Answer:

28.6, that is, about 29 are expected to be defective

Step-by-step explanation:

For each battery, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a battery being defective is independent of other betteries. So the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The probability that a battery is defective is 1/14.

This means that p = \frac{1}{14}

400 batteries.

This means that n = 400

How many are expected to be defective?

E(X) = np = 400*\frac{1}{14} = 28.6

28.6, that is, about 29 are expected to be defective

State the domain and range of the following relation<br> x^2+y^2=16
Vlada [557]

The domain and range is  [-4, 4] and [0, 4]

<h3 /><h3>What is Domain and range?</h3>

The domain of a function is the set of values that we are allowed to plug into our function.

The range of a function is the set of values that the function assumes.

x² + y² = 16

y = √16 - x²

For domain under root should not be negative quantity,

16 - x²≥0

16≥x²

So, x≤4 or x≥4

Thus, the domain is  [-4, 4]

Range:

y is maximum at x=0, y=4

y is minimum at x=4, y=0

Thus, range = [0, 4]

Dado que:

Kilogramo total de mandarina = 9 kg

Tamaño de cada distribución = 3/4 de kilo

Número de mallas:

Kilogramo / tamaño total por distribución

9 kg ÷ 3/4 kg

9 * 4/3

= (9 * 4) / 3

= 36/3
