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

The current in a stream moves at a rate of 7 mph. If a boat travels 98 miles downstream in the same time that it takes to travel
JulijaS [17]

If the current in a stream moves at a rate of 7 mph. If a boat travels 98 miles downstream in the same time that it takes to travel 49 miles upstream then the speed of the boat in still water is 21 miles per hour.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the distance covered by an object in a certain time period. It is also known as velocity. The formula of speed is as follows:

Speed=Distance/ Time.

<h3>How to calculate speed?</h3>

We have been given that the speed of stream is 7miles per hour.

Let v be the speed of the boat, and t the time to travel

98=t*(7+v) (1)

49=t(v-7) (2)

(1)+(2) => 2tv=147

7t+(49+7t)=98

14t+49=98

14t=49

t=49/14

t=7/2

Put the value of t in equation 1 to get the value of v:

98=t(7+v)

98=7/2(7+v)

196/7=7+v

28=7+v

v=28-7

v=21

Hence if the current in a stream moves at a rate of 7 mph. If a boat travels 98 miles downstream in the same time that it takes to travel 49 miles upstream then the speed of the boat in still water is 21 miles per hour.

Segment AB falls on line 2x − 4y = 8. Segment CD falls on line 4x + 2y = 8. What is true about segments AB and CD? They are perp
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

They are perpendicular because they have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of −2 and one half.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because x = -2 and half of -2 is 1

when we use CD line and x2 we find 8x+4y=16 when added to 2x -4y=8 would equal 10x+4y = 2 1/2 xy = 16

When we use for AB line we see they are perpendicular 2 1/2 x 2 = 5 -4y = 8 shows y to be -2 and the 1/2 line leaves -2 1/2 and x also is 2 1/2.
