-8-(-4)
when a negative is with a negative u always have to make sure to change it into a positive.
-8+4=-4

A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of ibuprofen tablets and uses an acceptance sampling plan. This plan randomly

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

0.7208 = 72.08% probability that this whole shipment will be accepted.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each tablet, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it meets the required specifications, or it does not. The probability of a tablet meeting the required specifications is independent of any other tablet, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

4% rate of defects

This means that $p = 0.04$

26 tablets

This means that $n = 26$

What is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted?

Probability that at most one tablet does not meet the specifications, which is:

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

Thus

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{26,0}.(0.04)^{0}.(0.96)^{26} = 0.3460$

$P(X = 1) = C_{26,1}.(0.04)^{1}.(0.96)^{25} = 0.3748$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.3460 + 0.3748 = 0.7208$

0.7208 = 72.08% probability that this whole shipment will be accepted.

Select Exponential growth or Exponential decay for each function.

Lena [83]

Answer:

f(x)=(1.023) ⋅ 3^x Growth

f(x)=3 ⋅ (0.072)^x Decay

f(x)=4 ⋅ (0.035)^x Decay

f(x)=2 ⋅ (1.34)^x Growth

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function at its heart has a base number of rate. If the rate is less than 1, then the function decays. If the base number or rate is greater than 1, then the function grows and increase.

f(x)=(1.023) ⋅ 3^x Rate 3 - Growth

f(x)=3 ⋅ (0.072)^x Rate 0.072 - Decay

f(x)=4 ⋅ (0.035)^x Rate 0.035 - Decay

f(x)=2 ⋅ (1.34)^x Rate 1.34 - Growth
