Evaluate −f(a) f(x)=−5x²+2x−1

1 answer:

5 0

$\bf f(x)=-5x^2+2x-1\implies f(a)=-5(a)^2+2(a)-1
\\\\\\
f(a)=-5a^2+2a-1
\\\\\\
-f(a)\implies -~[-5a^2+2a-1]\implies 5a^2-2a+1$

An automated egg carton loader has a 1% probability of cracking an egg, and a customer will complain if more than one egg per do

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

a) Binomial distribution B(n=12,p=0.01)

b) P=0.007

c) P=0.999924

d) P=0.366

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The distribution of cracked eggs per dozen should be a binomial distribution B(12,0.01), as it can model 12 independent events.

b) To calculate the probability of having a carton of dozen eggs with more than one cracked egg, we will first calculate the probabilities of having zero or one cracked egg.

$P(k=0)=\binom{12}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{12}=1*0.886=0.886\\\\P(k=1)=\binom{12}{1}p^1(1-p)^{11}=12*0.01*0.99^{11}=12*0.01*0.895=0.107$

Then,

$P(k>1)=1-(P(k=0)+P(k=1))=1-(0.886+0.107)=1-0.993=0.007$

c) In this case, the distribution is B(1200,0.01)

$P(k=0)=\binom{1200}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{1200}=1* 0.000006 = 0.000006 \\\\ P(k=1)=\binom{1200}{1}p^1(1-p)^{1199}=1200*0.01*0.99^{1199}=1200*0.01* 0.000006 \\\\P(k=1)= 0.00007\\\\\\P(k\leq1)=0.000006+0.000070=0.000076\\\\\\P(k>1)=1-P(k\leq 1)=1-0.000076=0.999924$

d) In this case, the distribution is B(100,0.01)

We can calculate this probability as the probability of having 0 cracked eggs in a batch of 100 eggs.

$P(k=0)=\binom{100}{0}p^0(1-p)^{100}=0.99^{100}=0.366$

I WILL GIVE BRAINLEST PLEASE HELP

guapka [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with selecting which of the options best represents the difference of two squares.

Let’s have an exposition below as follows;

Consider two numbers, which are perfect squares and can be expressed as a square of their square roots;

a^2 and b^2

where a and b represents the square roots of the numbers respectively.

Inserting a difference between the two, we have;

a^2 - b^2

Now by applying the difference of two squares, these numbers will become;

a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a-b)

So our answer out of the options will be that option that could be expressed as above.

The correct answer to this is option A

Kindly note that;

x^2 -9 can be expressed as x^2 - 3^2 and consequently, this can be written as;

(x-3)(x + 3)
