Answer:

3y - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We combine like terms. The y terms are 10y, -8y and y which combine to 3y. Think of it like having 10 items, take away 8 items but then add on 1 more. So we'd have 10-8+1 = 2+1 = 3 items overall. Replace "Items" with y and we have 10y-8y+1y = (10-8+1)y = 3y

The other terms are constant terms as they dont have any variables attached to them. These terms are -3, 4 and -6 which combine to -3+4-6 = 1-6 = -5

In summary, the y terms combine to 3y while the constant terms combine to -5. Put together, the fully simplified answer is 3y-5

6. (4.2.12) Of the items manufactured by a certain process, 20% are defective. Of the defective items, 60% can be repaired. a. F

Answer:

(a) Probability that a randomly chosen item is defective and cannot be repaired is 8%.

(b) Probability that exactly 2 of 20 randomly chosen items are defective and cannot be repaired is 0.2711.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that of the items manufactured by a certain process, 20% are defective. Of the defective items, 60% can be repaired.

Let Probability that item are defective = P(D) = 0.20

Also, R = event of item being repaired

Probability of items being repaired from the given defective items = P(R/D) = 0.60

So, Probability of items not being repaired from the given defective items = P(R'/D) = 1 - P(R/D) = 1 - 0.60 = 0.40

(a) Probability that a randomly chosen item is defective and cannot be repaired = Probability of items being defective $\times$ Probability of items not being repaired from the given defective items

= 0.20 $\times$ 0.40 = 0.08 or 8%

So, probability that a randomly chosen item is defective and cannot be repaired is 8%.

(b) Now we have to find the probability that exactly 2 of 20 randomly chosen items are defective and cannot be repaired.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

$P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 20 items

r = number of success = exactly 2

p = probability of success which in our question is % of randomly

chosen item to be defective and cannot be repaired, i.e; 8%

LET X = Number of items that are defective and cannot be repaired

So, it means X ~ $Binom(n=20, p=0.08)$

Now, Probability that exactly 2 of 20 randomly chosen items are defective and cannot be repaired is given by = P(X = 2)

P(X = 2) = $\binom{20}{2} \times 0.08^{2} \times (1-0.08)^{20-2}$

= $190 \times 0.08^{2} \times 0.92^{18}$

= 0.2711

Therefore, probability that exactly 2 of 20 randomly chosen items are defective and cannot be repaired is 0.2711.

The time to complete the construction of a soapbox derby car is normally distributed with a mean of three hours and a standard d

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

0% probability that it would take exactly 3.7 hours to construct a soapbox derby car

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Also, the probability of finding an exact value in the normal probability distribution is 0.

0% probability that it would take exactly 3.7 hours to construct a soapbox derby car
