e that two cans are randomly selected from the 18-pack.
a) Determine the probability that both contain diet soda. P(both diet soda)

b) Determine the probability that both contain regular soda. P(both regular)

Answer:

a) There is a 1.21% probability that both contain diet soda.

b) There is a 79.21% probability that both contain diet soda.

c)  P(X = 2) is unusual, P(X = 0) is not unusual

d) There is a 19.58% probability that exactly one is diet and exactly one is regular.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only two possible outcomes. Either the can has diet soda, or it hasn't. So we use the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability 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}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And \pi is the probability of X happening.

A number of sucesses x is considered unusually low if P(X \leq x) \leq 0.05 and unusually high if P(X \geq x) \geq 0.05

In this problem, we have that:

Two cans are randomly chosen, so n = 2

Two out of 18 cans are filled with diet coke, so \pi = \frac{2}{18} = 0.11

a) Determine the probability that both contain diet soda. P(both diet soda)

That is P(X = 2).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}(0.11)^{2}(0.89)^{0} = 0.0121

There is a 1.21% probability that both contain diet soda.

b)Determine the probability that both contain regular soda. P(both regular)

That is P(X = 0).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}(0.11)^{0}(0.89)^{2} = 0.7921

There is a 79.21% probability that both contain diet soda.

c) Would this be unusual?

We have that P(X = 2) is unusual, since P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) = 0.0121 \leq 0.05

For P(X = 0), it is not unusually high nor unusually low.

d) Determine the probability that exactly one is diet and exactly one is regular. P(one diet and one regular)

That is P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.\pi^{x}.(1-\pi)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{2,1}(0.11)^{1}(0.89)^{1} = 0.1958

There is a 19.58% probability that exactly one is diet and exactly one is regular.

Una empresa fabrica dos productos, X y Y. Cada cantidad del articulo X producida requiere dos horas de trabajo en una taladrador
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

la respuesta esta abajo

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Sea x el número del artículo x mientras que y representa el número del artículo y.

Dado que cada cantidad de artículo x requiere 2 horas de trabajo de perforación, mientras que cada cantidad de artículo y requiere 5 horas de trabajo de perforación. Hay un máximo de 40 horas disponibles, por tanto el modelo se da como:

2x + 5y ≤ 40

b) La trama se trazó utilizando la herramienta gráfica en línea de geogebra.

c) Para 10 unidades de X y 5 unidades de y:

2 (10) + 5 (5) = 45> 40

Por lo tanto, esto no sería posible porque requerirá 45 horas de perforación, lo que es más que el máximo de 40 horas disponibles.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = ∑x/ N

91 = ∑x / 150

∑x = 150 * 91 = 13650

x= 6825 and y = 6825
