The number of weaving errors in a twenty-foot by ten-foot roll of carpet has a mean of 0.8 What is the probability of observing

Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.14% probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet

Explanation:

When we only have the mean, we use the Poisson distribution.

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

The number of weaving errors in a twenty-foot by ten-foot roll of carpet has a mean of 0.8.

This means that $\mu = 0.8$

What is the probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet

Either we observe 4 or less errors, or we observe more than 4. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So

$P(X \leq 4) + P(X > 4) = 1$

We want P(X > 4). Then

$P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4)$

In which

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.4493$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.3595$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.1438$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.0383$

$P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.0077$

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.4493 + 0.3595 + 0.1438 + 0.0383 + 0.0077 = 0.9986$

$P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4) = 1 - 0.9986 = 0.0014$

0.14% probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet

Explain the conductivity results observed for ionic compounds in the solid state and in aqueous solution.i.Solid ionic compounds

Svetach [21]

Answer:

Aqueous solution of ionic compounds conduct electricity while solid ionic compounds don't.

Explanation:

Ionic compound conduct electricity when liquid or in aqueous solution that is resolved in water because the ionic bonds of the compound become weak and the ions are free to move from place to place.

Ionic compounds don't conduct electricity while in solid state because the ionic bonds are to strong and ions cannot move around with lack of space for movement which makes the electric conductivity zero.
