a) 0.4352

b) 0.5165

c) 0.0813

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have 3 defective parts scattered among 15 parts.

We are going to select 3 out of 15 without replacement, so the situation can be modeled with the Hypergeometric distribution.

If X is the random variable that measures the number of defective parts in a sample of 3, the probability of selecting exactly k defective parts out of 15 would be given by

$P(X=k)=\displaystyle\frac{\binom{3}{k}\binom{15-3}{3-k}}{\binom{15}{3}}$

a) what is the probability that the inspector finds exactly one nonconforming part?

Replacing k with 1 in our previous formula, we get

$P(X=1)=\displaystyle\frac{\binom{3}{1}\binom{15-3}{3-1}}{\binom{15}{3}}=\displaystyle\frac{3*66}{455}=0.4352$

b) what is the probability that the inspector finds at least one nonconforming part?

This would be P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3) = 1 - P(X=0).

$P(X=0)=\displaystyle\frac{\binom{3}{0}\binom{15-3}{3-0}}{\binom{15}{3}}=\displaystyle\frac{1*220}{455}=0.4835$

so 1 - P(X=0) = 1 - 0.4835 = 0.5165

c) what is the probability that the inspector finds at least two nonconforming part?

P(X=2) + P(X=3) = 1 - (P(X=0) + P(X=1)) = 1 - (0.4835 + 0.4352) =

= 1 - 0.9187 = 0.0813

Find the value of x such that 365 based seven + 43 based x = 217 based 10.

Pepsi [2]

We need to find the base x in the following equation:

$365_7+43_x=217_{10}$

First, lets convert 365 from base 7 to base 10. This is given by

$365_7=3\times7^2+6\times7^1+5\times7^0$

where the upperindex denotes the position of eah number. This gives

$\begin{gathered} 365_7=3\times49+6\times7+5\times1 \\ 365_7=147+42+5 \\ 365_7=194_{10} \end{gathered}$

that is, 365 based 7 is equal to 194 bases 10.

Now, lets do the same for 43 based x. Lets convert 43 based x to base 10:

$43_x=4\times x^1+3\times x^0$

where again, the superindex 0 and 1 denote the position 0 and 1 in the number 43. This gives

$43_x=(4x+3)_{10}$

Now, we have all number in base 10. Then, our first equation can be written in base 10 as

$194_{10}+(4x+3)_{10}=217_{10}$

For simplicity, we can omit the 10 and get

$194+4x+3=217$

so, we can solve this equation for x. By combining similar terms. we have

$197+4x=217$

and by moving 197 to the right hand side, we obtain

$\begin{gathered} 4x=217-197 \\ 4x=20 \end{gathered}$

Finally, we get

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{20}{4} \\ x=5 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the solution is x=5
