Answer:

0.3898 = 38.98% probability that there will be 4 failures

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence of Bernoulli trials forms the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Let the probability of success on a Bernoulli trial be 0.26.

This means that $p = 0.26$

a. In five Bernoulli trials, what is the probability that there will be 4 failures?

Five trials means that $n = 5$

4 failures, so 1 success, and we have to find P(X = 1).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 1) = C_{5,1}.(0.26)^{1}.(0.74)^{4} = 0.3898$

0.3898 = 38.98% probability that there will be 4 failures

Consider the differential equation:

Wewaii [24]

(a) Take the Laplace transform of both sides:

$2y''(t)+ty'(t)-2y(t)=14$

$\implies 2(s^2Y(s)-sy(0)-y'(0))-(Y(s)+sY'(s))-2Y(s)=\dfrac{14}s$

where the transform of $ty'(t)$ comes from

$L[ty'(t)]=-(L[y'(t)])'=-(sY(s)-y(0))'=-Y(s)-sY'(s)$

This yields the linear ODE,

$-sY'(s)+(2s^2-3)Y(s)=\dfrac{14}s$

Divides both sides by $-s$ :

$Y'(s)+\dfrac{3-2s^2}sY(s)=-\dfrac{14}{s^2}$

Find the integrating factor:

$\displaystyle\int\frac{3-2s^2}s\,\mathrm ds=3\ln|s|-s^2+C$

Multiply both sides of the ODE by $e^{3\ln|s|-s^2}=s^3e^{-s^2}$ :

$s^3e^{-s^2}Y'(s)+(3s^2-2s^4)e^{-s^2}Y(s)=-14se^{-s^2}$

The left side condenses into the derivative of a product:

$\left(s^3e^{-s^2}Y(s)\right)'=-14se^{-s^2}$

Integrate both sides and solve for $Y(s)$ :

$s^3e^{-s^2}Y(s)=7e^{-s^2}+C$

$Y(s)=\dfrac{7+Ce^{s^2}}{s^3}$

(b) Taking the inverse transform of both sides gives

$y(t)=\dfrac{7t^2}2+C\,L^{-1}\left[\dfrac{e^{s^2}}{s^3}\right]$

I don't know whether the remaining inverse transform can be resolved, but using the principle of superposition, we know that $\frac{7t^2}2$ is one solution to the original ODE.

$y(t)=\dfrac{7t^2}2\implies y'(t)=7t\implies y''(t)=7$

Substitute these into the ODE to see everything checks out:

$2\cdot7+t\cdot7t-2\cdot\dfrac{7t^2}2=14$

Ashton surveyed some of the employees at his company about their cell phone habits. From the data, he concluded that most employ

SOVA2 [1]

It can't be A. since if you only look at managers, you are missing all the sales executives.

It may be C. this option is more random but doesn't guarantee that you will represent both groups of employee's. Also, each time you would conduct the survey, you will receive the exact same results since it is the same people.

It isn't D. for the exact same reason as A. but you're missing managers now.

Therefore the answer is B. Some managers and some sales executives selected at random. This way you get a sample from both categories, and within those groups, it is randomly selected.

I hope this helps!
