statuscvo [17]

Answer:

(a) The probability that exactly 5 of the 6 consumers recognize the brand name is 0.0369.

(b) The probability that all of the selected consumers recognize the brand name is 0.0041.

(c) The probability that at least 5 of the selected consumers recognize the brand name is 0.041.

(d) The events of 5 customers recognizing the brand name is unusual.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of consumer's who recognize the brand.

The probability of the random variable X is, P (X) = p = 0.40.

A random sample of size, n = 6 consumers are selected.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

(a)

Compute the value of P (X = 5) as follows:

$P(X=5)={6\choose 5}0.40^{5}(1-0.40)^{6-5}\\=6\times0.01024\times0.60\\=0.036864\\\approx0.0369$

Thus, the probability that exactly 5 of the 6 consumers recognize the brand name is 0.0369.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X = 6) as follows:

$P(X=6)={6\choose 6}0.40^{6}(1-0.40)^{6-6}\\=1\times 0.004096\times1\\=0.004096\\\approx0.0041$

Thus, the probability that all of the selected consumers recognize the brand name is 0.0041.

(c)

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 5) as follows:

P (X ≥ 5) = P (X = 5) + P (X = 6)

= 0.0369 + 0.0041

= 0.041

Thus, the probability that at least 5 of the selected consumers recognize the brand name is 0.041.

(d)

An event is considered unusual if the probability of its occurrence is less than 0.05.

The probability of 5 customers recognizing the brand name is 0.0369.

This probability value is less than 0.05.

Thus, the events of 5 customers recognizing the brand name is unusual.

9. The regular price of an item at a store is p

Fittoniya [83]

Answer: C: Expression B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the item is $100. 20% of 100 is equal to 100 (20/100)

When you simplify, it equals 20. So 20% of 100 is 20. This $20 is the amount of discount you receive.

So you have to subtract $20 from the $100 to find the sale price. The sale price is $80.

Now plug in 100 for p in each equation. The equation that equals 80 is the answer.

Only equation B and D equals 80 when 100 is plugged in.

Verify by direct substitution that the given power series is a solution of the indicated differential equation. [Hint: For a pow

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The given power series $y =\sum^{\infty}_{n=0} {(-1)^n x^{2n}}$ is a solution of the differential equation (1+x^2)y' + 2xy = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very trivial exercise, follow the steps below for the solution:

Step 1: Since n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ........, Substitute the values of n into equation (1) below.

$y =\sum^{\infty}_{n=0} {(-1)^n x^{2n}}$ .....................(1)

$y = 1 - x^2 + x^4 - x^6 + x^8.........$

Step 2: Find the derivative of y, i.e. y'

$y' = -2x + 4x^3 - 6x^5 + 8x^7 .............$

Step 3: Substitute y and y' into equation (2) below:

$(1+x^2)y' + 2xy = 0\\\\(1+x^2)(-2x + 4x^3 - 6x^5 + 8x^7......) + 2x(1 - x^2 + x^4 - x^6 + x^8.......) = 0\\\\-2x+ 4x^3 - 6x^5 + 8x^7........ - 2x^3 +4x^5 - 6x^7 + 8x^9 ......+ 2x - 2x^3 + 2x^5 - 2x^7 + 2x^9...... = 0\\\\0 = 0$

(Verified)

Since the LHS = RHS = 0, the given power series $y =\sum^{\infty}_{n=0} {(-1)^n x^{2n}}$ is a solution of the differential equation (1+x^2)y' + 2xy = 0

Two lines are intersecting. What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

x = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, you set the equations as equal to each other:

$x+23 = 2x+4$

Then you simplify:

$23 = 2x + 4 - x\\23 = x + 4\\23-4 = x\\19=x$

How can you use 45 divided by 3 to help with 4.5 divided by 3

Vesnalui [34]

You could use the answer to 45 / 3 to write down part of the answer to 4.5 / 3. Then you would add the decimal where it needs to be.

Example:

56 / 4 = 14

5.6 / 4 = 1.4
