Answer:

P(X = 0) = 0.0208, P(X = 1) = 0.2484, P(X = 2) = 0.7308

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the following events

A: the first component meet specification

B: the second component meet specification

P(A) = 0.87

P(B) = 0.84

Let X be the random variable that represents the number of components in the assembly that meet specifications. Because there are only two mechanical components in the assembly, X can only take the values 0, 1, 2.

P(X = 0) = P(the first component does not meet specification and the second component does not meet specification) =  

P(A^{c}\cap B^{c}) = P(A^{c})P(B^{c}) (because of independence)  

= (0.13)(0.16) = 0.0208

P(X = 1) = P(only one component meet specification) = P[(the first component meet specification and the second component does not meet specification) or (the first component does not meet specification and the second component meet specification)] =  

P[(A\cap B^{c})\cup (A^{c}\cap B)] = P(A\cap B^{c}) + P(A^{c}\cap B)= (because sets are mutually exclusive)

P(A)P(B^{c}) + P(A^{c})P(B)= (because of independence)

= (0.87)(0.16) + (0.13)(0.84) = 0.2484

P(X = 2) = P(both components meet specifications) =  

P(A\cap B) = P(A)P(B) (because of independence)

= (0.87)(0.84)

= 0.7308

Answer:

52 did not vote.

Step-by-step explanation:

120 * 1/6 = 20

120 * 2/5 = 240/5 = 48.

NUMBER who did not vote = 120 - 20 - 48

= 52.

What is the answer to this math equation(x+5)(x²-3x)​
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

x=-5\\x=0\\x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume your equation to solve is

(x+5)(x^2-3x)=0

When we have a product of two factors equal to zero,

A\cdot B = 0

The solution is either A = 0 or B = 0.

In this case, this means that we can break the equation into two equations:

x+5=0\\x^2-3x=0

Solving the first one, we get:

x+5=0 \rightarrow x = -5

For the second one, we rewrite it as:

x^2-3x=0\\x(x-3)=0

And we see that this equation has two solutions:

x=0\\x=3

Therefore, the three solutions are:

x=-5\\x=0\\x=3
