Suppose that 50% of all watches produced by a certain factory are defective (the other 50% are fine). A store buys a box with 40

0 watches produced by this factory. Assume this is a random sample from the factory. (a) Write an expression for the exact probability that at least 215 of the 400 watches are defective. (b) Approximate the probability, using either the Poisson or normal approximation, whichever is appropriate, that at least 215 of the 400 watches are defective.

Answer:

a) P(X \geq 215)

b) 7.35% probability that at least 215 of the 400 watches are defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be 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.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that \mu = E(X), \sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}.

In this problem, we have that:

n = 400, p = 0.5

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 400*0.5 = 200

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{400*0.5*0.5} = 10

(a) Write an expression for the exact probability that at least 215 of the 400 watches are defective.

P(X \geq 215)

(b) Approximate the probability, using either the Poisson or normal approximation, whichever is appropriate, that at least 215 of the 400 watches are defective.

Using continuity correction, this is P(X \geq 215-0.5) = P(X \geq 214.5), which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 214.5. So

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

Z = \frac{214.5 - 200}{10}

Z = 1.45

Z = 1.45 has a pvalue of 0.9265

1 - 0.9265 = 0.0735

7.35% probability that at least 215 of the 400 watches are defective.

Three brothers Charlie Robert and Nicholas have 21 video games Charlie has twice as many games as Robert. Robert has 5 fewer gam
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The equation would be 4x-15=21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total Number of Video games = 21

Let the number of video game Nicholas has be 'x'.

Now Given:

Robert has 5 fewer games than Nicholas.

so we can say that;

number of video game Robert has = x-5

Also Given:

Charlie has twice as many games as Robert.

so we can say that;

number of video game Charlie has = 2(x-5)=2x-10

we need to write the equation.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

Total Number of Video games is equal to sum of number of video game Nicholas has, number of video game Robert has and number of video game Charlie has.

framing the equation we get;

x+x-5+2x-10=21\\\\4x-15=21

Hence The equation would be 4x-15=21.

On Solving we get;

Adding both side by 15 we get;

4x-15+15=21+15\\\\4x=36

Dividing both side by 4 we get;

\frac{3x}{4}=\frac{36}{4}\\\\x=9

Hence Nicholas has = 9 video games

Robert has = x-5= 9-5=4 video games

Charlie has = 2x-10 = 2\times9-10=18-10=8 video games

Cos(x+y)cos(x-y)=cos^2(x)-sin^2(y)<br> Verify the identity
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer: Verified.

Step-by-step explanation:  The given identity involving trigonometric ratios is

\cos(x+y)\cos(x-y)=\cos^2x-\sin^2y.

We have

L.H.S.\\\\=\cos(x+y)\cos(x-y)\\\\=\left(\cos x\cos y-\sin x\sin y\right)\left(\cos x\cos y+\sin x\sin y\right)\\\\=\left(\cos x\cos y\right)^2-\left(\sin x\sin y\right)^2\\\\=\cos^2x\cos^2y-\sin^2x\sin^2y\\\\=\cos^2x(1-\sin^2y)-(1-\cos^2x)\sin^2y\\\\=\cos^2x-\cos^2x\sin^2y-\sin^2y+\cos^2x\sin^2y\\\\=\cos^2x-\sin^2y\\\\=R.H.S.

Therefore, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Thus, the given identity is verified.
