Consider a large shipment of 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors. If X is the number among 15 randomly sel

ected refrigerators that have defective compressors, describe a less tedious way to calculate (at least approximately) P(X ≤ 3) than to use the hypergeometric pmf. We can approximate the hypergeometric distribution with the distribution if the population size and the number of successes are large. Here n = and p = M/N = . Approximate P(X ≤ 3) using that method. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) P(X ≤ 3) ≈

Answer:

The required probability is 0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors.

Therefore N = 400 and X = 40

The probability of defective compressors is:

\frac{40}{400}=0.10

It is given that If X is the number among 15 randomly selected refrigerators that have defective compressors,

That means n=15

Apply the probability density function.

P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

We need to find P(X ≤ 3)

P(X\leq3) =P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)\\P(X\leq3) =\frac{15!}{15!}(0.1)^0(1-0.1)^{15}+\frac{15!}{14!}(0.1)^1(1-0.1)^{14}+\frac{15!}{13!2!}(0.1)^2(1-0.1)^{13}+\frac{15!}{12!3!}(0.1)^3(1-0.1)^{12}\\

P(X\leq3) =0.944444369992\approx 0.94

Hence, the required probability is 0.94

Make each a ratio, and set them equal to each other.

Larger rectangle = 3/5
smaller rectangle = x/3

3/5 = x/3

cross multiply

3/5(5)(3) = x/3(3)(5)

3(3) = x(5)

9 = 5x

Isolate the x, divide 5 from both sides

9/5 = 5x/5

x = 9/5

x = 1.8

1.8 in. is your answer

hope this helps

What is the equation of the following line written in general form? (The y-intercept is 7.)
Viktor [21]

Answer:

<h2>3x - y + 7 = 0</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Put the given y-intercept b = 7 and the coordinates of the point (-2, 1) to the equation:

1=-2m+7          <em>subtract 7 from both sides</em>

-6=-2m       <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>

3=m\to m=3

We have the equation:

y=3x+7

Convert it to the general form Ax+By+C=0:

y=3x+7              <em>subtract 3x and 7 from both sides</em>

-3x+y-7=0           <em>change the signs</em>

3x-y+7=0
