Question has missing details

One of the assumptions underlying the theory of control charting (see Chapter 16) is that successive plotted points are independent of one another. Each plotted point can signal either that a manufacturing process is operating correctly or that there is some sort of malfunction. Even when a process is running correctly, there is a small probability that a particular point will signal a problem with the process. Suppose that this probability is 0.05. What is the probability that at least one of 10 successive points indicates a problem when in fact the process is operating correctly?

Answer:

The probability that at least one of 10 successive points indicates a problem when in fact the process is operating is 0.4013

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let P = Probability that a point signals an error incorrectly = 0.05

Let Q = Probability that a point signals an error correctly

P + Q = 1 ---- Make Q the subject of formula

Q = 1 - P where P = 0.05

So, Q = 1 - P becomes

Q = 1 - 0.05

Q= 0.95

Solving for the probability that at least one of 10 successive points indicates a problem when in fact the process is operating.

If two events (P and Q) are independent

Then

P(P n Q) = P(P) * P(Q)

From De Morgan law;

P(P u Q) = 1 - P(P' n Q')

Where P(P u Q) represent the probability that at least one of 10 successive points

P(P' n Q') is calculated as follows;

P(P' n Q') = 0.95^10

P(P' n Q') = 0.59873693923837890625

So,

P(P u Q) = 1 - P(P' n Q') becomes

P(P u Q) = 1 - 0.59873693923837890625

P(P u Q) = 0.40126306076162109375

P(P u Q) = 0.4013 ----- Approximated

The probability that at least one of 10 successive points indicates a problem when in fact the process is operating is 0.4013

2z -5(z +2) = -8 - 2z<br><br> Please explain!! Thank you
Korolek [52]

Follow PEMDAS.

You would first do your distributive property which is, -5(z+2). You would multiply -5 to z and -5 to 2 which will give you -5z + -10.

so now you have 2z-5z+ -10= -8 - 2z. Now you must isolate the variable. So subtract -8 to -10 which will give you -18.

Now you have the equation 2z-5z-18=-2z

Now combine like terms. 2z-5z= -3z

Now you have the equation -3z-18=-2z

Now you must move the -3z to the other side of the equal sign by adding the opposite which is +3z to -2z which will give you +1z

Now you have -18= 1z

Now you divide. -18 divided by 1 is -18.

So your final answer will be -18=z

Solve the following question
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

they are 16 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can call the numbers x and y and we can write:

x - y = 12

x + y = 20

Adding these equations gives us 2x = 32 which means x = 16 and substituting this value into the first equation gives us y = 4.
