A machine that manufactures automobile pistons is estimated to produce a defective piston 1% of the time. Suppose that this esti

mate is correct and that a random sample of 90 pistons produced by this machine is taken. Estimate the number of pistons in the sample that are defective by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of the relevant random variable). Do not round your response. Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution. Round your response to at least three decimal places.

Answer:

Mean: 0.9 pistons

Standard deviation: 0.944 pistons

Step-by-step explanation:

Either a piston is defective, or it is not. This means that for either piston, there can only be two outcomes. This means that we can solve this problem by the binomial distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and each trial can only have two outcomes, with probabilities \pi and 1 - \pi.

For an experiment with n repeated trials and a probability of success \pi, we have that:

The mean is: \mu_{x} = n*\pi

The standard deviation is: \sigma_{x} = \sqrt{n*\pi*(1-\pi)}

In this problem

There are 90 pistons, so n = 90.

There is a 1% probability that a piston is defective, so \pi = 0.01.

Estimate the number of pistons in the sample that are defective by giving the mean of the relevant distribution:

\mu_{x} = n*\pi = 90(0.01) = 0.9

Quantify the uncertainty of your estimate by giving the standard deviation of the distribution.

\sigma_{x} = \sqrt{n*\pi*(1-\pi)} = 0.944

Hi there

3(p + q) = q
Solve for P

Use the distributive property
(3)(p) + (3)(q) = q
3p + 3q = q
3p = q-3q
3p = -2q
p = -2q/3

The answer is D

Bond [772]

If Sixty-five randomly selected car salespersons were asked the number of cars they generally sell in one week. Then the mean of the sample is 3.75.

<h3>What is Mean?</h3>

The average of a group of numbers is simply defined as the mean. In statistics, the mean is regarded as one of the indicators of central tendency.

Sixty-five randomly selected car salespersons were asked the number of cars they generally sell in one week.

Fourteen people answered that they generally sell two cars; nineteen generally sell three cars; twelve generally sell four cars; nine generally sell five cars; eleven generally sell six cars.

Then the mean of the sample will be

\rm Mean = \dfrac{1}{N} \times \Sigma _{i}   \ \ x_if_i

Then the table is given below.

Then we have

\rm Mean = \dfrac{1}{65} \times (244)\\\\\\Mean = 3.7538\\\\Mean \approx 3.75

More about the mean link is given below.
