A manufactured lot of buggy whips has 20 items, of which 5 are defective. A random sample of 5 items is chosen to be inspected.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

a. 39.55%

b. 44.02%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

n = 5

x = 1

p = 5/20 = 0.25

to. If the sampling is done with replacement.

We apply the binomial distribution formula, which is as follows:

P = nCx * (p ^ x) * ((1-p) ^ (n-x))

Where nCx, is a combination, and is equal to:

nCx = n! / x! * (n-x)!

replacing we have:

5C1 = 5! / 1! * 4! = 5

replacing in the main formula:

P = 5 * (0.25 ^ 1) * ((1- 0.25) ^ (5-1))

P = 0.3955

that is, without replacing the probability is 39.55%

b. if the sampling is done without replacement.

Here it is a little different from the previous one, but what you should do is calculate three cases,

the first was the one at point a, when n = 5 and x = 1

5C1 = 5! / 1! * 4! = 5

the second is when n = 20 and x = 5, this is all possible scenarios.

20C5 = 20! / 5! * 15! = 15504

and the third is when n = 15 (20-5) and x = 4 (5-1), which corresponds to the cases when none were damaged

15C4 = 15! / 4! * 11! = 1365

In the end, it would be:

P = (5C1 * 15C4) / 20C5

Replacing:

P = 5 * 1365/15504

P = 0.4402

Which means that without replacing the probability is 44.02%

In 4 hours, an experienced cook prepares enough pies to supply a local restaurant's daily order. Another cook prepares the sam

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

$9\frac{1}{3}hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let third cook take x hours to prepare the same number of pies y alone

Let y be the number of pies

In 1 hour ,third cook prepare pies= $\frac{y}{x}$

One experienced cook takes time to prepare enough pies =4 hours

In 1 hour , cook prepare pies= $\frac{y}{4}$

Another cook takes time to prepare same number of pies =7 hours

In 1 hour , another cook prepare pies= $\frac{y}{7}$

All three cooks take time to prepare the same number of pies=2 hours

In 1 hour,all three cooks prepare pies= $\frac{y}{2}$

According to question

$\frac{y}{4}+\frac{y}{7}+\frac{y}{x}=\frac{y}{2}$

$y(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{x})=\frac{y}{2}$

$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{7}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{7}$

$\frac{1}{x}=\frac{14-7-4}{28}=\frac{3}{28}$

$x=\frac{28}{3}=9\frac{1}{3}$ hours

Hence, the third cook takes time to prepare the same number of pies alone= $9\frac{1}{3}hours$

A sandbox has a perimeter of 21 1/2 feet. If the length is 5 1/4 feet, what is the area of the sand box?

LiRa [457]

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of length and width, so the sum of length and width is half the perimeter, 10 3/4 ft.

The width will be the difference between this and the length, hence 5 1/2 ft.

The area is the product of length and width.
A = length×width
A = (5.25 ft)×(5.5 ft) = 28.875 ft²

The area of the sandbox is 28 7/8 ft².
