Answer:

The  value is  P(X \ge  15) =  0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The probability of the device failing during the warranty period is p =  0.005

    The  sample size is  n = 3000

     The random variable  considered is  x  =  15

Generally this is distribution is binomial given the fact that there is only two out comes hence

      X  which is a variable representing a randomly selected selected electronic follows a binomial distribution i.e

     X  \~ \  B(n , p)

Now the mean is mathematically evaluated as

      \mu  =  n *  p

=>   \mu  = 3000 *  0.005

=>    \mu  =15

The standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      \sigma  =  \sqrt{np(1 -p )}

=>  \sigma  =  \sqrt{3000 *  0.005 * (1 - 0.005 )}

=>   \sigma  =  3.86

Now given that n is very large, then it mean that we can successfully apply normal approximation on this  binomial distribution

So

    P(X \ge  15) =  P( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }  \ge \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma } )

Now  applying  Continuity Correction we have

   P(X \ge  (15-0.5)) =  P( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }  > \frac{(15 -0.5) - 15}{3.86 } )

Generally  \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }   =  Z (The \ standardized \ value  \ of  \ X)

    P(X \ge  (15-0.5)) =  P(Z >-0.130 )

From the z-table  

       P(Z >-0.130 )  =0.5

Thus  

    P(X \ge  15) =  0.5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(f O g) this basically means that the input x first goes trough the function g and then f. Like f(g(x)).

So when x went trough g, you got the output g(x) and then this went trough f and you got f(g(x)) = -8 = 'f(x)'.

With this in mind you can retrace your steps by first looking at what input can get -8 as an output, for f this is -4. this means g(x) = -4

Then you look at what input (this is the x you're looking for) gets you the ouput -4. Looking at the second image you'll picture see that it's the input 3.
