The polynomial X^3 + 9x^2 - 22x - 240 expresses the volume, in cubic inches, of a shipping box, and the width is (x+6) in. If th

e width of the
box is 16 in., what are the other two dimensions? (Hint: The height is greater than the depth.)

Answer:

The dimensions of the box are 38 in by 36 in by 25 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the shipping box is given by  

V = x³ + 9x² - 22x - 240

If the width of the box is (x + 6), then it will be a factor of expression of volume, V.

Hence,  

V = x³ + 6x² + 3x² + 18x - 40x - 240

V = x²(x + 6) + 3x(x + 6) - 40(x + 6)

V = (x² + 3x - 40)(x + 6)

V = (x + 8)(x - 5)(x + 6)

So, the length = (x + 8) inches

the depth = (x - 5) inches

and width  = (x + 6) inches

Now, given that, (x + 6) = 36

⇒ x = 30

Therefore, length = (x + 8) = 38 inches and depth = (x - 5) = 25 inches.

Hence the dimensions of the box are 38 in by 36 in by 25 in. (Answer)

Acceptance Sampling Random sampling from a large lot of manufactured items yields a number of defective items X with an approxim
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Let β = np, n= 5 and p= 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.9 and 1

x > a, a= 0

The probability of an item inspected, P(x) = β∧x*e∧-β/x!

a) For x= 1: β = 5 X 0 = 0

P(x=1) = 0

For x = 2: β = 5 X 0.1 = 0.5

P(x=2) = 0.5²*e∧-0.5/2!

For x = 3: β = 5 X 0.3 = 1.5

P(x=3) = 1.5³*e∧-1.5/3!

For x =4: β = 5 X 0.5 = 2.5

P(x=4) = 2.5∧4*e∧-2.5/4!

For x = 5: β = 5 X 0.9 = 4.5

P(x=5) = 4.5∧5*e∧-4.5/5!

For x= 6: β = 5 X 1 = 5

P(x= 6) = 5∧6*e∧-5/6!

b) For plan1, x = 1: β + 10 X 0.1 = 1

P(x=1) = e∧-1/1! = 1/e = 1/2.718 = 0.368

For plan2, x=20: β = 100 X 0.1 = 10

P(x=20) = 10∧20*e∧-10/20!

Plan 2 is preferable because the probability of success is very small and the number of trial is comparatively large, hence, the poisson distribution will be suitable probability model.

d) Plan 1 is prefered instead, because the probability of success is larger and more profit is made.

e) Plen 2 is prefered, because it will be cheaper to afford.
