A manufacturer of a consumer electronics products expects 3% of units to fail during the warranty period. A sample of 500 indepe

ndent units is tracked for warranty performance. (a) What is the probability that none fail during the warranty period? (b) What is the expected number of failures during the warranty period? (c) What is the probability that more than 2 units fail during the warranty period?

Answer: a) 0.0000002, b) 15, c) 0.99996.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 500

p = 3% = 0.03

q = 1-0.03 = 0.97

So, we will use "Binomial distribution".

(a) What is the probability that none fail during the warranty period?

$P(X=0)=^{500}C_0(0.03)^0(0.97)^{500}=0.0000002$

(b) What is the expected number of failures during the warranty period?

$E(X)=np=500\times 0.03=15$

(c) What is the probability that more than 2 units fail during the warranty period?

$P(X>2)=1-\sum _{x=0}^2P(X=x)=0.99996$

Hence, a) 0.0000002, b) 15, c) 0.99996.

Consider the equation: 12x=13-x^212x=13−x 2 12, x, equals, 13, minus, x, squared 1) Rewrite the equation by completing the squar

Flauer [41]

Answer:

$(x + 6)^2 = 49$

$x = 1$ or $x = -13$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$12x = 13 - x^2$

Using Completing the Square

$12x = 13 - x^2$ ---- Add $x^2$ to both sides

$x^2 + 12x = 13 - x^2 + x^2$

$x^2 + 12x = 13$

Divide the coefficient of x by 2; then add the square to both sides

$x^2 + 12x + 6^2 = 13 + 6^2$

$x^2 + 12x + 36 = 13 + 36$

$x^2 + 12x + 36 = 49$

Factorize

$x^2 + 6x + 6x + 36 = 49$

$x(x + 6) + 6(x + 6) = 49$

$(x + 6)(x + 6) = 49$

$(x + 6)^2 = 49$

Hence, the equation is $(x + 6)^2 = 49$

Solving further

Take square root of both sides

$(x + 6) = \sqrt{49}$

$x + 6 = \±7$

$x = \±7- 6$

This implies that

$x = 7 - 6$ or $x = -7 -6$

$x = 1$ or $x = -13$

HEnce, the solutions are $x = 1$ or $x = -13$

PLEASE PLEASE HELP! QUICKLY!

Oksanka [162]

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

m∠3 = 128°

m∠3 = m∠7---------------- > Corresponding Angles

180°=m∠7+m∠8---------- > Supplementary Angles

therefore

m∠8=180°-128°=52°

the answer is the m∠8 is 52°

Question is shown in picture

konstantin123 [22]

To solve either part of this problem, you first need to find the slope of the line. You can do this using the slope formula $\frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{x_{2}- x_{1} }$ . In this problem, y2=2, y1=7, x2=1, and x1=-4. Plug those values into the slope formula to find the slope.

$\frac{2-7}{1--4}= \frac{-5}{5} =-1$

The slope of the line is -1.

For the first part of the question, you need to create the point-slope equation. Point-slope equations follow the model (y-y)=m(x-x), where m is the slope and x and y are coordinates.

We know the slope is -1. To find the coordinates, take x and y from one of the ordered pairs (it doesn't matter which, but you cannot take x from the first one and y from the second). We'll use the first one: (-4, 7).

The point-slope equation is (y-7)=-1(x+4).

The x is "plus" because the coordinate is negative, and subtracting a negative number is the same as addition.

To find the slope-intercept form, you can use the point-slope equation and solve for y. Start by distributing the -1. The equation becomes:

y-7=-x-4

Next, add 7 to both sides. It becomes:

y=-x+3

Slope-intercept form follows the model, y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the intercept. y=-x+3 matches this model because -1 is the slope and 3 is the intercept.

The slope-intercept equation is y=-x+3.

Hope this helps and makes sense!
