When purchasing bulk orders of batteries, a toy manufacturer uses this acceptance sampling plan: Randomly select and test 55 bat

teries and determine whether each is within specification. The entire shipment is accepted if at most 3 batteries do not meet specifications. A shipment contains 3000 batteries, and 2% of them do not meet specifications. What is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted? Will almost all such shipments be accepted, or will many be rejected?

The probability of accepting this shipment is 98%.

What is probability?

The area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical representations of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true. An event's probability is between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 denotes the event's impossibility and 1 denotes certainty.

Here, we have

Almost all such shipments will be accepted because the probability of having a sample with more than 3 defective batteries is very low.

The shipment will be accepted if at most 3 batteries don't meet specifications.

This can be modeled as a binomial distribution, where the sample size is n=55 and the probability of not meeting the specifications of any battery is p=0.02.

The shipment will be accepted if D ≤ 3.

The probability of this event is:

P( D ≤ 3) = P(D=0) + P(D=1) + P(D=2) + P(D=3)

P(D=X) = n!/(x!(n-x)!) pˣ(1-p)ⁿ⁻ˣ

P(D=0) = 55!/(0!(55-0)!) 0.02⁰(1-0.02)⁵⁵⁻⁰ = 1× 1 × 0.32 = 0.32

P(D=1) = 55!/(1!(55-1)!) 0.02¹(1-0.02)⁵⁴ = 54 × 0.02 × 0.33= 0.35

P(D=2) = 55!/(2!(55-2)!) 0.02²(1-0.02)⁵³ = 55 ×27 × 0.0004 × 0.34= 0.20

P(D=3) = 55!/(3!(55-3)!) 0.02³(1-0.02)⁵² = 25740× 0.0000008 × 0.35= 0.07

Then,

P( D ≤ 3) = P(D=0) + P(D=1) + P(D=2) + P(D=3)

P( D ≤ 3) = 0.32 + 0.35 + 0.20 + 0.07

P( D ≤ 3) = 0.98

Hence, the probability of accepting this shipment is 98%.

Using the method of completing the square, put each circle into the form
tatiyna

Answer:

Standard form: (x-\frac{1}{2})^2 + (y-0)^2 = 15

Center: (\frac{1}{2}, 0)

Radius: r =\sqrt{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in the standard form is

(x-h)^{2} + (y-k)^{2} = r^{2}

Where the point (h, k) is the center of the circle

To transform this equation 4x^{2} -4x + 4y^{2} - 59 = 0 this equation  in the standard form we use the method of square.

First, we group similar variables

(4x^{2} -4x) + (4y^{2}) - 59 = 0

Divide both sides of equality by 4

(x^{2} -x) + (y^{2}) - 14.75 = 0

Now we complete square for variable x.

Take the coefficient "b" that accompanies the variable x and divide by 2. Then, elevate the result to the square:

b =-1\\\\\frac{b}{2}= \frac{-1}{2}= -\frac{1}{2}\\\\(\frac{b}{2})^2=  (-\frac{1}{2})^2 = \frac{1}{4}

Now add (\frac{b}{2})^2 on both sides of the equality

(x^{2} -x +\frac{1}{4}) + (y^{2}) - 14.75 = (\frac{1}{4})

Factor the expression and simplify the independent terms

(x-\frac{1}{2})^2 + (y^{2}) = 15

(x-\frac{1}{2})^2 + (y-0)^2 = 15

Then

h =\frac{1}{2}\\\\k=0

and the center is (\frac{1}{2}, 0)

radius r =\sqrt{15}
