Answer:

(a) Probability that there are no surface flaws in an auto's interior is 0.6703 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the number of surface flaws in plastic panels used in the interior of automobiles has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.04 flaws per square foot of plastic panel.

Let X = Distribution of number of surface flaws in plastic panels

So, X ~ Poisson(\lambda)

The mean of Poisson distribution is given by, E(X) = \lambda = 0.04

which means, X ~ Poisson(0.04)

The probability distribution function of a Poisson random variable is:

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!}; for  x=0,1,2,3...

Now, we know that \lambda for per square foot of plastic panel is 0.04 and we are given that an automobile interior contains 10 square feet of plastic panel.

Therefore, \lambda for 10 square foot of plastic panel is = 10 * 0.04 = 0.4

(a) Probability that there are no surface flaws in an auto's interior =P(X=0)

     P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.4}*0.4^{0}}{0!} = e^{-0.4} = 0.6703

Advocard [28]

Which sampling method divides the population up into​ sections, randomly selects some of those​ sections, then chooses all the members from the selected sections to​ study?

Answer: The above mentioned type of sampling is called cluster sampling.

Cluster sampling is a sampling technique in which the entire population of interest is divided into clusters or groups, then the investigator randomly selects some of these clusters and all the members of these randomly selected clusters are investigated.

Answer:

14x + 23

Step-by-step explanation:

The lengths of three sides of a triangle are 5x + 9 feet, 2x + 14 feet, and 7x feet.

The perimeter of a triangle: the sum of all of its sides.

5x + 9 + 2x + 14 + 7x

14x + 23

It's the expression of the perimeter of the triangle. Once you will be asked to find x, you'll probably be given the exact perimeter of the triangle.
