Company F sells fabrics known as fat quarters, which are rectangles of fabric created by cutting a yard of fabric into four piec

es. Occasionally the manufacturing process results in a fabric defect. Let the random variable X represent the number of defects on a fat quarter created by Company F. The following table shows the probability distribution of X.
X 0 1 2 3 4 or more
probability 0.58 0.23 0.11 0.05 0.03
If a fat quarter has more than 2 defects, it cannot be sold and is discarded. Let the random variable Y represent the number of defects on a fat quarter that can be sold by Company F.

(a) Construct the probability distribution of the random variable Y.

(b) Determine the mean and standard deviation of Y. Show your work.

Company G also sells fat quarters. The mean and standard deviation of the number of defects on a fat quarter that can be sold by Company G are 0.40 and 0.66, respectively. The fat quarters sell for $5.00 each but are discounted by $1.50 for each defect found.

(c) What are the mean and standard deviation of the selling price for the fat quarters sold by Company G?

Answer:

a) Y 0 1 2

P(Y) 0.58 0.23 0.11

b) mean= 0.45, S.D= 0.6718

c) mean= 1.285, S.D= 8.74

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The following table shows the probability distribution of X:

X 0 1 2 3 4 or more

P(X) 0.58 0.23 0.11 0.05 0.03

Defect >2 = cannot be sold

Y = the number of defects on a fat quarter that can be sold by Company F.

Y = defect that can be sold

Y = Defect less or equal to 2 = 0,1,2

Probability distribution of the random variable Y:

Y 0 1 2

P(Y) 0.58 0.23 0.11

b) mean of Y (μ)

μ = Σ x*P(Y)

= (0*0.58) +(1*0.23)+(2*0.11)

= 0+0.23+0.22 = 0.45

Standard deviation of Y = σ

σ = Σ√(x-mean)^2*P(Y)

= Σ√[(x- μ )^2*P(Y)]

= √[(0-0.45)^2*0.58+ (1-0.45)^2*0.23 + (2-0.45)^2*0.11]

= √[0.11745 + 0.069575 +0.264275

= √(0.4513

σ = 0.6718

Company G:

σ for defect that be sold = 0.66

μ for defect that be sold = 0.40

Difference between μ of F and μ of G

= 0.45-0.40 = 0.05

Difference between σ of F and σ of G

= 0.67-0.66 = 0.01

Selling price of fat quarter without defect = $5

Discount per defect = $1.5

Selling price per defect = 5-1.5 = $3.5

Discount per 2 defect = $1.5*2 = $3

Selling price per defect = 5-3 = $2

Since defect to be sold cannot be greater than 2, let Y = 5,3,2

Probability distribution of the selling price Y:

Y 5 3 2

P(Y) 0.58 0.23 0.11

μ = (5*0.58) +(3.5*0.23)+(2*0.11)

μ = 2.9+0.805+0.22 =1.285

σ = Σ√[(x- μ )^2*P(Y)]

σ = √[(5-1.285)^2*0.58+ (3-1.285)^2*0.23 + (2-1.285)^2*0.11]

σ = 8.00+0.68+0.06 = 8.74

PLEASE PLEASEE ANSWER THE QUESTION IN THE PICTURE BELOW
KatRina [158]

Answer: Choice C

Vertex = (5, -2)

===============================================

Explanation:

Vertex form is y = a(x-h)^2 + k where the vertex itself is located at (h,k)

As the name implies, we can very quickly pull out the coordinates of the vertex without doing much math at all.

In the case of choice C, we have y=  \frac{1}{2}(x-5)^2 - 2 which is the same as y = \frac{1}{2}(x-5)^2 + (-2) and we can see that h = 5 and k = -2. Therefore, the vertex is located at (h,k) = (5, -2)

What is the calculation for determining simple interest and compound interest? Borrowing if borrowed $20,000 for 5 years at a 4%
yarga [219]

Answer:

If using simple interest, the formula is:

= Amount * ( 1 + rate * time)

= 20,000 * ( 1 + 4% * 5)

= $24,000

Interest = Balance after 5 years - Investment

= 24,000 - 20,000

= $4,000

Using Compound Interest:

= Amount * ( 1 + rate)^time

= 20,000 * ( 1 + 4%)⁵

= $24,333.06

Interest = 24,333.06 - 20,000

= $4,333.06

Help me plsss....
eimsori [14]

Answer:

If it took the motorcycle 2 hours to cover 20km, then the average speed is 10km per hour.

Speed is equal to distance over time. So 20km divided by 2 hours is 10 km per hour.
