Suppose that 80% of all trucks undergoing a brake inspection at a certain inspection facility pass the inspection. Consider grou

ps of 16 trucks and let X be the number of trucks in a group that have passed the inspection. What is the probability that at least 9 but fewer than 12 trucks pass the inspection?

Answer:

P=0.147

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know 80% of the trucks have good brakes. That means that probability the 1 randomly selected truck has good brakes is P(good brakes)=0.8 . So the probability that 1 randomly selected truck has bad brakes Q(bad brakes)=1-0.8-0.2

We have to find the probability, that at least 9 trucks from 16 have good brakes, however fewer than 12 trucks from 16 have good brakes. That actually means the the number of trucks with good brakes has to be 9, 10 or 11 trucks from 16.

We have to find the probability of each event (9, 10 or 11 trucks from 16 will pass the inspection) .  To find the required probability 3 mentioned probabilitie have to be summarized.

So P(9/16 )=  C16 9 * P(good brakes)^9*Q(bad brakes)^7

P(9/16 )= 16!/9!/7!*0.8^9*0.2^7= 11*13*5*16*0.8^9*0.2^7=approx 0.02

P(10/16)=16!/10!/6!*0.8^10*0.2^6=11*13*7*0.8^10*0.2^6=approx 0.007

P(11/16)=16!/11!/5!*0.8^11*0.2^5=13*21*16*0.8^11*0.2^5=approx 0.12

P(9≤x<12)=P(9/16)+P(10/16)+P(11/16)=0.02+0.007+0.12=0.147

Productive use of machinery on a farm made it possible to decrease the number of tractors by 12. How many tractors does the farm
frez [133]
1. the answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y, which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer. 

2. once again, create an equation. let's call team 1 x and team 2 y. team one has 1/4th as many as team 2, so that would be x=1/4y. An easier way to write that is 4x=y. after 6 people quit team two, that would be y-6. after the transfer, that would be y-6-12, and x+12 for the teams. they are equal after these, so y-6-12=x+12. solve this equation to get y-18= x+12. if you recall earlier, y was 4 times x, so substitute that into y to get 4x-18=x+12. Solve the equation to get 10 people on team one originally. your final answer is 10 people.

You throw a ball up and its height h can be tracked using the equation h=2x^2-12x+20.
postnew [5]

<em><u>This problem seems to be wrong because no minimum point was found and no point of landing exists</u></em>

Answer:

1) There is no maximum height

2) The ball will never land

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Derivatives</u>

Sometimes we need to find the maximum or minimum value of a function in a given interval. The derivative is a very handy tool for this task. We only have to compute the first derivative f' and have it equal to 0. That will give us the critical points.

Then, compute the second derivative f'' and evaluate the critical points in there. The criteria establish that

If f''(a) is positive, then x=a is a minimum

If f''(a) is negative, then x=a is a maximum

1)

The function provided in the question is

h(x)=2x^2-12x+20

Let's find the first derivative

h'(x)=4x-12

solving h'=0:

4x-12=0

x=3

Computing h''

h''(x)=4

It means that no matter the value of x, the second derivative is always positive, so x=3 is a minimum. The function doesn't have a local maximum or the ball will never reach a maximum height

2)

To find when will the ball land, we set h=0

2x^2-12x+20=0

Simplifying by 2

x^2-6x+10=0

Completing squares

x^2-6x+9+10-9=0

Factoring and rearranging

(x-3)^2=-1

There is no real value of x to solve the above equation, so the ball will never land.

This problem seems to be wrong because no minimum point was found and no point of landing exists
