Approximately 12.6% of all (untreated) Jonathan apples had bitter pit in a study conducted by the botanists Ratkowsky and Martin

. (Bitter pit is a disease of apples resulting in a soggy ore, which can be caused either by overwatering the apple tree or by a calcium deficiency in the soil.) Let n be a random variable that represents the first Jonathan apple chosen at random that has bitter pit.(a) Write out a formula for the probability distribution of the random variable n. (Use p and n in your answer.)P(n) = (b) Find the probabilities that n = 3, n = 5, and n = 12. (Use 3 decimal places.)P(3) P(5) P(12) (c) Find the probability that n ≥ 5. (Use 3 decimal places.)(d) What is the expected number of apples that must be examined to find the first one with bitter pit? Hint: Use μ for the geometric distribution and round.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be a random variable that represents the first Jonathan apple chosen at random that has bitter pit.

a) P(X = n) = q(n-1)p, where q = 1 - p.

From the information given, probability if success, p = 12.6/100 = 0.126

b) for n = 3, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is

P(n = 3) = 0.096

For n = 5, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is

P(n = 5) = 0.074

For n = 12, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is

P(n = 12) = 0.8

c) For n ≥ 5, the probability value from the geometric probability distribution calculator is

P(n ≥ 5) = 0.58

d) the expected number of apples that must be examined to find the first one with bitter pit is the mean.

Mean = 1/p

Mean = 1/0.126 = 7.9

Approximately 8 apples

Answer:

-3x-3y-z=38

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the tangent plane you can use

\bigtriangledown f_x(x_0,y_0,z_0)(x-x_0)+\bigtriangledown f_y(x_0,y_0,z_0)(y-y_0)+\bigtriangledown f_z(x_0,y_0,z_0)(z-z_0)=0

the point P is (-6,-6,-2). Hence you have

(-6)(x-(-6))+(-6)(y-(-6))+(-2)(z-(-2))=0\\-6x-36-6y-36-2z-4=0\\-6x-6y-2z=76\\-3x-3y-z=38

hope this helps!!

Please help me with some Algebra 2!

Answer:

12750

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence of visitors is

50, 100, 200, 400, .....

This is a geometric sequence

with common ratio r = 2

The sum to n terms is found using

S_{n} = \frac{a(r^n-1)}{r-1} ( a is the first term )

S_{8} = \frac{50(2^8-1}{2-1} = 50 × 255 = 12750
