The number of surface flaws in plastic panels used in the interior of automobiles has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.05

flaw per square foot of plastic panel. Assume that an automobile interior contains 10 square feet of plastic panel.(a) What is the probability that there are no surface flaws in an auto's interior?(b) If 10 cars are sold to a rental company, what is the probability that none of the 10 cars has any surface flaws?

Answer:

(a) Probability that there are no surface flaws in an auto's interior is 0.6065 .

(b) If 10 cars are sold to a rental company, what is the probability that none of the 10 cars has any surface flaws is 0.00673 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the number of surface flaws in plastic panels used in the interior of automobiles has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.05 flaws per square foot of plastic panel.

Let X = Distribution of number of surface flaws in plastic panels

So, X ~ Poisson(\lambda)

The mean of Poisson distribution is given by, E(X) = \lambda = 0.05

which means, X ~ Poisson(0.05)

The probability distribution function of a Poisson random variable is:

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!}; for  x=0,1,2,3...

Now, we know that \lambda for per square foot of plastic panel is 0.05 and we are given that an automobile interior contains 10 square feet of plastic panel.

Therefore,  for 10 square foot of plastic panel is = 10 * 0.05 = 0.5

(a) Probability that there are no surface flaws in an auto's interior =P(X=0)

    P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.5}*0.5^{0}}{0!} = e^{-0.5} = 0.6065

(b) If 10 cars are sold to a rental company, what is the probability that none of the 10 cars has any surface flaws = P(X = 0)^{10}

    So, P(X = 0)^{10} = 0.6065^{10} = 0.00673

If x•x = 10, what is the value of X?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

x = 3.16

Step-by-step explanation:

x * x = 10

x^2 = 10

square root both sides

\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{10}

x  = \sqrt{10}

x is appr. 3.16

A thermometer is taken from a room where the temperature is 20°C to the outdoors, where the temperature is 3°C. After one minute
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

A. T=7.12°C; B. t=3.32min

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer we can use the Newton's law of cooling:

y(t)=y0e^{kt} where:

y0=initial temperature - room temperature

k=coefficients

t=time

Because the outdoors temperature is 3°C, the initial temperature is 20°C, and because the thermometer reads 11°C after 1min we have:

11=(20-3)e^{k*1}

ln(11/17)=k

-0.4353=k

A. Temperature after an extra minute.

y(2)=17e^{-0.4353*2}

y(2)=7.12 so the answer is 7.12°C

B. Time in order to read 4°C

4=17e^{-0.4353*t}

ln(4/17)/(-0.4353)=t}

3.32min=t
