SOLUTION

This is a binomial probability. For i, we will apply the Binomial probability formula

i. Exactly 2 are defective

Using the formula, we have

\begin{gathered} P_x=^nC_x\left(p^x\right?\left(q^{n-x}\right) \\ Where\text{ } \\ P_x=binomial\text{ probability} \\ x=number\text{ of times for a specific outcome with n trials =2} \\ p=\text{ probability of success = }\frac{4}{24}=\frac{1}{6} \\ q=probability\text{ of failure =1-}\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6} \\ ^nC_x=\text{ number of combinations = }^4C_2 \\ n=\text{ number of trials = 4} \end{gathered}

Note that I made the probability of being defective as the probability of success = p

and probability of none defective as probability of failure = q

Exactly 2 are defective becomes the binomial probability

\begin{gathered} P_x=^4C_2\times\lparen\frac{1}{6})^2\times\lparen\frac{5}{6})^{4-2} \\ P_x=6\times\frac{1}{36}\times\frac{25}{36} \\ P_x=\frac{25}{216} \\ =0.1157 \end{gathered}

Hence the answer is 0.1157

(ii) None is defective becomes

\begin{gathered} \lparen\frac{5}{6})^4=\frac{625}{1296} \\ =0.4823 \end{gathered}

hence the answer is 0.4823

(iii) All are defective

\begin{gathered} \lparen\frac{1}{6})^4=\frac{1}{1296} \\ =0.00077 \end{gathered}

(iv) At least one is defective

This is 1 - probability that none is defective

\begin{gathered} 1-\lparen\frac{5}{6})^4 \\ =1-\frac{625}{1296} \\ =\frac{671}{1296} \\ =0.5177 \end{gathered}

Hence the answer is 0.5177

velikii [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an investigator measuring various characteristics of a large group of athletes found that the correlation between the weight of an athlete and the amount of weight that athlete could lift was 0.60.

Correlation coefficient is the measure of association and a positive value implies that increase in one value causes increase in the other.

Hence out of the given options correct ones are

c) The more an athlete weights, on the average the more he weights.

d) The more an athlete can lift, on the average the more he weighs.

e) 60% of athlete's lifting ability can be attributed to his weight alone.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

1) 0, 180

2) 90

3) 3pi/2

4) pi/2, -3pi/2

5) 90, 270

6) 0

7) pi

8) -2pi, 0, 2pi

Step-by-step explanation:

1) sinx = 0

x = 0, 180, 360

2) sinx = 1

x = 90

3) sinx = -1

x = 270 or 3pi/2

4) sinx = 1

x = pi/2, pi/2 - 2pi = -3pi/2

5) cosx = 0

x = 90, 360

6) cosx = 1

x = 0, 360

7) cosx = -1

x = pi

8) cosx = 1
