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.

Determine which side is the smallest in the diagram
AnnyKZ [126]

the shortest side is always opposite the smallest angle.

In triangle ABC the shortest side is AC

In triangle ADC  the shortest side is DC

DC<AC since they are in the same triangle.
