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.

3x + 2 =11 (solve for x)
torisob [31]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

first let's try to get just 3x on one side. to do this we can subtract 2 from both side of the equation.

3x+(2-2)=11-2

3x=9

now we have to isolate the variable we can divide both sides by 3:

3x/3=9/3

x=3

and you get the answer that x is 3

Oshua's mother has a family Christmas gathering at 2:00. Joshua must travel 348 miles to join the festivities. He left his house
gavmur [86]

Answer:

58 miles/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the family Christmas gathering has been scheduled at 2:00 p.m.,

and Joshua left the house at 8:00 a.m.

So, the total time available in order to arrive on time to attend the Christmas gathering, t=6 hours

The total distance, Joshua has to travel, d= 348 miles.

As average speed= (total distance)/(total time)

So, the average speed of driving = 348/6=58 miles/hour

Hence, Joshua must drive at an average speed of 58 miles/hour in order to arrive on time.

Jason's mom drove at 100 km/h for a 160 km trip. How much longer would
choli [55]

Answer:

Here is the way to get the answer

Step-by-step explanation:We use the formule: t=S/v. So:

+ t1= 160/100 = 8/5 hrs = 5760''

+ t2= 160/90 = 16/9 hrs = 6400''

=> t2-t1= 6400 - 5760 = 640'' = 10'40''
