A group of four components is known to contain two defectives. An inspector tests the components one at a time until the two def

ectives are located. Once she locates the two defectives, she stops testing, but the second defective is tested to ensure accuracy. Let Y denote the number of the test on which the second defective is found. Find the probability distribution for Y.

Answer:

when Y = 2, P(2) = 1/6 = 0.167

when Y = 3, P(3) = 2/6 = 0.333

when Y = 4, P(4) = 3/6 = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of possible ways to choose 2 components for defectives out of 4 components = 4C2 = 6

Y can only take values of 2, 3 and 4

So, Probability of Y = P(Y) = 1C(Y-1) / 6

when Y = 2, P(2) = 1/6 = 0.167

when Y = 3, P(3) = 2/6 = 0.333

when Y = 4, P(4) = 3/6 = 0.5

barxatty [35]
Yes, the cost is proportional to the number of water bottles sold. 6 water bottles/$4.00 = 1.5 and 15 water bottles/$10.00 = 1.5.

Can you figure out the formula
puteri [66]

If "a" and "b" are two values of x-coordinate, and "m" is the midpoint between them, it means the distance from one end to the midpoint is the same as the distance from the midpoint to the other end

... a-m = m-b

When we add m+b to this equation, we get

... a+b = 2m

Solving for m gives

... m = (a+b)/2

This applies to y-coordinates as well. So ...

... The midpoint between (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is ((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)

_____

Jennifer had (x1, y1) = (-4, 10) and (x2, y2) = (-2, 6). So her calculation would be

... midpoint = ((-4-2)/2, (10+6)/2) = (-6/2, 16/2) = (-3, 8)

Brandon had (x1, y1) = (9, -4) and (x2, y2) = (-12, 8). So his calculation would be

... midpoint = ((9-12)/2, (-4+8)/2) = (-3/2, 4/2) = (-1.5, 2)
