Answer:

0.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

n : ___ 0 _____ 1 ____ 2 ____ 3 ____ 4

P(n) : 0.82___ 0.11 ___0.04 _0.02 ___0.01

The expected number of defect in a shipment can be obtained using the expected value formula :

Expected value, E(X) = Σx*p(x)

Σx*p(x) = (0*0.82) + (1*0.11) + (2*0.04) + (3*0.02) + (4*0.01)

E(X) = 0.29

Hence, the expected number of defect in shipment is 0.29

It wants you to come up with three events. You'll place them on the line right above, where you think they would go.

For example, if your first event was "seeing a unicorn" you would plot it by "impossible." Some things have a fifty fifty chance, or are likely, like you finding a penny. Use any scenario you can think of. How likely is it that it would come true?

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-6,5) and (3,−5). Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope fo
elena55 [62]

Answer:

\displaystyle y-5=-\frac{10}{9}(x+6)

Or:

\displaystyle y+5=-\frac{10}{9}(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the equation of a line that passes through the points (-6, 5) and (3, -5) in point-slope form.

Point-slope form is given by:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Thus, first, we need to find the slope. We can use the slope formula:

\displaystyle m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{(-5)-(5)}{(3)-(-6)}=\frac{-10}{9}=-\frac{10}{9}

Next, we can use either of the two given points. I'll use (-6, 5). So, let (-6, 5) be (<em>x₁, y₁</em>). Substitute:

\displaystyle y-(5)=-\frac{10}{9}(x-(-6))

Or, fully simplified:

\displaystyle y-5=\frac{-10}{9}(x+6)

Using the other point, we will acquire:

\displaystyle y-(-5)=-\frac{10}{9}(x-(3))

Or, simplified:

\displaystyle y+5=-\frac{10}{9}(x-3)

AleksAgata [21]
Let's actually find the roots, using the quadratic formula:

<span>p(x)=x^2+x+3 gives us a=1, b=1 and c=3.

                 -1 plus or minus sqrt(1^2-4(1)(3))
Then x = -----------------------------------------------          
                                           2

The discriminant here is negative, so the roots x will be complex:

              -1 plus or minus sqrt(-11)      -1 plus or minus i*sqrt(11)
       x = ---------------------------------- = -------------------------------------
                          2                                                 2

These are irrational roots; they cannot be expressed as the ratios of integers.</span>
