Consider writing onto a computer disk and then sending it through a certifier that counts the number of missing pulses. Suppose

Furkat [3]

Answer:

a) 0.164 = 16.4% probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse

b) 0.017 = 1.7% probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses

c) 0.671 = 67.1% probability that neither contains a missing pulse

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the Poisson distribution and the binomial distribution(for item c).

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}
$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

$
e = 2.71828$ is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

Binomial distribution:

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Poisson mean:

$\mu = 0.2$

a. What is the probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse?

One disk, so Poisson.

This is P(X = 1).

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.2}*0.2^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.164
$

0.164 = 16.4% probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse

b. What is the probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses?

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}
$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.2}*0.2^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.819$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.2}*0.2^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.164
$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.819 + 0.164 = 0.983$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.983 = 0.017$

0.017 = 1.7% probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses

c. If two disks are independently selected, what is the probability that neither contains a missing pulse?

Two disks, so binomial with n = 2.

A disk has a 0.819 probability of containing no missing pulse, and a 1 - 0.819 = 0.181 probability of containing a missing pulse, so $p = 0.181$

We want to find P(X = 0).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.181)^{0}.(0.819)^{2} = 0.671$

0.671 = 67.1% probability that neither contains a missing pulse

The polynomial of degree 4, P ( x ) has a root of multiplicity 2 at x = 4 and roots of multiplicity 1 at x = 0 and x = − 4 . It

Annette [7]

Answer: P(x) = {(x-4)^2} (x) (x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start with the multiplicity of 2;

At multiplicity of 2; x=4.

Therefore, x - 4 is a factor of the function P(x).

Since it has a multiplicity of 2, we will rewrite the factor as (x-4)^2

Now for the multiplicity of 1.

At this multiplicity of 1, x= 0 and - 4.

Therefore, the factors are x-0 and x+4

Since multiplicity of 1, the factors remain as they are without any additional root on top.

Therefore, the factors of the polynomial p(x) are (x-4)^2 and x and x+4.

And solution of P(x) in factor form will be: P(x) = {(x-4)^2} (x) (x+4)

PLS HELP ITS URGENT!!

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

SA= 28 in^2

V= 14 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference= 2πr

9.4 = 2πr

r = 1.496

surface area of a ball = $4\pi r^{2}$

= $4\pi (1.496)^{2}$

=28 in^2

volume of a ball= $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

= $\frac{4}{3} \pi (1.496)^{3}$

=14 in^3
