An instructor who taught two sections of engineering statistics last term, the first with 20 students and the second with 30, de

cided to assign a term project. After all projects had been turned in, the instructor randomly ordered them before grading. Consider the first 15 graded projects. (a) What is the probability that exactly 10 of these are from the second section? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What is the probability that at least 10 of these are from the second section? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

(a) P(X=10) = 0.2070

(b) P(X\geq 10) = 0.3798

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that in this problem we have an initial population N = 50, of which 30 fulfill a certain characteristic "m" (belong to the second section). Then, from the population N, a sample of size n = 15 is selected and it is desired to know how many comply with the desired characteristic (second section).

So

Let X be the number of projects in the second section, then X is a discrete random variable that can be modeled by a hypergeometric distribution.

(a)

Therefore, to answer question (a) we use the following equation presented in the attached image:

Where:

N = 50\\m = 30\\n = 15\\X = 10

Then:

P (X = 10) = \frac{\frac{30!}{10!(30-10)!}\frac{20!}{5!(20-5)!}}{\frac{50!}{15!(50-15)!}}\\\\\\P(X=10) = 0.2070

(b)

For part (b) we have:

P(X\geq10) = 1-P(X

P(X\geq 10) = 1-0.6202 \\\\P(X\geq 10) = 0.3798

Dave drove 55 mph for part of the trip and 60mph for the rest. The 245 mile trip took him 4 hours 12 minutes. How long did the 2
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

<u>Dave drove 168 miles during the 2nd part of the trip</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Speed of Dave for part of the trip = 55 mph

Speed of Dave the rest of the trip = 60 mph

Total time of the round trip = 4 hours 12 minutes

Total distance of the trip = 245 miles

2. How far did Dave drive during the 2nd part of his trip?

Let's recall that the formula of speed is:

Speed = Distance/Time, therefore Distance = Speed * Time

x = Time of part of the trip

4 hours 12 minutes - x = Time of the rest of the trip

4.2 hours - x = Time of the rest of the trip

Now, we can write solve for x, this way:

55 * x + 60 (4.2 - x) = 245

55x + 252 - 60x = 245

-5x = 245 - 252

-5x = -7

x = -7/-5 = 7/5 = 1.4 ⇒ 4.2 - x = 2.8

1st part of the trip = 55 * 1.4 = 77 miles

2nd part of the trip = 2.8 * 60 = 168 miles

<u>Dave drove 168 miles during the 2nd part of the trip and 77 miles during the 1st part</u>

Solve the following equation:<br> 9n² - n - 2/3 = 0
KIM [24]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

9n² - n - \frac{2}{3} = 0 ← multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction

27n² - 3n - 2 = 0 ← factoring

Consider the factors of the product of the n² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the n- term

product = 27 × - 2 = - 54 and sum = - 3

The factors are - 9 and + 6

Use these factors to split the n- term

27n² - 9n + 6n - 2 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

9n(3n - 1) + 2(3n - 1) = 0 ← factor out (3n - 1) from each term

(3n - 1)(9n + 2) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for n

3n - 1 = 0 ⇒ 3n = 1 ⇒ n = \frac{1}{3}

9n + 2 = 0 ⇒ 9n = - 2 ⇒ n = - \frac{2}{9}
