You have been hired as the quality control office of a pharmaceutical company that manufactures aspirin tablets. According to th

e quality assurance protocol, your job is to do the following. For each shipment of possibly thousands and thousands of aspirin tablets, randomly select and test 24 tablets, then accept the batch if there is only one or no tablet that doesn’t meet the test specification. If, at the pharmaceutical company, the probability that randomly selected tablet is defective is .04, what is the probability that a randomly selected shipment of 24 tablets will be accepted?

Answer:

P(X=0)=(24C0)(0.04)^0 (1-0.04)^{24-0}=0.375413  

P(X=1)=(24C1)(0.04)^1 (1-0.04)^{24-1}=0.  

So then the probability that the batch would be accepeted is:

0.375413+0.375413=0.7508

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:

X \sim Binom(n=24, p=0.04)

On this case p=0.04 represent the probability that a random the tablet would be NOT accepted

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}

They accept the batch if there is only one or no tablet that doesn’t meet the test specification, so let's find the individual probabilities for this case:

P(X=0)=(24C0)(0.04)^0 (1-0.04)^{24-0}=0.375413  

P(X=1)=(24C1)(0.04)^1 (1-0.04)^{24-1}=0.  

So then the probability that the batch would be accepeted is:

0.375413+0.375413=0.7508

Answer:

\boxed{-10000}

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x)=\frac{1}{x}

Let x = -10000

F(-10000)=\frac{1}{-10000}

F(-10000)= -0.0001

-0.0001 is closest to 0 when x value is -10000.

No other value can work from the other options, options B and C increase the value from 0. Option D would make the function undefined.

A cyclist travels at an average speed of 13 mph for 3 hours.<br> How far did she travel in miles?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

39 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a cyclist travelled at an average rate of 13 miles per hour for 3 hours and are asked to how far she travelled in miles.

To solve, we need to take into mind that for three hours, the cyclist drove 13 miles per hour.

Meaning that for every hour, 13 miles were driven.

Therefore we need to multiply 13 by 3 to get our answer :

13 miles * 3hrs

39 miles

What is the birthday polynomial for 10/1/2006
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Simplified version: 10x^5 - 1x^4 + 2x^3 - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since your birthday is 10/1/2006 we can use 1012006 as our digits.

We can make a random polynomial: 10x^5 - 1x^4 + 2x^3 + 0 x^2 + 0x - 6

(since  0 are meaningless we can simply this further into the below equation)

10x^5 - 1x^4 + 2x^3 - 6
