Mathematics
1 answer:
Finger [1]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<h2>x = 7</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest number is 5. Therefore x ≥ 6.

Convert numbers from x system to decimal system:

42_x=4x+2\\\\53_x=5x+3\\\\125_x=1x^2+2x+5

Solve the equation for x:

42_x+53_x=125_x\Rightarrow4x+2+5x+3=x^2+2x+5\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(4x+5x)+(2+3)=x^2+2x+5\\\\9x+5=x^2+2x+5\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\\\9x=x^2+2x\qquad\text{subtract}\ 9x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\0=x^2-7x\\\\x^2-7x=0\qquad\text{distributive}\\\\x(x-7)=0\iff x=0\ \vee\ x-7=0\\\\x=0

A production process produces 2% defective parts. a sample of 5 parts from the production is selected. what is the probability t
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Probability of a sample that contains exactly two defective parts is .0037 or .37%

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know if P is the probability of achieving k results in n trials then probability formula is P = \binom{n}{k}p^{K}q^{n-k}

In this formula n = number of trials

                        k = number of success

                        (n-k) = number of failures

                         p = probability of success in one trial

                         q = (1-p) = probability of failure in one trial

In this sum n = 5

                  k = 2

number failures (n-k) = (5-2) = 3

                            p = 2% which can be written as .02

                            q = 98% Which can be written as .98

Now putting these values in the formula

                        P = \binom{5}{2}(.02)^{2}(.98)^{5-2}

                        P = \binom{5}{2}(.02)^{2}(.98)^{3}

                   \binom{5}{2}= 5!/3!2!    

                                              = 5×4×3×2×1/3×2×1×2×1

                                              = 5×2 =10

                                       P = 10×(.02)²×(.98)³

                                          = .0037 or .37%
