Answer:
a) 0.0287 = 2.87% probability that three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.
b) 0.0336 = 3.36% probability that 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.
Step-by-step explanation:
A sequence of Bernoulli trials composes the binomial distribution.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
The probability that a selected component is non-defective is 0.8
This means that
a) Three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.
This is P(X = 3) when n = 7. So
0.0287 = 2.87% probability that three non-defective components in a batch of seven components.
b) 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.
Now the order is important, so the we just multiply the probabilities.
8 non-defective, each with probability 0.8, and then a defective, with probability 0.2. So
0.0336 = 3.36% probability that 8 non-defective components are drawn before the first defective component is chosen.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a third degree polynomial since we have 3 zeros. We find these zeros by factoring the given polynomial. The zeros of a polynomial are where the graph of the function goes through the x-axis (where y = 0). If x = -4, the factor that gives us this value is (x + 4) = 0 and solving that for x, we get x = -4. If x = -2, the factor that gives us that value is (x + 2) = 0 and solving that for x, we get x = -2. Same for the 5. The way we find the polynomial that gave us these zeros is to go backwards from the factors and FOIL them out. That means that we need to find the product of
(x + 4)(x + 2)(x - 5). Do the first 2 terms, then multiply in the third.
, which simplifies to
No we multiply in the final factor of (x - 5):
which simplifies to
If you are aware of the method for factoring higher degree polymomials, which is to use the Rational Root Theorem and synthetic division, you will see that this factors to x = -4, -2, 5. If you know how to use your calculator, you will find the same zeros in your solving polynomials function in your apps.
