Answer:

$x=\frac{3\sqrt{2}-3 }{2}$

$x=-\frac{3\sqrt{2}-3 }{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Open the brackets first:

$4x^2+9=18-12x$

Simplify:

$4x^2+12x-9=0$

It is determined that this can't be factored, so rewrite the equation so you can complete the square.

$x^2+3x=\frac{9}{4}$

Take the square of 1.5 and add it to both sides:

$x^2 + 3x+ \frac{9}{4} =\frac{9}4} +\frac{9}{4}$

Factor:

$(x+\frac{3}{2})^2=\frac{9}{2}$

$x+\frac{3}{2} = \frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2 }$

or $x+\frac{3}{2} =-\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}$

So $x=\frac{3\sqrt{2}-3 }{2}$

or $x=-\frac{3\sqrt{2}-3 }{2}$

Question 13

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The c intercept is 42

The t intercepts are: 6, -1 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$c(t) = (t - 6)(t +1)(t-7)$

Solving (a): The c intercept

Simply set t to 0

$c(t) = (t - 6)(t +1)(t-7)$

$c(0) = (0 - 6)(0 +1)(0-7)$

$c(0) = (- 6)(1)(-7)$

$c(0) = 42$

Solving (b): The t intercept

Simply set c(t) to 0

$c(t) = (t - 6)(t +1)(t-7)$

$(t - 6)(t +1)(t-7) = 0$

Split

$t - 6= 0,\ \ t +1= 0,\ \ t-7 = 0$

Solve for t

$t = 6,\ \ t =-1,\ \ t=7$

A manufacturer must test that his bolts are 4.00 cm long when they come off the assembly line. He must recalibrate his machines

storchak [24]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is $H_o: \mu = 4$ .

The alternate hypothesis is $H_a: \mu \neq 4$

The pvalue of the test is 0.0182 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence to show that the manufacturer needs to recalibrate the machines.

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer must test that his bolts are 4.00 cm long when they come off the assembly line.

This means that the null hypothesis is that they are 4.00 cm long, that is:

$H_o: \mu = 4$

At the alternate hypothesis we test if it is different. So

$H_a: \mu \neq 4$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

4 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 4$

After sampling 196 randomly selected bolts off the assembly line, he calculates the sample mean to be 4.14 cm.

This means that $n = 196, X = 4.14$

He knows that the population standard deviation is 0.83 cm.

This means that $\sigma = 0.83$

Value of the test statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{4.14 - 4}{\frac{0.83}{\sqrt{196}}}$

$z = 2.36$

Pvalue of the test and decision:

The pvalue of the test is the probability that the sample mean is different by at least 4.14 - 4 = 0.14 from the target value, which is P(|z| > 2.36), which is 2 multiplied by the pvalue of z = -2.36.

Looking at the z-table, z = -2.36 has a pvalue of 0.0091

2*0.0091 = 0.0182

The pvalue of the test is 0.0182 < 0.05, which means that there is sufficient evidence to show that the manufacturer needs to recalibrate the machines.

Based on the number of voids, a ferrite slab is classified as either high, medium, or low. Historically, 5% of the slabs are cla

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

(a) Name: Multinomial distribution

Parameters: $p_1 = 5\%$ $p_2 = 85\%$ $p_3 = 10\%$ $n = 20$

(b) Range: $\{(x,y,z)| x + y + z=20\}$

Parameters: $p_1 = 5\%$ $n = 20$

$(d)\ E(x) = 1$ $Var(x) = 0.95$

$(e)\ P(X = 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) = 0$

$(f)\ P(X \le 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) =0.07195$

$(g)\ P(X \le 1) = 0.7359$

$(h)\ E(Y) = 17$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p_1 = 5\%$

$p_2 = 85\%$

$p_3 = 10\%$

$n = 20$

$X \to$ High Slabs

$Y \to$ Medium Slabs

$Z \to$ Low Slabs

Solving (a): Names and values of joint pdf of X, Y and Z

Given that:

$X \to$ Number of voids considered as high slabs

$Y \to$ Number of voids considered as medium slabs

$Z \to$ Number of voids considered as low slabs

Since the variables are more than 2 (2 means binomial), then the name is multinomial distribution

The parameters are:

$p_1 = 5\%$ $p_2 = 85\%$ $p_3 = 10\%$ $n = 20$

And the mass function is:

$f_{XYZ} = P(X = x; Y = y; Z = z) = \frac{n!}{x!y!z!} * p_1^xp_2^yp_3^z$

Solving (b): The range of the joint pdf of X, Y and Z

Given that:

$n = 20$

The number of voids (x, y and z) cannot be negative and they must be integers; So:

$x + y + z = n$

$x + y + z = 20$

Hence, the range is:

$\{(x,y,z)| x + y + z=20\}$

Solving (c): Names and values of marginal pdf of X

We have the following parameters attributed to X:

$p_1 = 5\%$ and $n = 20$

Hence, the name is: Binomial distribution

Solving (d): E(x) and Var(x)

In (c), we have:

$p_1 = 5\%$ and $n = 20$

$E(x) = p_1* n$

$E(x) = 5\% * 20$

$E(x) = 1$

$Var(x) = E(x) * (1 - p_1)$

$Var(x) = 1 * (1 - 5\%)$

$Var(x) = 1 * 0.95$

$Var(x) = 0.95$

$(e)\ P(X = 1, Y = 17, Z = 3)$

In (b), we have: $x + y + z = 20$

However, the given values of x in this question implies that:

$x + y + z = 1 + 17 + 3$

$x + y + z = 21$

Hence:

$P(X = 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) = 0$

$(f)\ P{X \le 1, Y = 17, Z = 3)$

This question implies that:

$P(X \le 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) =P(X = 0, Y = 17, Z = 3) + P(X = 1, Y = 17, Z = 3)$

Because

$0, 1 \le 1$ --- for x

In (e), we have:

$P(X = 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) = 0$

So:

$P(X \le 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) =P(X = 0, Y = 17, Z = 3) +0$

$P(X \le 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) =P(X = 0, Y = 17, Z = 3)$

In (a), we have:

$f_{XYZ} = P(X = x; Y = y; Z = z) = \frac{n!}{x!y!z!} * p_1^xp_2^yp_3^z$

So:

$P(X=0; Y=17; Z = 3) = \frac{20!}{0! * 17! * 3!} * (5\%)^0 * (85\%)^{17} * (10\%)^{3}$

$P(X=0; Y=17; Z = 3) = \frac{20!}{1 * 17! * 3!} * 1 * (85\%)^{17} * (10\%)^{3}$

$P(X=0; Y=17; Z = 3) = \frac{20!}{17! * 3!} * (85\%)^{17} * (10\%)^{3}$

Expand

$P(X=0; Y=17; Z = 3) = \frac{20*19*18*17!}{17! * 3*2*1} * (85\%)^{17} * (10\%)^{3}$

$P(X=0; Y=17; Z = 3) = \frac{20*19*18}{6} * (85\%)^{17} * (10\%)^{3}$

$P(X=0; Y=17; Z = 3) = 20*19*3 * (85\%)^{17} * (10\%)^{3}$

Using a calculator, we have:

$P(X=0; Y=17; Z = 3) = 0.07195$

So:

$P(X \le 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) =P(X = 0, Y = 17, Z = 3)$

$P(X \le 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) =0.07195$

$(g)\ P(X \le 1)$

This implies that:

$P(X \le 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In (c), we established that X is a binomial distribution with the following parameters:

$p_1 = 5\%$ $n = 20$

Such that:

$P(X=x) = ^nC_x * p_1^x * (1 - p_1)^{n - x}$

So:

$P(X=0) = ^{20}C_0 * (5\%)^0 * (1 - 5\%)^{20 - 0}$

$P(X=0) = ^{20}C_0 * 1 * (1 - 5\%)^{20}$

$P(X=0) = 1 * 1 * (95\%)^{20}$

$P(X=0) = 0.3585$

$P(X=1) = ^{20}C_1 * (5\%)^1 * (1 - 5\%)^{20 - 1}$

$P(X=1) = 20 * (5\%)* (1 - 5\%)^{19}$

$P(X=1) = 0.3774$

So:

$P(X \le 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

$P(X \le 1) = 0.3585 + 0.3774$

$P(X \le 1) = 0.7359$

$(h)\ E(Y)$

Y has the following parameters

$p_2 = 85\%$ and $n = 20$

$E(Y) = p_2 * n$

$E(Y) = 85\% * 20$

$E(Y) = 17$
