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.

I have no idea what im doing
omeli [17]

Answer:

  • x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

A hole is an input value that makes both numerator and denominator equal to zero.

<u>Let's factorize the numerator and denominator:</u>

  • 3x² - 108 = 3(x² - 36) = 3(x + 6)(x - 6)
  • x² + 2x - 24 = x² + 6x - 4x - 24 = x(x + 6) - 4(x + 6) = (x - 4)(x + 6)

<u>We have same factor of x + 6:</u>

  • x + 6 = 0
  • x = - 6 is a hole
