Suppose I work on a factory line doing quality control work. Since I've been working here for such a long time, I am fairly conf

ident that 15% of all items (independent of all other items) need to be sent back to be re-worked. These items take a fairly long time to check properly, but it is the same set of steps every time, so I always check 25 items every shift. Let X be the number of items sent back to be re-worked during a given shift. What is the distribution of X? Give the name of the distribution and the appropriate parameters. What is the mean and variance of this distribution? Give your answer as a number, but include the formulas (or logic) used. What is the probability I send back less than 4 items to be re-worked during a single shift? What is the probability I send back exactly 3 items to be re-worked during a single shift?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) It is a binomial distribution.

n = 25

p = 0.15

b) mean = np = 25 * 0.15 = 3.75

   variance = np(1 - p)

                 = 25 * 0.15 * (1 - 0.15)

                 = 3.1875

c) P(X = x) = nCx * px * (1 - p)n - x

P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

            = 25C0 * (0.15)^0 * (0.85)^25 + 25C1 * (0.15)^1 * (0.85)^24 + 25C2 * (0.15)^2 * (0.85)^23 + 25C3 * (0.15)^3 * (0.85)^22 = 0.4711

d) P(X = 3) = 25C3 * (0.15)^3 * (0.85)^22 = 0.2174

Answer: B

We all know that area= LxW
The width that is being shown is 8ft. The length is 20ft. Therefore, you multiply 8 x 20 which gives you 160ft squared. Hope this this helps :)

Harry worked 7 hours last week this is one third as many hours as Aiden work how many hours did Aiden work
Eduardwww [97]
21 hrs. Because if Harry worked one third the hrs thats Aiden worked then 7×3 =21 and 21÷3=7. So 7 is one third of 21.

Here's a graph of a linear function. Write the
svp [43]

First you need to find the y-intercept, which is y = -1

Next is we need to find the slope of the line > you are going to have to do this by finding to clear point

The ones that I will be using are: (3, 1); (6, 3)   (You could take any points)

Now using the slope formula we could find m.

m = y2-y1 / x2-x1

(1 - 3) / (3 - 6) = m

-2 / -3 = m

m = 2/3

Using the linear function format: y = mx + b

Therefore the equation of the line is y = 2x/3 -1

Lena and three of her friends bought just enough food so they could go for a 12-day camping trip. Pete and Jane surprised them b

Answer:

  33.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of people that must be fed has increased from 4 to 6, so is 6/4 = 3/2 as many as planned.

Assuming the additional people eat the food at the same rate as the original people, the time and number of people are assumed to be inversely proportional. That is, the time the food will last is 2/3 of the originally expected time. It has decreased by 1/3 × 100% = 33.3%.

___

If you like, you can count rations. For four people for 12 days, at 3 rations per person per day, a total of 144 rations are needed. When the number of people becomes 6, the number of days that will last is ,,,

  (144 rations)/(6 persons)/(3 rations/person/day) = 8 days

The percentage change in trip days is ...

  (8 -12)/12 × 100% = -4/12 × 100% = -33.3% . . . a decrease of 33.3%
