1. (Sec. 6.1) In a random sample of 80 components of a certain type, 12 are found to be defective. (a) Give a point estimate for

the proportion of all such components that are not defective. (b) A system is to be constructed by randomly selecting two of these components and connecting them in a series. The series will function only if neither component is defective. Give an estimate for the proportion of all such systems that will function properly.

Answer:

(a) 0.85

(b) 0.7225

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The point estimate for the proportion of all such components that are not defective is given by the number of non-defective units in the sample divided by the sample size:

p=\frac{80-12}{80}\\p=0.85

The proportion is 0.85.

(b) Assuming that the sample is large enough to accurately provide a point estimate for the whole population, this can be treated as a binomial model with probability of success (non-defective part) p = 0.85. Since both components must be non-defective for the system to work, the probability of two successes in two trials is:

P(x=2) = 0.85^2\\P(x=2) = 0.7225

An estimate of 0.7225 for the proportion of all such systems that will function properly.

Solving Quadratic Equations using the Square Root Property
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

x = -2   or   x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to complete the square before you can take the square root of both sides.

x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0

Subtract 10 from both sides.

x^2 + 7x = -10

To complete the square, you need to add the square of half of the x-term coefficient to both sides.

The x-term coefficient is 7. Half of that is 7/2. Square it to get 49/4. Now we add 49/4 to both sides of the equation.

x^2 + 7x + \dfrac{49}{4} = -10 + \dfrac{49}{4}

(x + \dfrac{7}{2})^2 = -\dfrac{40}{4} + \dfrac{49}{4}

(x + \dfrac{7}{2})^2 = \dfrac{9}{4}

Now we use the square root property, if

x^2 = k, then

x = \pm \sqrt{k}

x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac{9}{4}}

x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \pm \dfrac{3}{2}

x + \dfrac{7}{2} = \dfrac{3}{2}   or   x + \dfrac{7}{2} = -\dfrac{3}{2}

x = -\dfrac{4}{2}   or   x = -\dfrac{10}{2}

x = -2   or   x = -5
