Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let side of cube=x cm

volume=x³ cm³

again side=(x-3) cm

volume=(x-3)³ cm³

x³-(x-3)³=1385

(a³-b³)=(a-b)(a²+ab+b²)

(x-x+3){x²+x(x-3)+(x-3)²}=1385

3(x^2+x²-3x+x²-6x+9)=1385

3(3x²-9x+9)=1385

9x²-27x+27=1385

9x²-27x+27-1385=0

9x²-27x-1358=0

x=\frac{27\pm\sqrt{(-27)^2-4*9*(-1358)} }{2*9} \\x=\frac{27\pm\sqrt{729+48888} }{18} \\or~x=\frac{27\pm\sqrt{49617} }{18} \\or~x=\frac{27\pm 222.749}{18} \\taking positive side only as negative sign gives negative length.\\or~x=\frac{27+222.749}{18} \\or~x\approx13.87

A company that produces fine crystal knows from experience that 13% of its goblets have cosmetic flaws and must be classified as
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

(a) The probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b) The probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c) The probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of seconds in the batch.

The probability of the random variable <em>X</em> is, <em>p</em> = 0.31.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> and <em>p</em>.

The probability mass function of <em>X</em> is:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...

(a)

Compute the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

P(X=1)={6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=6\times 0.13\times 0.4984\\=0.3888

Thus, the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

              =1-{6\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{6-0}-{6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=1-0.4336+0.3888\\=0.1776

Thus, the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c)

If goblets are examined one by one then to find four that are not seconds we need to select either 4 goblets that are not seconds or 5 goblets including only 1 second.

P (4 not seconds) = P (X = 0; n = 4) + P (X = 1; n = 5)

                            ={4\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{4-0}+{5\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{5-1}\\=0.5729+0.3724\\=0.9453

Thus, the probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.

Use the distributive property and combine like terms to simplify: u(v−10)
siniylev [52]

Answer:

uv - 10u

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute a problem, you have to multiply what is on the outside of the parenthesis with what is on the inside.

u · v = uv

u · -10 = -10u

Combined, u(v - 10) = uv - 10u.
