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

To answer this since the discount is 15% the retail is 75% so you would put it in a ratio or part over whole so .75=2210 and 100%=x so then you would divide 2210 by .75 and you get 2946 but I’m not sure so...

An additive inverse of a number (x) is a number which when added to x results in being 0.

The given problem is -3 - (-6)

The additive inverse of -6 is 6

-3 -(-6) = -3 + 6 = 3

Communities property: 6-3 = 3

The answer is:

Because -3+6 is an equivalent expression, the answer is 3
