Answer:

The expected repair cost is $3.73.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> is defined as the number of defectives among the 4 items sold.

The probability of a large lot of items containing defectives is, <em>p</em> = 0.09.

An item is defective irrespective of the others.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 9 and <em>p</em> = 0.09.

The repair cost of the item is given by:

C=3X^{2}+X+2

Compute the expected cost of repair as follows:

E(C)=E(3X^{2}+X+2)

        =3E(X^{2})+E(X)+2

Compute the expected value of <em>X</em> as follows:

E(X)=np

         =4\times 0.09\\=0.36

The expected value of <em>X</em> is 0.36.

Compute the variance of <em>X</em> as follows:

V(X)=np(1-p)

         =4\times 0.09\times 0.91\\=0.3276\\

The variance of <em>X</em> is 0.3276.

The variance can also be computed using the formula:

V(X)=E(Y^{2})-(E(Y))^{2}

Then the formula of E(Y^{2}) is:

E(Y^{2})=V(X)+(E(Y))^{2}

Compute the value of E(Y^{2}) as follows:

E(Y^{2})=V(X)+(E(Y))^{2}

          =0.3276+(0.36)^{2}\\=0.4572

The expected repair cost is:

E(C)=3E(X^{2})+E(X)+2

         =(3\times 0.4572)+0.36+2\\=3.7316\\\approx 3.73

Thus, the expected repair cost is $3.73.

1 5/6 −(x− 7/12 )+2 1/12 =0.9
iren [92.7K]
The answer is x=3.6 or 3 3/5.

First we convert the decimal answer to a fraction; 0.9 is read as "nine tenths," so the corresponding fraction is 9/10:

1 5/6 - (x - 7/12) + 2 1/12 = 9/10

Now we find a common denominator.  The first thing that 6, 12 and 10 will all divide into is 60:

1 50/60 - (x - 35/60) + 2 5/60 = 54/60

Distributing the negative, we have:
1 50/60 - x + 35/60 + 2 5/60 = 54/60

Combining like terms, we have:
-x + 4 30/60 = 54/60

Subtracting 4 30/60 from each side, we have:
-x + 4 30/60 - 4 30/60 = 54/60 - 4 30/60
-x = -3 36/60

Divide both sides by -1:
-x/-1 = (-3 36/60)/-1
x = 3 36/60 = 3 3/5 = 3.6

The graph shows the relationship between mass and volume for pure silver. Use the graph to determine the density of pure silver
Natalija [7]

Answer:

C. Slope and 10.49 g/cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We're missing the graph itself, but I can make an educated guess:

- Assuming x = volume and y = mass:

p = \frac{m}{v}

density = mass/volume

x = volume = run

y = mass = rise

mass/volume = rise/run = slope

The slope of the line (assuming the graph is purely linear) represents mass/volume, which is the formula for density.

I had to Google the density of silver itself. Do the math from the graph for a more appropriate answer, as the graph may be less scientifically precise.
