Answer:

0.3594 = 35.94% probability that greater than 96 out of 153 DVDs will work correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

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 = 153, p = 0.62

So

\mu = E(X) = np = 153*0.62 = 94.86

\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{153*0.62*0.38} = 6

Probability that greater than 96 out of 153 DVDs will work correctly.

97 or more DVDs, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 97. So

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

Z = \frac{97 - 94.86}{6}

Z = 0.36

Z = 0.36 has a pvalue of 0.6406

1 - 0.6406 = 0.3594

0.3594 = 35.94% probability that greater than 96 out of 153 DVDs will work correctly.

F(x)=7x+9 find f(6c-4)<br><br> a.35c+9 b.42c+9<br><br> c.42c-19 d.42c-19
Lapatulllka [165]
C & D Answer Choices Are The Same, Your Answer Is 42c-19

f(x) =  \: all \: x \: in \: (7x + 9)
f(x) = 7x + 9
f(6c - 4) = 7x + 9
*Distributive Property
f(6c - 4) = 7(6c - 4) + 9
f(6c - 4) = 42c - 28 + 9
f(6c - 4) = 42c - 19

The system of inequalities is:

y ≤ -0.05*x^2 + 6x

y >  1.5x + 45

(30, 90) is not a solution of that system, while (60, 160) is a solution.

<h3>How to get the system of inequalities?</h3>

We know that the revenue y is given by:

y ≤ -0.05x^2 + 6x

And we know that the costs are 1.5x + 45, and the revenue must be larger than that, so we also have the inequality:

y >  1.5x + 45

So the system is:

y ≤ -0.05*x^2 + 6x

y >  1.5x + 45

Now, the point (30, 90) means that we need to replace x by 30 and y by 90, replacing that in the second inequality, we will get:

90 > 1.5*30 + 45 = 90

90 > 90

This is false, so the point is not a solution of this inequality, meaning that the point is not a solution of the system.

For the second point we do the same: x= 60, y = 160, replacing that in the second inequality we get:

160 > 1.5*60 + 45 = 135

160 > 135

This is true, now we need to check with the other inequality.

160 ≤  -0.05*60^2 + 6*60 = 180

This is also true.

So the point (60, 160) is a solution to the system.
