Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a

We need two inequalities, one for time worked at each job and the other

for amounts of money earned.

time:  Let b and c represent the time (number of hours) worked at babysitting and landscaping respectively.  Then b + c ≤ 20 hrs/wk

earnings:  Let ($3/hr)(b) represents the amount of money earned babysitting for b hour.  Let  ($7/hr)(c) represent the money earned working at landscaping.  These amounts are <em>per week</em>.  The appropriate inequality is  ($3/hr)(b) +  ($7/hr)(c) ≥ $84 per week.  The other inequality is

b + c ≤ 20 hrs/wk.

Part b:

As before, b + c ≤ 20 hrs/wk.  What happens if Chet spends all his 20 hours babysitting?  To answer this, set c = 0 (no landscaping hours).  Then b ≤ 20 hours.  At $3/hr, he could earn only $60 and have no time left for landscaping.  Not good.

Let's experiment:  suppose he works 15 hours babysitting and 5 hours landscaping.  His earnings would be $45 + $35, or $80.  Still not enough; he wants to earn $84 total.    Let's redistribute his time and try again:  suppose he works 14 hours babysitting and 6 hours landscaping; his earnings would be $42 + $42, or $84.  So {b = 14 hours and c + 6 hours} is a solution.  As we continue to reduce the number of hours Chet works babysitting and correspondingly increase those he works landscaping, his earnings will go up, beyond $84.

Here's a table that summarizes this:

babysitting          landscaping    total amount

  hours                   hours               earned

      15                          5                      $60 (not acceptable)

       14                         6                       $84 (borderline acceptable)

       12                          8                       $36 + $42 = $78 (great)

        6                          14                       $116 (greater still)

         2                          18                     $132

          1                           19                      $134

          0                          20                      $140

Summary:  Chet can work anywhere from 0 to 14 hours babysitting and expect to earn $84 or more.

Components of a certain type are shipped to a supplier in batches of ten. Suppose that 50% of all such batches contain no defect
ad-work [718]

Answer:

a) P (0 defective component) = 0.5

   P( 1 defective component ) = 0.35

    P( 2 defective component ) = 0.15

b) P( 0 ) = 0

   p ( 1 ) =  1

   p ( 2 ) = 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

p( no defective ) = 0.5

p( 1 is defective ) = 0.35

p( 2 is defective ) = 0.15

Given that 2 components are selected at random

<u>a) Given that neither component is defective </u>

Probability of 0 defective component = 0.5

P( 1 defective component ) = 0.35

P( 2 defective component ) = 0.15

<u>b) Given that one of the two tested component is defective </u>

P( 0 defective ) = 0

P( 1 defective ) = P ( \frac{x=1}{x\geq 1} ) = p( x = 1 ) / 1 - P ( x = 0 )

                                        = ( 0.5 )^1 ( 0.5 )^0 /  1 - ( 0.5)^0 (0.5)^1

                                        = 0.5 * 1 / 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 / 0.5 =  1

p ( 2 defective ) = p( x = 3 ) / 1 - P ( x = 0 )

                         = ( 0.5 )^2 ( 0.5 )^0 /  1 - ( 0.5)^0 (0.5)^2

                         = 0.25 / 0.75 = 0.33
