A manufactured lot of buggy whips has 20 items, of which 5 are defective. A random sample of 5 items is chosen to be inspected.

Find the probability that the sample contains exactly one defective item (a) if the sampling is done with replacement. (b) if the sampling is done without replacement.

Answer:

a. 39.55%

b. 44.02%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

n = 5

x = 1

p = 5/20 = 0.25

to. If the sampling is done with replacement.

We apply the binomial distribution formula, which is as follows:

P = nCx * (p ^ x) * ((1-p) ^ (n-x))

Where nCx, is a combination, and is equal to:

nCx = n! / x! * (n-x)!

replacing we have:

5C1 = 5! / 1! * 4! = 5

replacing in the main formula:

P = 5 * (0.25 ^ 1) * ((1- 0.25) ^ (5-1))

P = 0.3955

that is, without replacing the probability is 39.55%

b. if the sampling is done without replacement.

Here it is a little different from the previous one, but what you should do is calculate three cases,

the first was the one at point a, when n = 5 and x = 1

5C1 = 5! / 1! * 4! = 5

the second is when n = 20 and x = 5, this is all possible scenarios.

20C5 = 20! / 5! * 15! = 15504

and the third is when n = 15 (20-5) and x = 4 (5-1), which corresponds to the cases when none were damaged

15C4 = 15! / 4! * 11! = 1365

In the end, it would be:

P = (5C1 * 15C4) / 20C5

Replacing:

P = 5 * 1365/15504

P = 0.4402

Which means that without replacing the probability is 44.02%

A group of college students are going to a lake house for the weekend and plan on renting small cars and large cars to make the
Alexus [3.1K]

4x+6y=56 and y=4x can be used to determine the number of small cars rented and the number of large cars rented, where x represents number of small cars and y represents number of large cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people hold by small cars = 4

Number of people hold by large cars = 6

Let,

Number of small cars = x

Number of large cars = y

The students rented 4 times as many large cars as small cars,

y = 4x    Eqn 1

which altogether can hold 56 people.

4x+6y=56   Eqn 2

4x+6y=56 and y=4x can be used to determine the number of small cars rented and the number of large cars rented, where x represents number of small cars and y represents number of large cars.

arlik [135]

Try this solution:

1. m∠A=m∠L; m∠B=m∠M and m∠C=m∠N;

2. m∠B=m∠M=35° and m∠C=m∠N=95°;

3. m∠A=m∠L=180°-(m∠B+m∠C)=180-35-95=50°

answer: 50°
