Amanda's penny bank is 23 full. After she removes 120 pennies, it is 12 full. How many pennies can Amanda's bank hold?

1 answer:

7 0

So if the bank was 2/3 full, and then after the pennies are removed it is 1/2 full, then the volume taken up by those removed pennies is the difference:
(2/3)-(1/2)=(4/6)-(3/6)=1/6

If there are 120 pennies in 1/6 of the bank's volume, then the total can be found by multiplying 120 by 6 (so that (1/6)*6=1 (the total volume))

120*6=720
You can fit 720 pennies in that bank

Suppose that a box contains 8 cameras and that 4 of them are defective. A sample of 2 cameras is selected at random with replace

Dafna1 [17]

The Expected value of XX is 1.00.

Given that a box contains 8 cameras and that 4 of them are defective and 2 cameras is selected at random with replacement.

The probability distribution of the hypergeometric is as follows:

$P(x,N,n,M)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{l}M\\ x\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{l}N-M\\ n-x\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{l} N\\ n\end{array}\right)}$

Where x is the success in the sample of n trails, N represents the total population, n represents the random sample from the total population and M represents the success in the population.

The probability distribution for X is obtained as below:

From the given information, let X be a random variable, that denotes the number of defective cameras following hypergeometric distribution.

Here, M = 4, n=2 and N=8

The probability distribution of X is obtained below:

The probability distribution of X is,

$P(X=x)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{l}5\\ x\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{l}8-5\\ 2-x\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{l} 8\\ 2\end{array}\right)}$

The probability distribution of X when X=0 is

$\begin{aligned}P(X=0)&=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{l}4\\ 0\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{l}8-4\\ 2-0\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{l} 8\\ 2\end{array}\right)}\\ &=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{l}4\\ 0\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{l}4\\ 2\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{l} 8\\ 2\end{array}\right)}\\ &=\frac{\left[\left(\frac{4!}{(4-0)!0!}\right)\times \left(\frac{4!}{(4-2)!2!}\right)\right]}{\left(\frac{8!}{(8-2)!2!}\right)}\\ &=0.21\end$

The probability distribution of X when X=1 is

$\begin{aligned}P(X=1)&=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{l}4\\ 1\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{l}8-4\\ 2-1\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{l} 8\\ 2\end{array}\right)}\\ &=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{l}4\\ 1\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{l}4\\ 1\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{l} 8\\ 2\end{array}\right)}\\ &=\frac{\left[\left(\frac{4!}{(4-1)!1!}\right)\times \left(\frac{4!}{(4-1)!1!}\right)\right]}{\left(\frac{8!}{(8-2)!2!}\right)}\\ &=0.57\end$

The probability distribution of X when X=2 is

$\begin{aligned}P(X=2)&=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{l}4\\ 2\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{l}8-4\\ 2-2\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{l} 8\\ 2\end{array}\right)}\\ &=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{l}4\\ 2\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{l}4\\ 0\end{array}\right)}{\left(\begin{array}{l} 8\\ 2\end{array}\right)}\\ &=\frac{\left[\left(\frac{4!}{(4-2)!2!}\right)\times \left(\frac{4!}{(4-0)!0!}\right)\right]}{\left(\frac{8!}{(8-2)!2!}\right)}\\ &=0.21\end$

Use E(X)=∑xP(x) to find the expected values of a random variable X.

The expected values of a random variable X is obtained as shown below:

The expected value of X is,

E(X)=∑xP(x-X)

E(X)=[(0×0.21)+(1×0.57)+(2×0.21)]

E(X)=[0+0.57+0.42]

E(X)=0.99≈1

Hence, the binomial probability distribution of XX when X=0 is 0.21, when X=1 is 0.57 and when X=2 is 0.21 and the expected value of XX is 1.00.

What would be the best first step in solving 0.05x + 0.01 = 0.025? Explain.

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it would be to subract 0.01 from 0.025 because you want to get the x by itself
