Answer:

The probability that exactly one of these mortgages is delinquent is 0.357.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, 8% of U.S. mortgages were delinquent in 2011. A delinquent mortgage is one that has missed at least one payment but has not yet gone to foreclosure.

A random sample of eight mortgages was selected.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 8 mortgages

            r = number of success = exactly one

           p = probability of success which in our question is % of U.S.

                  mortgages those were delinquent in 2011, i.e; 8%

<em>LET X = Number of U.S. mortgages those were delinquent in 2011</em>

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=8, p=0.08)

Now, Probability that exactly one of these mortgages is delinquent is given by = P(X = 1)

                 P(X = 1)  = \binom{8}{1}\times 0.08^{1} \times (1-0.08)^{8-1}

                               = 8 \times 0.08 \times 0.92^{7}

                               = 0.357

<u><em>Hence, the probability that exactly one of these mortgages is delinquent is 0.357.</em></u>

A large manufacturing plant uses lightbulbs with lifetimes that are normally distributed with a mean of 1200 hours and a standar
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The bulbs should be replaced each 1060.5 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 1200, \sigma = 60

How often should the bulbs be replaced so that no more than 1% burn out between replacement periods?

This is the first percentile, that is, the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 0.01. So X when Z = -2.325.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-2.325 = \frac{X - 1200}{60}

X - 1200 = -2.325*60

X = 1060.5

The bulbs should be replaced each 1060.5 days.

Find the annual rate of interest. Principal = 4600 rupees, Period = 5 years, Total amount = 6440 rupees, Annual rate of interest
Len [333]

The annual rate of interest per year is 8%

<u>Solution:</u>

Given:- Principal (p) = 4600 rupees, Time –Period (t) = 5 years, Total amount(A) = 6440 rupees

First we will calculate the Interest and then using formula of simple interest we will calculate the rate of interest

Interest = Amount – Principal

Interest = 6440  – 4600 = 1840

Now using the formula of simple Interest and on putting values we get,

\text {Simple Interest }=\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}

Where "P" is the principal and "R" is the rate of interest per annum and "T" is the time period

1840=\frac{4600 \times R \times 5}{100}

\begin{aligned} \mathrm{R} &=\frac{1840 \times 100}{4600 \times 5} \\\\ \mathrm{R} &=\frac{1840}{230} \\\\ \mathrm{R} &=8 \% \end{aligned}

Hence, the required rate of interest per year is 8%
