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.

Obtain the general solution to the equation. (x^2+10) + xy = 4x=0 The general solution is y(x) = ignoring lost solutions, if any
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

y(x)=4+\frac{C}{\sqrt{x^2+10}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a differential equation

(x^2+10)y'+xy-4x=0

We have to find the general solution of given differential equation

y'+\frac{x}{x^2+10}y-\frac{4x}{x^2+10}=0

y'+\frac{x}{x^2+10}y=4\frac{x}{x^2+10}

Compare with

y'+P(x) y=Q(x)

We get

P(x)=\frac{x}{x^2+10}

Q(x)=\frac{4x}{x^2+10}

I.F=e^{\int\frac{x}{x^2+10} dx}=e^{\frac{1}{2}ln(x^2+10)}

e^{ln\sqrt(x^2+10)}=\sqrt{x^2+10}

y\cdot \sqrt{x^2+10}=\int \frac{4x}{x^2+10}\times \sqrt{x^2+10} dx+C

y\cdot \sqrt{x^2+10}=\int \frac{4x}{\sqrt{x^2+10}}+C

y\cdot \sqrt{x^2+10}=4\sqrt{x^2+10}+C

y(x)=4+\frac{C}{\sqrt{x^2+10}}

Luc randomly selected 40 students and asked them whether they had ever gone snowboarding. He repeated this survey using the same
anygoal [31]
<span>C. No, because although the results differ among the four surveys, the sample method used for all was the same. Luc RANDOMLY selects 40 students in every survey. Random selection in surveys do not create bias and the results are highly credible. This is because there are no preconceived notions or factors that affect the responses of people being surveyed.</span>
