If a publisher of nontechnical books takes great pains to ensure that itsbooks are free of typos, so that the probability of any

given page containing at leastone such error is .005 & errors are independent from page to page. What is theprobability that:(a) One of its 400-page novels will contain exactly 1 page with errors? Answer: .271(b) At most three pages are with errors? Answer: .857

Answer:

(a) The probability of exactly 1 page has error is 0.271.

(b) The probability that there are at most 3 pages has error is 0.857.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of typos.

The probability of a typo is, P (X) = <em>p </em>= 0.005.

The number of pages in the novel is, <em>n</em> = 400.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameter <em>n</em> and <em>p</em>.

But as the probability is very small and the sample size is too large we can use Poisson distribution to approximate the binomial distribution.

This distribution has parameter, \lambda=np=400\times0.005=2.

The probability mass function of the Poisson distribution is:

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-2}2^{x}}{x!} ;\ x=0,1,2,...

(a)

Compute the probability of exactly 1 page has error as follows:

P(X=1)=\frac{e^{-2}2^{1}}{1!} =\frac{0.13534\times2}{1} =0.27068\approx0.271

Thus, the probability of exactly 1 page has error is 0.271.

(b)

Compute the probability that there are at most 3 pages has error as follows:

P (X ≤ 3) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1) + P (X = 2) + P (X = 3)

              =\frac{e^{-2}2^{0}}{0!}+\frac{e^{-2}2^{1}}{1!}+\frac{e^{-2}2^{2}}{2!}+\frac{e^{-2}2^{3}}{3!}\\=0.13534+0.27067+0.27067+0.18045\\=0.85713\\\approx0.857

Thus, the probability that there are at most 3 pages has error is 0.857.

at the start of the shift your part counter reads 250 at the end of the shift the part counter reads 1075 how many parts did you
Luden [163]
This can be mathematically expressed to
 250 + X  = 1075
where X represents the parts you produce before the shift ends
Transpose 250 to the other side by subtracting each side by 250
Thus, it goes like this
X = 1075 - 250
X = 825

You produced 825 parts in the middle of the shift.

Pls plsss help with math, it’s easyyy!! explanation needed!!
zimovet [89]

Answer:

C. x = -12 and x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-x²-10x+24=0     Original equation

x²+10x-24=0      Divide everything by -1

(x+12)(x-2)=0      Factor it out

x=-12,2               Solve so that the inside of the parentheses equals 0

Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval? f(x) = ln x, [1,7] choose one letter t
inn [45]
ANSWER

B.Yes, f is continuous on [1, 7] and differentiable on (1, 7).

c\approx 3.08

EXPLANATION

The given

f(x) = ln(x)

The hypotheses are

1. The function is continuous on [1, 7].

2. The function is differentiable on (1, 7).

3. There is a c, such that:

f'(c) = \frac{f(7) - f(1)}{7 - 1}

f'(x) = \frac{1}{x}

This implies that;

\frac{1}{c} = \frac{ ln(7) - 0}{6}

\frac{1}{c} = \frac{ ln(7)}{6}

c = \frac{6}{ ln(7) }

c\approx 3.08

Since the function is continuous on [1, 7] and differentiable on (1, 7) it satisfies the mean value theorem.
