A number d is more than 0 and less than 10

A company that produces fine crystal knows from experience that 13% of its goblets have cosmetic flaws and must be classified as

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

(a) The probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b) The probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c) The probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of seconds in the batch.

The probability of the random variable X is, p = 0.31.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

The probability mass function of X is:

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

(a)

Compute the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

$P(X=1)={6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=6\times 0.13\times 0.4984\\=0.3888$

Thus, the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

$=1-{6\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{6-0}-{6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=1-0.4336+0.3888\\=0.1776$

Thus, the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c)

If goblets are examined one by one then to find four that are not seconds we need to select either 4 goblets that are not seconds or 5 goblets including only 1 second.

P (4 not seconds) = P (X = 0; n = 4) + P (X = 1; n = 5)

$={4\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{4-0}+{5\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{5-1}\\=0.5729+0.3724\\=0.9453$

Thus, the probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.

which statements are true? check all that apply. the line x = 0 is perpendicular to the line y = –3. all lines that are parallel

CaHeK987 [17]

1) True that line x = 0 is perpedicular to y = -3. Because x = 0 is parallel to the y-axis and y = -3 is parallel to the x-axis.

2) True that all the lines that are parallel to the y-axis are vertucal lines (the y-axis is vertical)

3) False that all lines perpendicular to the x-axis have a slope o 0. Their slope trends to infinity.

4) False that the equation of the line parallel to the x-axis that passes through the point (2, –6) is x = 2. The right equation is y = - 6

5) True thath the equation of the line perpendicular to the y-axis that passes through the point (–5, 1) is y = 1
