A quality inspector at a valve manufacturer randomly selects one valve from each batch of fifty valves to inspect for noncomplia

nce. The first batch of fifty valves has five non-compliant ones. The second batch of fifty valves has four non-compliant valves. Find the probability that the inspector selects a non-compliant valve both times. A) 1/100 B) 1/125 C) 1/9 D) 9/50

Answer:

The correct answer is B  \frac{1}{125}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

The fist step is to determine the probability of selecting a non-compliant valve from the first batch. Since there are 5 non-compliant valves in the batch out of 50 , we determine that the probability of finding a non-compliant valve is P(A)=\frac{5}{50}.

Step 2

The second step is to determine the probability of selecting a non-compliant valve from the second batch. Since there are 4 non-compliant valves in the batch out of 50 , we determine that the probability of finding a non-compliant valve is P(B)=\frac{4}{50}.

Step 3

The last step is to determine the probability of getting non-compliant valves both times. Since the two events are independent of each other, we find the probability by multiplying the probability  of both events. The calculation is carried out as shown below,

P(A)\times P(B)=\frac{5}{50} \times\frac{4}{50} =\frac{20}{2500} =\frac{1}{125}.

The probability of 2 non-compliant valves is \frac{1}{125}.

A) part of it is decreasing, part of it is increasing.  

Going left-to-right, the downhill/negative slope is the decreasing portion (x<-1) and the uphill/positive slope is the increasing portion (x>-1).  

B) The x-intercepts are the points where the graph intersects the x-axis: (2,0) and (-4,0).

C: The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis: (0,-2).

D: There is no absolute maximum.  The graph keeps going up forever.

E: The absolute minimum <u>point</u> is at that bottom, at (-1, -3).  The absolute minimum <u>value</u> is -3, since that's the lowest y-value used.

Graph a line that contains the point (3,-6) and has a slope of -1/2
djyliett [7]
If I were you, I would make the starting point (3,-6). From there, you will want to use the slope of -1/2 (go down 1 unit and to the right 2 units and draw a point)

The value -2 is a lower bound for the zeros of the function shown below.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x³ - 12x² - x + 15

Set output to 0.

Factor the function.

0 = (x + 1)(2x - 3)(2x - 5)

Set factors equal to 0.

x + 1 = 0

x = -1

2x - 3 = 0

2x = 3

x = 3/2

2x - 5 = 0

2x = 5

x = 5/2

-2 is not a lower bound for the zeros of the function.
