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

<span>We have the number 81 as the largest perfect square in the range of the statement.
Since we have it as the largest square, then its largest possible modulus of "x" will be when </span>x^2 = 81<span>, that is, when </span>| x | = 9<span>.
Since it is the largest possible module, the rightmost number of the "0" in the line of integers, with the largest number being x = 9 and the leftmost number of the "0" in the line of integers, , Will be </span>x = - 9<span> 

Therefore, the difference requested in the statement is:
</span>v = 9 - (- 9) \longrightarrow v = 9+9 \longrightarrow \boxed{\boxed{v = 18}}

A group of retired admirals, generals, and other senior military leaders, recently published a report, "Too Fat to Fight". The r
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.694 -0.75}{\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{180}}}=-1.735  

p_v =P(z  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of americans between 17 to 24 that not qualify for the military is significantly less than 0.75 or 75% .  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n=180 represent the random sample taken  

X=125 represent the number of americans between 17 to 24 that not qualify for the military

\hat p=\frac{125}{180}=0.694 estimated proportion of americans between 17 to 24 that not qualify for the military

p_o=0.75 is the value that we want to test  

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level  

Confidence=95% or 0.95  

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that less than 75% of Americans between the ages of 17 to 24 do not qualify for the military :  

Null hypothesis: p\geq 0.75  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.75  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.  

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.694 -0.75}{\sqrt{\frac{0.75(1-0.75)}{180}}}=-1.735  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z  

If we compare the p value obtained and the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of americans between 17 to 24 that not qualify for the military is significantly less than 0.75 or 75% .

A country's population in 1993 was 116 million.
labwork [276]

Answer:

124 million in 2007

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportion match question, we consider 121-116 to represent a 9 year change = 5 rate of change per 9 years. We need to find one year so we divide 5/9=0.55 per year growth. =2002- 2007= 0.55 million x 5 = 2.8million growth add 121 million = 121 =123.8 in 2007 = 124 million to nearest m.
