The Copy Shop has made 20 copies of a document for you. Since the defective rate is 0.1, you think there may be some defective c

opies in your order, so you leaf through the first ten (which are a randomly chosen subset).
If there are 2 defective copies among the 20, what is the probability that you will encounter neither of the defective copies among the 10 you examine?


X = number of copies with a defect


a. X ~ binomial


b. X ~ negative binomial


c. X ~ hypergeometric


d. X ~ Poisson

Answer:

Binomial

There is a 34.87% probability that you will encounter neither of the defective copies among the 10 you examine.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each copy of the document, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability 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 combinatios 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.

In this problem

Of the 20 copies, 2 are defective, so p = \frac{2}{20} = 0.1.

What is the probability that you will encounter neither of the defective copies among the 10 you examine?

This is P(X = 0) when n = 10.

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

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{10} = 0.3487

There is a 34.87% probability that you will encounter neither of the defective copies among the 10 you examine.

What is the mean absolute deviation of this data set? 26, 31, 32, and 39
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

26, 31, 32, and 39

First we need to find the mean

(26+ 31+ 32+ 39) /4

128/4 = 32

The mean absolute deviation is sum of   the positive difference between the number and the mean  divided by the number of terms

((32-26)+ (32-31)+ (32-32)+ (39-32)) /4

14/4

Point Y is in the interior of ∠XWZ. Given that (ray) WX and (ray) WZ are opposite rays and m∠XWY = 4(m∠YWZ), what is m∠YWZ?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

m∠YWZ = 36°

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Point Y is in the interior of ∠XWZ

- Rays WX and WZ sre opposite rays

- That means rays WX and WZ formed a straight angle

- m∠XWY = 4(m∠YWZ)

- We need to find the m∠YWZ

* Lets solve the problem

∵ Rays WX and WZ are opposite rays

∴ ∠XWZ is a straight angle

∵ The measure of the straight angle is 180°

∴ m∠XWZ = 180°

- Point Y is in the interior of ∠XWZ

∴ m∠XWZ = m∠XWY + m∠YWZ

∵ m∠XWY = 180°

∴ m∠XWY + m∠YWZ = 180° ⇒ (1)

∵ m∠XWY = 4(m∠YWZ) ⇒ (2)

- Substitute equation (2) in equation (1)

- That means replace m∠XWY by 4(m∠YWZ)

∴ 4(m∠YWZ) + m∠YWZ = 180

∴ 5(m∠YWZ) = 180

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ m∠YWZ = 36°
