Answer:

mean=4.44

standard deviation=1.67

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean and standard deviation for the number of erroneous returns per batch can be calculated using binomial distribution. The binomial distribution is used because

i) There are one of two possible outcomes( error or no error) that can be categorized into success and failure.

ii) The experiment is repeated fix number of times 12.

iii) The probability of success remains constant at each trial i.e. 37%

iv) The trails are independent.The mean and standard deviation of binomial distribution are np and √npq

Here, n=12, p=0.37 and q=1-0.37=0.63

mean=12*0.37=4.44

standard deviation=√12*0.37*0.63=√2.8=1.67

Divide (15x^2+x-8)/(3x-1)
blondinia [14]
<span>Simplifying -15x2 + -2x + 8 = 0
 Reorder the terms: 8 + -2x + -15x2 = 0 Solving 8 + -2x + -15x2 = 0 Solving for variable 'x'.
 Factor a trinomial. (2 + -3x)(4 + 5x) = 0 Subproblem 1Set the factor '(2 + -3x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
 Simplifying 2 + -3x = 0 Solving 2 + -3x = 0
 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + -3x = 0 + -2
 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + -3x = 0 + -2 -3x = 0 + -2
 Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 -3x = -2
 Divide each side by '-3'. x = 0.6666666667
 Simplifying x = 0.6666666667
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + 5x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
 Simplifying 4 + 5x = 0
 Solving 4 + 5x = 0
 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
 Add '-4' to each side of the equation. 4 + -4 + 5x = 0 + -4
 Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0 0 + 5x = 0 + -4 5x = 0 + -4
 Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4 5x = -4
 Divide each side by '5'. x = -0.8 Simplifying x = -0.8
Solutionx = {0.6666666667, -0.8}</span>
