solution:

p=ncx ,. p^x.Q^{n-x}\\

where p and q are the probabilities of success and failure respectively.\\

in this case p =0.10 and Q=0.90\\

ncx= \frac{n!}{x!(n-x!)}\\

p(exactly one defect in a random sample of 5)\\

=5(0.10)^1(0.90)^4=0.3281\\

p(no. defects in a random sample of 5)\\

=1(0.90)^5=0.5905

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below.​
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

37°

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition all internal angles of a triangle add up to 180°

Hence,

98° + 45° + x = 180°

x = 180° - 98° - 45° = 37°

A customer service phone line claims that the wait times before a call is answered by a service representative is less than 3.3
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

(A) Yes, since the test statistic is in the rejection region defined by the critical value, reject the null. The claim is the alternative, so the claim is supported.

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis: The wait time before a call is answered by a service representative is 3.3 minutes.

Alternate hypothesis: The wait time before a call is answered by a service representative is less than 3.3 minutes.

Test statistic (t) = (sample mean - population mean) ÷ sd/√n

sample mean = 3.24 minutes

population mean = 3.3 minutes

sd = 0.4 minutes

n = 62

degree of freedom = n - 1 = 62 - 1 = 71

significance level = 0.08

t = (3.24 - 3.3) ÷ 0.4/√62 = -0.06 ÷ 005 = -1.2

The test is a one-tailed test. The critical value corresponding to 61 degrees of freedom and 0.08 significance level is 1.654

Conclusion:

Reject the null hypothesis because the test statistic -1.2 is in the rejection region of the critical value 1.654. The claim is contained in the alternative hypothesis, so it is supported.
