Answer:
0.762 = 76.2% probability that this shipment is accepted
Step-by-step explanation:
For each pen, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a pen being defective is independent from other pens. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
17 randomly selected pens
This means that
(a) Find the probability that this shipment is accepted if 10% of the total shipment is defective. (Use 3 decimal places.)
This is when
. So
0.762 = 76.2% probability that this shipment is accepted
Answer:
5x² +19x +76 +310/(x-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The process is straightforward. Find the quotient term, multiply it by the divisor and subtract from the dividend to get the new dividend. Repeat until the dividend is a constant (lower-degree than the divisor).
The tricky part with this one is realizing that there is no x-term in the original dividend, so that term needs to be added with a 0 coefficient. The rather large remainder is also unexpected, but that's the way this problem unfolds.

Unlike numerical long division, polynomial long division is simplified by the fact that the quotient term is the ratio of the highest-degree terms of the dividend and divisor. Here, the first quotient term is (5x^3)/(x) = 5x^2.
