The numbers are part of an arithmetic progression, where the difference between each succeeding number is reduced by 1 each time. Between 107 and 98, the difference is 9. Between 98 and 90, the difference is 8, and so on. This is shown below:

107 - 98 = 9
98 - 90 = 8
90 - 83 = 7
83 - 77 = 6
77 - x = 5
x - 68 = 4
68 - 65 = 3

From that, we can solve for x using either of the equations:

77 - x = 5
x = 77 - 5
x = 72

Therefore 72 would complete the pattern.

Solve for x, give exact answers: 6x^2 - 7x - 3 = 0

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6x∧2-7x-3=0

the coefficient of x² multiplied by -3 = -18

we need to look for 2 numbers that when we add it to together it will equate to -7x

+2 and -9 is the answer

6x∧2+2x-9x-3=0

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

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

equate each brackets to 0

2x-3=0 3x+1=0

2x=3 3x=-1

x=3/2 x=-1/3

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
