The number of surface flaws in plastic panels used in the interior of automobiles has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.08

flaws per square foot of plastic panel. Assume an automobile interior contains 10 square feet of plastic panel. (a) What is the probability that there are no surface flaws in an auto's interior? (b) If 10 cars are sold to a rental company, what is the probability that none of the 10 cars has any surface flaws? (c) If 10 cars are sold to a rental company, what is the probability that at most 1 car has any surface flaws?

Answer:

a) 44.93% probability that there are no surface flaws in an auto's interior

b) 0.03% probability that none of the 10 cars has any surface flaws

c) 0.44% probability that at most 1 car has any surface flaws

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the Poisson and the binomial probability distributions.

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given interval.

Binomial distribution:

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.08 flaws per square foot of plastic panel. Assume an automobile interior contains 10 square feet of plastic panel.

So \mu = 10*0.08 = 0.8

(a) What is the probability that there are no surface flaws in an auto's interior?

Single car, so Poisson distribution. This is P(X = 0).

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.4493

44.93% probability that there are no surface flaws in an auto's interior

(b) If 10 cars are sold to a rental company, what is the probability that none of the 10 cars has any surface flaws?

For each car, there is a p = 0.4493 probability of having no surface flaws. 10 cars, so n = 10. This is P(X = 10), binomial, since there are multiple cars and each of them has the same probability of not having a surface defect.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.4493)^{10}.(0.5507)^{0} = 0.0003

0.03% probability that none of the 10 cars has any surface flaws

(c) If 10 cars are sold to a rental company, what is the probability that at most 1 car has any surface flaws?

At least 9 cars without surface flaws. So

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.4493)^{9}.(0.5507)^{1} = 0.0041

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.4493)^{10}.(0.5507)^{0} = 0.0003

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.0041 + 0.0003 = 0.0044

0.44% probability that at most 1 car has any surface flaws

A=4ℼR2 solve for R<br> SHOW ALL STEPSSSSSSSSSSSSS
GuDViN [60]

Given problem;

  A  = 4 π R²

  To solve for R, we have to make it the subject of the expression.

Since

      A  = 4 π R² , follow these steps to find R;

    Multiply both sides by \frac{1}{4\pi }  

 A x \frac{1}{4\pi }  =  \frac{1}{4\pi } x 4 π R²

          \frac{A}{4\pi }   = R²

Then find the square root of both sides

        √R²  = \sqrt{\frac{A}{4\pi } }  

            R  = \sqrt{\frac{A}{4\pi } }

The solution is \sqrt{\frac{A}{4\pi } }

find two consecutive odd integers whose product is 1 less than 6 times their sum. Domain for the smallest : {-1, 1, 11}
inn [45]
Let x be the 1st odd number, and x+2 the second odd consecutive number:

(x)(x + 2) = 6[((x) + (x+2)] -1
x² + 2x = 6(2x + 2) - 1

x² + 2x = 12x +12 - 1
And x² - 10x - 11=0

Solve this quadratic expression:

x' = [+10 +√(10²- 4.(1)(-11)]/2  and x" = [+10 -√(10²- 4.(1)(-11)]/2

x' = [10 + √144]/2      and  x" = [10 - √64]/2

x' = (10+12)/2    and x" = (10-12)/2

x = 11 and x = -1

We have 2 solutions that satisfy the problem:

1st for x = 11, the numbers at 11 and 13
2nd for x = - 1 , the numbers are -1 and +1
If you plug each one in the original equation :(x)(x + 2) = 6[((x) + (x+2)] -1
you will find that both generates an equlity
