A prticular type of tennis racket comes in a midsize versionand an oversize version. sixty percent of all customers at acertain

svetlana [45]

Answer:

a) P(x≥6)=0.633

b) P(4≤x≤8)=0.8989 (one standard deviation from the mean).

c) P(x≤7)=0.8328

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We can model this a binomial experiment. The probability of success p is the proportion of customers that prefer the oversize version (p=0.60).

The number of trials is n=10, as they select 10 randomly customers.

We have to calculate the probability that at least 6 out of 10 prefer the oversize version.

This can be calculated using the binomial expression:

$P(x\geq6)=\sum_{k=6}^{10}P(k)=P(6)+P(7)+P(8)+P(9)+P(10)\\\\\\P(x=6) = \binom{10}{6} p^{6}q^{4}=210*0.0467*0.0256=0.2508\\\\P(x=7) = \binom{10}{7} p^{7}q^{3}=120*0.028*0.064=0.215\\\\P(x=8) = \binom{10}{8} p^{8}q^{2}=45*0.0168*0.16=0.1209\\\\P(x=9) = \binom{10}{9} p^{9}q^{1}=10*0.0101*0.4=0.0403\\\\P(x=10) = \binom{10}{10} p^{10}q^{0}=1*0.006*1=0.006\\\\\\P(x\geq6)=0.2508+0.215+0.1209+0.0403+0.006=0.633$

b) We first have to calculate the standard deviation from the mean of the binomial distribution. This is expressed as:

$\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{10*0.6*0.4}=\sqrt{2.4}=1.55$

The mean of this distribution is:

$\mu=np=10*0.6=6$

As this is a discrete distribution, we have to use integer values for the random variable. We will approximate both values for the bound of the interval.

$LL=\mu-\sigma=6-1.55=4.45\approx4\\\\UL=\mu+\sigma=6+1.55=7.55\approx8$

The probability of having between 4 and 8 customers choosing the oversize version is:

$P(4\leq x\leq 8)=\sum_{k=4}^8P(k)=P(4)+P(5)+P(6)+P(7)+P(8)\\\\\\P(x=4) = \binom{10}{4} p^{4}q^{6}=210*0.1296*0.0041=0.1115\\\\P(x=5) = \binom{10}{5} p^{5}q^{5}=252*0.0778*0.0102=0.2007\\\\P(x=6) = \binom{10}{6} p^{6}q^{4}=210*0.0467*0.0256=0.2508\\\\P(x=7) = \binom{10}{7} p^{7}q^{3}=120*0.028*0.064=0.215\\\\P(x=8) = \binom{10}{8} p^{8}q^{2}=45*0.0168*0.16=0.1209\\\\\\P(4\leq x\leq 8)=0.1115+0.2007+0.2508+0.215+0.1209=0.8989$

c. The probability that all of the next ten customers who want this racket can get the version they want from current stock means that at most 7 customers pick the oversize version.

Then, we have to calculate P(x≤7). We will, for simplicity, calculate this probability substracting P(x>7) from 1.

$P(x\leq7)=1-\sum_{k=8}^{10}P(k)=1-(P(8)+P(9)+P(10))\\\\\\P(x=8) = \binom{10}{8} p^{8}q^{2}=45*0.0168*0.16=0.1209\\\\P(x=9) = \binom{10}{9} p^{9}q^{1}=10*0.0101*0.4=0.0403\\\\P(x=10) = \binom{10}{10} p^{10}q^{0}=1*0.006*1=0.006\\\\\\P(x\leq 7)=1-(0.1209+0.0403+0.006)=1-0.1672=0.8328$

Answer:

$\frac{x-3}{2x-3}$ . hole or removable discontinuity at x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well generally if you want the simplest form, you factor each the denominator and numerator and then see if you can cancel any of the factors out (because they're in the denominator and numerator)

So let's start by factoring the first equation:

$x^2-5x+6$

Now let's find what ac is (it's just c since a=1...)

$AC= 6$

List factors of -6

$\pm1, \pm2, \pm3, \pm6$ .

Now we have to look for two numbers that add up to -5. It's a bit obvious here since there isn't many factors, but it's -2 and -3, and they're both negative since 6 is positive, and -5 is negative...

So using these two factors we get

$(x-2)(x-3)$

Ok now let's factor the second equation:

$2x^2-7x+6$

Multiply a and c

$AC = 12$

List factors of 12:

$\pm1, \pm2, \pm3, \pm4, \pm6, \pm12$ .

Factors that add up to -7 and multiply to 12:

$-3\ and\ -4$

Rewrite equation:

$2x^2-4x-3x+6$

Group terms:

$(2x^2-4x)+(-3x+6)$

Factor out GCF:

$2x(x-2)-3(x-2)$

Rewrite:

$(2x-3)(x-2)$

Now let's write out the equation using these factors:

$\frac{(x-2)(x-3)}{(2x-3)(x-2)}$ .

Here we can factor out the x-2 and the simplified form is:

$\frac{x-3}{2x-3}$

So we can "technically" define f(2) using the most simplified form, but it's removable discontinuity, so it has a hole as x=2. since it makes (x-2) equal to 0 (2-2) = 0.

Convert into mixed number 81/3 and -29/2

LuckyWell [14K]

Hmmmm to convert from improper to mixed, simply do the division of both, the quotient gets upfront, the remainder as the numerator, for example,

how many times 3 goes into 81? well, 27 times, with a remainder of 0, thus $\bf 27\frac{0}{3}$

how many times does 2 go into 29? well 14 times, with a remainder of 1, thus $\bf -14\frac{1}{2}$
