A stationary store has decided to accept a large shipment of ball-point pens if an inspection of 19 randomly selected pens yield

s no more than two defective pens. (a) Find the probability that this shipment is accepted if 5% of the total shipment is defective. (Use 3 decimal places.)

Given Information:  

Probability of shipment accepted = p = 5%

Probability of shipment not accepted = q = 95%

Total number of pens = n = 19

Required Information:  

Probability of shipment being accepted with no more than 2 defective pens = P( x ≤ 2) = ?  

Answer:

P( x ≤ 2) = 0.933

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem can be solved using Bernoulli distribution  which is given by

P(n, x) = nCx pˣqⁿ⁻ˣ  

The probability of no more than 2 defective pens means

P( x ≤ 2) = Probability of 0 defective pen + Probability of 1 defective pen + Probability of 2 defective pens

P( x ≤ 2) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2)

For P(0) we have p = 0.05, q = 0.95, n = 19 and x = 0

P(0) = 19C0(0.05)⁰(0.95)¹⁹

P(0) = (1)(1)(0.377)

P(0) = 0.377

For P(1) we have p = 0.05, q = 0.95, n = 19 and x = 1

P(1) = 19C1(0.05)¹(0.95)¹⁸

P(1) = (19)(0.05)(0.397)

P(1) = 0.377

For P(2) we have p = 0.05, q = 0.95, n = 19 and x = 2

P(2) = 19C2(0.05)²(0.95)¹⁷

P(2) = (171)(0.0025)(0.418)

P(2) = 0.179

Therefore, the required probability is

P( x ≤ 2) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2)

P( x ≤ 2) = 0.377 + 0.377 + 0.179

P( x ≤ 2) = 0.933

P( x ≤ 2) = 93.3%

Therefore, the probability that this shipment is accepted with no more than 2 defective pens is 0.933.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

  about 106 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the two towns can be estimated several ways. In the attachment, we chose to measure the angles on the map. Using the law of sines, we can estimate the unknown distance.

The distance can also be estimated using the Tounouse-Avaria distance as a ruler. For best results, that ruler would need to be subdivided to an appropriate level.

__

<h3>angle measures</h3>

The angles in the triangle can be measured using a protractor or some other tool. The attachment shows the results from a geometry program:

  • ∠TMA ≈ 107°
  • ∠TAM ≈ 24°
<h3>law of sines</h3>

The law of sines tells us the distances are proportional to the sines of the opposite angles:

  TM/sin(TAM) = TA/sin(TMA)

  TM = sin(24°)×(250 km)/sin(107°) ≈ 106.3 km

The distance from Tounouse to Mt. Monotti is estimated to be about 106 km.

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Using a compass or dividers to project the TM distance onto TA, we find it is between 0.4 and 0.5 of the TA distance. The difference between 2×TM and TA can be estimated to be about 0.4×TM. That is, ...

  TM ≈ TA/2.4 ≈ (250 km)/2.4 ≈ 104.2 km

This estimate is consistent with the one found using angle measures.

PLEASE HELP FAST! I'LL LIST U BRAINIEST IF U ANSWER RIGHT!
sattari [20]

Answer:

Part A) x = -3

Part B) x = 1, x = -7

Part C) x < -7

Part D) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Part A)</h3>

2(x - 3) = 3x - 3

<em>open the parenthesis</em>

2 * x - 2 * 3 = 3x - 3

2x - 6 = 3x - 3

<em>subtract 2x from both sides</em>

2x - 2x - 6 = 3x - 2x - 3

-6 = x - 3

<em>add 3 to both sides</em>

-6 + 3 = x

-3 = x

<h3>Part B)</h3>

|2x + 6| = 8

<em>split this into two equations:</em>

<em>2x + 6 = 8</em>

<em>&</em>

<em>2x + 6 = -8</em>

2x + 6 = 8

2x = 8-6

2x = 2

x = 1

2x + 6 = -8

2x = -8 - 6

2x = -14

x = -7

<h3>Part C)</h3>

-5(x + 1) > 30

<em>open the parenthesis</em>

-5x - 5 > 30

<em>add 5 to both sides</em>

-5x > 35

<em>divide both sides by -5</em>

x > -7

<em>since you divided by a negative, flip the sign.</em>

x < -7

<h3>Part D)</h3>

f(x) = 4x - 3

<em>substitute x for 5</em>

5 = 4x - 3

5 + 3 = 4x

8 = 4x

2 = x
