1) We have that the equation is 
, hence y=x^2/20. The standard equation of such an equation is y=
. Hence, p=5 in this case. The focus is at (0,5) and the directrix is at y=-5 (a tip is that the directrix is always "opposite" the focus point of a parabola; if the directrix is at x=-7 for example, the focus is at (7,0)).
2) Similarly, we have that the equation is
. Thus, p=1/12. In this case, the parabola opens along the x-axis and the focus is at (1/12, 0). Also, the directrix is at x=-1/12. Hence the correct answer is B.
3) We are given that the parabola has a p of 9. Also, the focus lies along the y-axis, hence the parabola is opening along the y-axis. Finally, the focus is on the positive half, so the parabola is opening upwards. The equation for this case is y=
.
4) Similarly as above. The directrix is superfluous, we only need the p-value. THe same comments about the parabola apply and if we substitute p=8 in the formula:
we get y=
.
5) This is somewhat different, even though we do not need the directrix again. The focus lies on the x-axis, thus the parabola opens in this direction. The focus lies on the positive part of the axis, thus the parabola opens to the right. We also are given p=7. Hence, the equation we need is of the form
. Substituting p=7, we get 
.
6) The equation of a prabola with a vertex at (0,0) is of the form y=-ax^2. The minus sign is needed since the parabola is downwards. Since we are given anothe point, we can calculate a. We have to take y=-74 and x=14 feet (since left to right is 28, we need to take half).
. Thus a=0.378. Hence the correct expressions is y=-0.378*

Answer:
Probability that fewer than 2 of these parts are defective is 0.604.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that at a certain auto parts manufacturer, the Quality Control division has determined that one of the machines produces defective parts 19% of the time.
A random sample of 7 parts produced by this machine is chosen.
The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;
where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 7 parts
r = number of success = fewer than 2
p = probability of success which in our question is % of defective
parts produced by one of the machine, i.e; 19%
<em>LET X = Number of parts that are defective</em>
<u>So, it means X ~ Binom(n = 7, p = 0.19)</u>
Now, probability that fewer than 2 of these parts are defective is given by = P(X < 2)
P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)
=
=
= <u>0.604</u>
<em>Therefore, the probability that fewer than 2 of these parts are defective is 0.604.</em>
