A consumer organization inspecting new cars found that many had appearance defects (dents, scratches, paint chips, etc.). While

none had more than three of these defects, 7% had exactly three, 11% exactly two, and 21% only one defect. Find the expected number of appearance defects in a new car and the standard deviation.

Answer:

The expected number of appearance defects in a new car  = 0.64

standard deviation = 0.93(approximately)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

7% had exactly three, 11% exactly two, and 21% only one defect in cars.

Let X be no of defects in a car

P(X=3) = .07 , P(X=2) = .11 , P(X=3) = .21

P(X=0 ) = 1 - .07 - .11 - .21 = 0.61

The expected number of appearance defects in a new car =

E(X) = \nu = = \sum X P(X) =3\times 0.07 + 2\times0.11 + 3\times0.21 + 0\times0.61 = 0.64

\sigma^{2}  = variation of E(X) = \sum (X - \nu) ^{2}P(X) = (3 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.07 + (2 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.11 + (1 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.21 + (0 - 0.64) ^{2}\times0.61

 = (2.36) ^{2}\times0.07 + (1.36) ^{2}\times0.11 + (.36) ^{2}\times0.21 + ( 0.64) ^{2}\times0.61 = 0.8704

standard deviation  =  \sqrt{\sigma^{2}} = \sqrt{0.8704^{2}} = 0.93(approximately)

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer: The required length of each piece of wood is  or 9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a piece of lumber is  feet long is to be cut into 3 equal pieces.

We are to find the length of each piece of wood in feet and in inches.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

The length of 3 pieces of wood is equal to  

Therefore, the length of each piece of wood will be

Thus, the required length of each piece of wood is  or 9 inches.

Megan has a large packing box shaped as a cube with a volume of 216 cubic feet.
Flura [38]

Answer:

s = 6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The volume of the cube, V = 216 feet³

We need to find the side length for the cubical box. We know that the volume of the cube is given by :

V=s^3, s is the side length of the box.

So,

s={V}^{1/3}\\\\s={216}^{1/3}\\\\s=6\ feet

So, the side length for the cubical box is equal to 6 feet.

Mazyrski [523]
X^2 - 8x  = (x - 4)^2 - 16

we add 16 to  give   x^2 - 8x + 16  which is a perfect square 

x^2 - 8x + 16  = (x - 4)^2

answer is 16

Find the range and interquartile range for the data represented by the box plot.
Anarel [89]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the data are represented by the box plot.

We need to determine the range and interquartile range.

<u>Range:</u>

The range of the data is the difference between the highest and the lowest value in the given set of data.

From the box plot, the highest value is 30 and the lowest value is 15.

Thus, the range of the data is given by

Range = Highest value - Lowest value

Range = 30 - 15 = 15

Thus, the range of the data is 15.

<u>Interquartile range:</u>

The interquartile range is the difference between the ends of the box in the box plot.

Thus, the interquartile range is given by

Interquartile range = 27 - 18 = 9

Thus, the interquartile range is 9.
