Answer:

5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 19 + 1/4x =40

2. 1/4x=40-19

3. 1/4x=21

4. x= 21/1/4

5. x= 5.25

84. Subtract 19 from 40 and multiply that number times the reciprocal of 1/4... which is 4

When circuit boards used in the manufacture of compact disc players are tested, the long-run percentage of defectives is 5%. Let

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

(a) P(X=3) = 0.093

(b) P(X≤3) = 0.966

(c) P(X≥4) = 0.034

(d) P(1≤X≤3) = 0.688

(e) The probability that none of the 25 boards is defective is 0.277.

(f) The expected value and standard deviation of X is 1.25 and 1.089 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that when circuit boards used in the manufacture of compact disc players are tested, the long-run percentage of defectives is 5%.

Let X = the number of defective boards in a random sample of size, n = 25

So, X ∼ Bin(25,0.05)

The probability distribution for the binomial distribution is given by;

$P(X=r)= \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r}\times (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,......$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 25

r = number of success

p = probability of success which in our question is percentage

of defectivs, i.e. 5%

(a) P(X = 3) = $\binom{25}{3} \times 0.05^{3}\times (1-0.05)^{25-3}$

= $2300 \times 0.05^{3}\times 0.95^{22}$

= 0.093

(b) P(X $\leq$ 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

= $\binom{25}{0} \times 0.05^{0}\times (1-0.05)^{25-0}+\binom{25}{1} \times 0.05^{1}\times (1-0.05)^{25-1}+\binom{25}{2} \times 0.05^{2}\times (1-0.05)^{25-2}+\binom{25}{3} \times 0.05^{3}\times (1-0.05)^{25-3}$

= $1 \times 1 \times 0.95^{25}+25 \times 0.05^{1}\times 0.95^{24}+300 \times 0.05^{2}\times 0.95^{23}+2300 \times 0.05^{3}\times 0.95^{22}$

= 0.966

(c) P(X $\geq$ 4) = 1 - P(X < 4) = 1 - P(X $\leq$ 3)

= 1 - 0.966

= 0.034

(d) P(1 ≤ X ≤ 3) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

= $\binom{25}{1} \times 0.05^{1}\times (1-0.05)^{25-1}+\binom{25}{2} \times 0.05^{2}\times (1-0.05)^{25-2}+\binom{25}{3} \times 0.05^{3}\times (1-0.05)^{25-3}$

= $25 \times 0.05^{1}\times 0.95^{24}+300 \times 0.05^{2}\times 0.95^{23}+2300 \times 0.05^{3}\times 0.95^{22}$

= 0.688

(e) The probability that none of the 25 boards is defective is given by = P(X = 0)

P(X = 0) = $\binom{25}{0} \times 0.05^{0}\times (1-0.05)^{25-0}$

= $1 \times 1\times 0.95^{25}$

= 0.277

(f) The expected value of X is given by;

E(X) = $n \times p$

= $25 \times 0.05$ = 1.25

The standard deviation of X is given by;

S.D.(X) = $\sqrt{n \times p \times (1-p)}$

= $\sqrt{25 \times 0.05 \times (1-0.05)}$

= 1.089

5x-3y=-11 x-2y=2 this is for home work please help

ale4655 [162]

5x - 3y = 11 ⇒ 5x - 3y = 11 ⇒ 5x - 3y = 11
x - 2y = 2 ⇒ -5(x - 3y) = 2 ⇒ -5x + 15y = 2
 12y = 13
 12 12
 y = 1 1/12
 5x - 3(1 1/12) = 11
 5x - 3 1/4 = 11

 5x = 14 1/4
