Answer:

(a) The Probability that at most three lines are in use is 0.70.

(b) The Probability that fewer than three lines are in use is 0.45.

(c) The Probability that at least three lines are in use is 0.55.

(d) The Probability that between two and five lines, inclusive, are in use is 0.70.

(e) The Probability that between two and four lines, inclusive, are not in use is 0.35.

(f) The Probability that at least four lines are not in use is 0.70.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The complete question is: </u>A mail-order company business has six telephone lines. Let X denote the number of lines in use at a specified time. Suppose the pmf of X is as given in the accompanying table.

X    0          1       2       3          4             5               6

P(X)  0.10      0.15      0.20       0.25         0.20      0.05         0.05  

Calculate the probability of each of the following events.

(a) {at most three lines are in use}

(b) {fewer than three lines are in use}  

(c) {at least three lines are in use}  

(d) {between two and five lines, inclusive, are in use}

(e) {between two and four lines, inclusive, are not in use}

(f) {at least four lines are not in use}

Now considering the above probability distribution;

(a) The Probability that at most three lines are in use is given by = P(X \leq 3)

    P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

                  = 0.10 + 0.15 + 0.20 + 0.25

                  = 0.70

(b) The Probability that fewer than three lines are in use is given by = P(X < 3)

    P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

                  = 0.10 + 0.15 + 0.20

                  = 0.45

(c) The Probability that at least three lines are in use is given by = P(X \geq 3)

    P(X \geq 3) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

                  = 0.25 + 0.20 + 0.05 + 0.05

                  = 0.55

(d) The Probability that between two and five lines, inclusive, are in use is given by = P(2 \leq X \leq 5)

    P(2 \leq X \leq 5) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)

                         = 0.20 + 0.25 + 0.20 + 0.05

                         = 0.70

(e) The Probability that between two and four lines, inclusive, are not in use is given by = 1 - P(2 \leq X \leq 4)

    1 - P(2 \leq X \leq 4) = 1 - [P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)]

                             = 1 - [0.20 + 0.25 + 0.20]

                             = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

(f) The Probability that at least four lines are not in use is given by = 1 - Probability that at least four lines are in use = 1 - P(X \geq 4)

    1 - P(X \geq 4) = 1 - [P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)]

                       = 1 - [0.20 + 0.05 + 0.05]

                       = 1 - 0.30 = 0.70

Simplify fully please
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

8x² + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x² + 3)² - (x² - 1)² ← expand both factors using FOIL

= x^{4} + 6x² + 9 - (x^{4} - 2x² + 1) ← distribute by - 1

= x^{4} + 6x² + 9 - x^{4} + 2x² - 1 ← collect like terms

= 8x² + 8

Simplify the given expression below: (7-3i)•(2-i)
Dimas [21]

when multiplying two binomials together we use the F.O.I.L. method:

First

Outer

Inner

Last

(7-3i)(2-i)

First: 7 * 2 ..... Outter: 7 * -i .... Inner: -3i * 2 ...... Last: -3i * -i

First: 14 ...... Outter= -7i ..... Inner: -6i .... Last: 3i^2

putting this together we get 14-7i-6i+2i^2

We combine like terms and end up with 2i^2-13i+14
