In one method of a procedure called acceptance sampling, a sample of items is randomly selected without replacement and the enti

re batch is accepted if every item in the sample is ok. Among 810 airport baggage scales, 102 are defective (based on data from the NY Department of Consumer Affairs). If four of the scales are randomly selected and tested, what is the probability that the entire bath will be accepted

Answer:

X \sim Hyp (N = 810, M=102, n=4)

P(X=0) = \frac{(102C0)(810-102 C 4-0)}{810C4}  

And solving we got:

P(X=0)= \frac{(102C0) (708C4)}{810C4} = 0.583

So then for the problem given the probability that the entire bath will be accepted (none is defective among the 4) is 0.583

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can model the variable of interest with the hypergeometric distribution. And with the info given we can do this:

X \sim Hyp (N = 810, M=102, n=4)

P(X=k)= \frac{(MCk)(N-M C n-k)}{NCn}  

Where N is the population size, M is the number of success states in the population, n is the number of draws, k is the number of observed successes  

And for this case we want to find the probability that none of the scales selected would be defective so we want to find this:

P(X=0)

And using the probability mass function we got:

P(X=0) = \frac{(102C0)(810-102 C 4-0)}{810C4}  

And solving we got:

P(X=0)= \frac{(102C0) (708C4)}{810C4} = 0.583

So then for the problem given the probability that the entire bath will be accepted (none is defective among the 4) is 0.583

Solve:7 +42-32-32 = 14.3-2a +7<br> A = -3<br> A= 0<br> A= 3<br> no solution
madreJ [45]

Answer:

a = 18.15

Step-by-step explanation:

7+42-32-32=14.3-2a+7

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation first. Add 7 and 42, then subtract 32 from the answer you get, then subtract 32 from that answer. This is going by order of PEMDAS.

Remember PEMDAS: (numbers 3 & 4 and numbers 5 & 6 are solved from left to right)

  1. Parentheses
  2. Exponents
  3. Multiplication
  4. Division
  5. Addition
  6. Subtraction

-15=14.3-2a+7

After combining like terms on the left side, you get -15. Now combine like terms on the right side of the equation by adding 14.3 and 7.

-15=21.3-2a

Get -2a alone by subtracting 21.3 from both sides.

-36.3=-2a

Divide both sides by -2.

a=18.15

In this equation, a should equal \boxed{18.15}.

A triangle has sides of LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{6}1 1 6 inches, LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{3}1 1 3 inches, and LaTeX: 1\frac{2}{3}1 2 3 inches. W
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

4 1/6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has sides of LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{6}1 1 6 inches, LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{3}1 1 3 inches, and LaTeX: 1\frac{2}{3}1 2 3 inches. What is the perimeter of the triangle? Make sure your answer is in simplest form.

Perimeter of Triangle = Side a + Side b + Side c

Perimeter of the Triangle =

( 1 1/6 + 1 1/3 + 1 2/3) inches

Lowest common denominator = 6

= 1 + 1 + 1 +(1/6 + 1/3 + 2/3)

= 3 + (1 + 2 + 4/6)

= 3 + 7/6

= 3 + 1 1/6

= 4 1/6 inches

HELP! WILL GIVE BRAINLEST!The graph below shows an angle in standard position. What is the degree measure of the angle depicted?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

45 degree angle

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the line crossing the middle of quadrant four was on the y-axis, that would be known as a 90 degree angle.  Since it was cut in half, that would become a 45 degree angle.
