The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act mandates the tracking and disposal of hazardous waste produced at U.S. facilities. Pr

ofessional Geographer (Feb. 2000) reported the hazardous waste generation and disposal characteristics of 209 facilities. Only eight of these facilities treated hazardous waste on-site.
Required:
a. In a random sample of 10 of the 209 facilities, what is the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site? Interpret this result.
b. Find the probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.

Answer:

(a) E(X) =  0.383

The expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is 0.383.

(b) P(x = 4) = 0.000169

There is a 0.000169 probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.

Step-by-step explanation:

Professional Geographer (Feb. 2000) reported the hazardous waste generation and disposal characteristics of 209 facilities.

N = 209

Only eight of these facilities treated hazardous waste on-site.

r = 8

a. In a random sample of 10 of the 209 facilities, what is the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site?

n = 10

The expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is given by

$ E(X) =  \frac{n \times r}{N} $

$ E(X) =  \frac{10 \times 8}{209} $

$ E(X) =  \frac{80}{209} $

E(X) =  0.383

Therefore, the expected number in the sample that treats hazardous waste on-site is 0.383.

b. Find the probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site

The probability is given by

$ P(x = 4) =  \frac{\binom{r}{x} \binom{N - r}{n - x}}{\binom{N}{n}} $

For the given case, we have

N = 209

n = 10

r = 8

x = 4

$ P(x = 4) =  \frac{\binom{8}{4} \binom{209 - 8}{10 - 4}}{\binom{209}{10}} $

$ P(x = 4) =  \frac{\binom{8}{4} \binom{201}{6}}{\binom{209}{10}} $

$ P(x = 4) =  \frac{70 \times 84944276340}{35216131179263320}

P(x = 4) = 0.000169

Therefore, there is a 0.000169 probability that 4 of the 10 selected facilities treat hazardous waste on-site.

4|n+8| = 56 <br><br>please help
Alchen [17]
To solve the absolute value equation you first need to get everything not in the absolute value bars to the other side of the equation.

Step 1) Divide by 4
|n+8| = 14

*Remember: when solving absolute value equations, you make what the expression (n+8) is equal to negative and positive. Not the other way around.

Step 2) Make two equations

n+8 = 14
n+8 = -14

Solve and you'll see that n= 6 and -22

If the velocity of an object changes from 65 m/s to 98 m/s during a time interval of 12 s, what is the acceleration of the objec
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer

Find out the what is the acceleration of the object .

To prove

Formula

Acceleration = \frac{Final\ velocity - Intial\ velocity}{Time }

Where

t = the time in which the change occurs

As given

If the velocity of an object changes from 65 m/s to 98 m/s during a time interval of 12 s .

Final velocity = 98 m/s  

Intial velocity = 65 m/s

Time = 12 s

Put in the formula

Acceleration = \frac{98 - 65}{12}

Acceleration = \frac{33}{12}

Acceleration = 2 .75 m/s ²

Option (A) is correct .
