An automated egg carton loader has a 1% probability of cracking an egg, and a customer will complain if more than one egg per do
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

a) Binomial distribution B(n=12,p=0.01)

b) P=0.007

c) P=0.999924

d) P=0.366

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The distribution of cracked eggs per dozen should be a binomial distribution B(12,0.01), as it can model 12 independent events.

b) To calculate the probability of having a carton of dozen eggs with more than one cracked egg, we will first calculate the probabilities of having zero or one cracked egg.

P(k=0)=\binom{12}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{12}=1*0.886=0.886\\\\P(k=1)=\binom{12}{1}p^1(1-p)^{11}=12*0.01*0.99^{11}=12*0.01*0.895=0.107

Then,

P(k>1)=1-(P(k=0)+P(k=1))=1-(0.886+0.107)=1-0.993=0.007

c) In this case, the distribution is B(1200,0.01)

P(k=0)=\binom{1200}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{1200}=1* 0.000006 = 0.000006 \\\\ P(k=1)=\binom{1200}{1}p^1(1-p)^{1199}=1200*0.01*0.99^{1199}=1200*0.01* 0.000006 \\\\P(k=1)= 0.00007\\\\\\P(k\leq1)=0.000006+0.000070=0.000076\\\\\\P(k>1)=1-P(k\leq 1)=1-0.000076=0.999924

d) In this case, the distribution is B(100,0.01)

We can calculate this probability as the probability of having 0 cracked eggs in a batch of 100 eggs.

P(k=0)=\binom{100}{0}p^0(1-p)^{100}=0.99^{100}=0.366

Consider the line shown on the graph. Enter the
Semenov [28]

<h2>Solution -</h2>

From the graph, we concluded that line passes through the points (0, 3) and (1, 4) respectively.

So, slope of the line (m) passing through the points (a, b) and (c, d) is

m = d - b/ c - a

<h3>So, on substituting the values, we get </h3>

m = 4 - 3 / 1 - 0 = 1/1 = 1

Also, line makes an intercept of 3 units in positive direction of y - axis.

So, c = 3

<h3>So, Equation of line is given by</h3>

y = mx + c

y = 1 × x + 3

<h3>y = x + 3</h3>

<h3>Alternative Method :-</h3>

We know, Equation of line passing through the points (a,b) and (c, d) is given by

y - b = d - b / c - a (x - a)

<h3>Here,</h3>

a = 0

b = 3

c = 1

d = 4

<h3>So, on substituting these values in above result, we get :-</h3>

y - 3 = 4 - 3 /1 - 0 ( x - 0 )

y - 3 = 1/1 ( x - 0 )

y - 3 = x

<h3>y = x + 3</h3>

<h3>Different forms of equations of a straight line :-</h3>

1. Equations of horizontal and vertical lines

Equation of line parallel to x - axis passes through the point (a, b) is y = b.

Equation of line parallel to y - axis passes through the point (a, b) is x = a.

<h3>2. Point-slope form equation of line</h3>

Equation of line passing through the point (a, b) having slope m isy - b = m(x - a)

<h3>3. Slope-intercept form equation of line</h3>

Equation of line which makes an intercept of c units on y axis and having slope m is y = mx + c.

<h3>4. Intercept Form of Line</h3>

Equation of line which makes an intercept of a and b units on x - axis and y axis respectively is x/a + y/b = 1.

<h3>5. Normal form of Line</h3>

Equation of line which is at a distance of p units from the origin and perpendicular makes an angle B with the positive X-axis is x cosB + y sinB = p.
