Answer:

0.0177 = 1.77% probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.

The expected number of components tested before a defective component is found is 50, with a variance of 0.0208.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the probability of a defective computer component is 0.02. Components are randomly selected. Find the probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.

First six not defective, each with 0.98 probability.

7th defective, with 0.02 probability. So

p = (0.98)^6*0.02 = 0.0177

0.0177 = 1.77% probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.

Find the expected number and variance of the number of components tested before a defective component is found.

Inverse binomial distribution, with p = 0.02

Expected number before 1 defective(n = 1). So

E = \frac{n}{p} = \frac{1}{0.02} = 50

Variance is:

V = \frac{np}{(1-p)^2} = \frac{0.02}{(1-0.02)^2} = 0.0208

The expected number of components tested before a defective component is found is 50, with a variance of 0.0208.

Answer:

<em>XY = 92 units</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Similar Shapes</u>

Two shapes are similar if all their corresponding side measures are in the same proportion.

The triangles UVW and YVX are similar because their side lengths are in the proportion 1:2, given the tick marks provided in the drawing.

This means that the measure of VX is twice the measure of VW,

The measure of YV is twice the measure of UV

The measure of XY is twice the measure of UW

This last proportion gives the equation:

z + 46 = 2z

Solving for z:

z = 46

Thus, XY = z+46 = 92

XY = 92 units
