A manufacturer of computer printers purchases plastic ink cartridges from a vendor. When a large shipment is received, a random

sample of 200 cartridges is selected, and each cartridge is inspected. If the sample proportion of defective cartridges is more than 0.02, the entire shipment is returned to the vendor. What is the approximate probability that a shipment will be returned if the true proportion of defective cartridges in the shipment is 0.05

Answer:

97.4% probability

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is only two possible outcome of inspecting the catridge : either defective or not, we can solve the problem using the binomial probability distribution (approximated to normal).

To approximate the binomial probability to normal, we find the expected value and the standard deviation of the probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials with p probability

Expected values E(X) = np

Standard deviation √V(X) = √np(1-p)

using the z-score formula (X - μ)/σ, we can solve normally distributed problem.

Where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation. The Z-score is is the measure of how much a sample is from the mean. The p-value associated with this z-score which is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X can be checked on the z-score table.

FOR THIS QUESTION,

a random sample of 200 cartridges is selected

n = 200

Therefore If there are more than 0.02 × 200 = 4 defective, the sample will be returned.

To determine the approximate probability that a shipment will be returned if the true proportion of defective cartridges in the shipment is 0.05

μ = E(X)

= 0.05 × 200 = 10

σ = √V(X) = √np(1-p)

= √200 × 0.05 × 0.95

= 3.08

This probability is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X =4

Z = (X - μ)/σ

Z= (4 - 10)/3.08

Z = -1.95

Z = -1.95 has a P-value of 0.026 (on the z-score table)

This means that there is a 1 - 0.026 = 0.974

= 97.4% probability that a shipment will be returned if the true proportion of defective cartridges in the shipment is 0.05.

enot [183]

Answer:

y=-6x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

8 is the miles she has she runs 6 miles so she has 2 miles left that's why when we put it in slope intercept forms it's going to be

y=-6x+8

The seventh grade choir sold pizzas as a fundraiser. The choir teacher created the graph below for the students.
frez [133]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to find the profit for every pizza sold. Since looking at the x axis, the point in which its x coordinate is 1 cannot be easily identified. Thus, we shall derive the answer using a point that can be easily identified.

We observe that the two points, (10,12) and (20,24) sits nicely on the graph. I will be using the first coordinate above to derive the answer.

For every 10 pizzas sold, $12 of profit is made.

10 pizzas ----- $12 profit

1 pizza ----- $12 ÷10= $1.20

Hence, the unit rate of profit for the pizzas is $1.20 per pizza.

What is the explicit rule for this geometric sequence? a1=-15;an=1/5•an-1
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

a_n =-15 (\frac{1}{5})^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: a_1 = -15 ; a_n = \frac{1}{5} \cdot a_{n-1}

for n = 2

a_2 = \frac{1}{5} \cdot a_{2-1} = \frac{1}{5}\cdot a_1 = \frac{1}{5} \cdot (-15)

for n =3

a_3 = \frac{1}{5} \cdot a_{3-1} = \frac{1}{5} \cdota_2= (\frac{1}{5})^2\cdot (-15)

Simlarly , for n =4

a_3 = \frac{1}{5} \cdot a_{4-1} = \frac{1}{5}\cdot a_3= (\frac{1}{5})^3\cdot (-15)

and so on...

Common ratio(r) states that for a geometric sequence or geometric series, the common ratio is the ratio of a term to the previous term.

we have;   r = \frac{a_2}{a_1} = \frac{1}{5}

Now; by recursive formula for geometric series:

a_n = a_1 r^{n-1}

where a_1 is the first term and r is the common ratio:

Substitute the value of a_1 = -15  and  r = \frac{1}{5}

we have;

a_n =-15 (\frac{1}{5})^{n-1}

therefore, the explicit rule for the geometric sequence is; a_n =-15 (\frac{1}{5})^{n-1}
