Scientists think that robots will play a crucial role in factories in the next several decades. Suppose that in an experiment to

determine whether the use of robots to weave computer cables is feasible, a robot was used to assemble 507 cables. The cables were examined and there were 9 defectives. If human assemblers have a defect rate of 0.035 (3.5%), does this data support the hypothesis that the proportion of defectives is lower for robots than humans

Answer:

The data support the hypothesis that the proportion of defectives is lower for robots than humans.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know if the proportion of defectives is lower for robots than humans so as to prove if the hypothesis is true.

From the data given:

Total number of cables a robot assembled = 507

Defectives = 9

To get the defect rate =  the number of defects divided by the total number of cables, multiplied by 100.

Defect rate =  (9 / 507) x 100 = 0.01775 x 100

Defect rate for the robot = 1.775‬%

From the question, a robot was used and the defect rate after the calculation is 1.775‬%. While for humans, the defect rate is 3.5%. This implies, if humans were used to assembling the same 507 cables, there will be 17.745‬ defectives.

x / 507 = 3.5%

x (defectives) = 17.745‬

Therefore, the data support the hypothesis that the proportion of defectives is lower for robots than humans.

Hi,
If it is f(x)=2x²+3 and not F(x)=2x²+3 then 
Answer D.

f(x)=2x^2+3\\

f(x+1)=2(x+1)^2+3\\
=2(x^2+2x+1)+3\\
=2x^2+4x+5\\

What is the common factor of the numerator and denominator in the expression <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%282x%2
mixer [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - 4)

What you are being asked to do is find the exact same binomial in the top as is in the bottom.

But there's a small catch. You must stipulate that x cannot equal 4. If it does, then you will get 0/0 which is undefined. You can't have that happening -- not at this level.

Any other value for x is fine.
