Answer:

X=5

Step-by-step explanation:

(step 1) 2 - 3x = -x - 8

-3x + 2 = -x -8

(step 2)

-3x + 2 = -x - 8

-3 + 2 - 2 = -x -8 -2

(step 3)

-3x = -x- 10

(step 4)

-3 + x = -x -10 +x

(step 5)

-2x = -10

Answer

x = 5

Based on the number of voids, a ferrite slab is classified as either high, medium, or low. Historically, 5% of the slabs are cla

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

(a) Name: Multinomial distribution

Parameters: $p_1 = 5\%$ $p_2 = 85\%$ $p_3 = 10\%$ $n = 20$

(b) Range: $\{(x,y,z)| x + y + z=20\}$

Parameters: $p_1 = 5\%$ $n = 20$

$(d)\ E(x) = 1$ $Var(x) = 0.95$

$(e)\ P(X = 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) = 0$

$(f)\ P(X \le 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) =0.07195$

$(g)\ P(X \le 1) = 0.7359$

$(h)\ E(Y) = 17$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$p_1 = 5\%$

$p_2 = 85\%$

$p_3 = 10\%$

$n = 20$

$X \to$ High Slabs

$Y \to$ Medium Slabs

$Z \to$ Low Slabs

Solving (a): Names and values of joint pdf of X, Y and Z

Given that:

$X \to$ Number of voids considered as high slabs

$Y \to$ Number of voids considered as medium slabs

$Z \to$ Number of voids considered as low slabs

Since the variables are more than 2 (2 means binomial), then the name is multinomial distribution

The parameters are:

$p_1 = 5\%$ $p_2 = 85\%$ $p_3 = 10\%$ $n = 20$

And the mass function is:

$f_{XYZ} = P(X = x; Y = y; Z = z) = \frac{n!}{x!y!z!} * p_1^xp_2^yp_3^z$

Solving (b): The range of the joint pdf of X, Y and Z

Given that:

$n = 20$

The number of voids (x, y and z) cannot be negative and they must be integers; So:

$x + y + z = n$

$x + y + z = 20$

Hence, the range is:

$\{(x,y,z)| x + y + z=20\}$

Solving (c): Names and values of marginal pdf of X

We have the following parameters attributed to X:

$p_1 = 5\%$ and $n = 20$

Hence, the name is: Binomial distribution

Solving (d): E(x) and Var(x)

In (c), we have:

$p_1 = 5\%$ and $n = 20$

$E(x) = p_1* n$

$E(x) = 5\% * 20$

$E(x) = 1$

$Var(x) = E(x) * (1 - p_1)$

$Var(x) = 1 * (1 - 5\%)$

$Var(x) = 1 * 0.95$

$Var(x) = 0.95$

$(e)\ P(X = 1, Y = 17, Z = 3)$

In (b), we have: $x + y + z = 20$

However, the given values of x in this question implies that:

$x + y + z = 1 + 17 + 3$

$x + y + z = 21$

Hence:

$P(X = 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) = 0$

$(f)\ P{X \le 1, Y = 17, Z = 3)$

This question implies that:

$P(X \le 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) =P(X = 0, Y = 17, Z = 3) + P(X = 1, Y = 17, Z = 3)$

Because

$0, 1 \le 1$ --- for x

In (e), we have:

$P(X = 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) = 0$

So:

$P(X \le 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) =P(X = 0, Y = 17, Z = 3) +0$

$P(X \le 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) =P(X = 0, Y = 17, Z = 3)$

In (a), we have:

$f_{XYZ} = P(X = x; Y = y; Z = z) = \frac{n!}{x!y!z!} * p_1^xp_2^yp_3^z$

So:

$P(X=0; Y=17; Z = 3) = \frac{20!}{0! * 17! * 3!} * (5\%)^0 * (85\%)^{17} * (10\%)^{3}$

$P(X=0; Y=17; Z = 3) = \frac{20!}{1 * 17! * 3!} * 1 * (85\%)^{17} * (10\%)^{3}$

$P(X=0; Y=17; Z = 3) = \frac{20!}{17! * 3!} * (85\%)^{17} * (10\%)^{3}$

Expand

$P(X=0; Y=17; Z = 3) = \frac{20*19*18*17!}{17! * 3*2*1} * (85\%)^{17} * (10\%)^{3}$

$P(X=0; Y=17; Z = 3) = \frac{20*19*18}{6} * (85\%)^{17} * (10\%)^{3}$

$P(X=0; Y=17; Z = 3) = 20*19*3 * (85\%)^{17} * (10\%)^{3}$

Using a calculator, we have:

$P(X=0; Y=17; Z = 3) = 0.07195$

So:

$P(X \le 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) =P(X = 0, Y = 17, Z = 3)$

$P(X \le 1, Y = 17, Z = 3) =0.07195$

$(g)\ P(X \le 1)$

This implies that:

$P(X \le 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In (c), we established that X is a binomial distribution with the following parameters:

$p_1 = 5\%$ $n = 20$

Such that:

$P(X=x) = ^nC_x * p_1^x * (1 - p_1)^{n - x}$

So:

$P(X=0) = ^{20}C_0 * (5\%)^0 * (1 - 5\%)^{20 - 0}$

$P(X=0) = ^{20}C_0 * 1 * (1 - 5\%)^{20}$

$P(X=0) = 1 * 1 * (95\%)^{20}$

$P(X=0) = 0.3585$

$P(X=1) = ^{20}C_1 * (5\%)^1 * (1 - 5\%)^{20 - 1}$

$P(X=1) = 20 * (5\%)* (1 - 5\%)^{19}$

$P(X=1) = 0.3774$

So:

$P(X \le 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

$P(X \le 1) = 0.3585 + 0.3774$

$P(X \le 1) = 0.7359$

$(h)\ E(Y)$

Y has the following parameters

$p_2 = 85\%$ and $n = 20$

$E(Y) = p_2 * n$

$E(Y) = 85\% * 20$

$E(Y) = 17$

The temperature at a point (x, y) is T(x, y), measured in degrees Celsius. A bug crawls so that its position after t seconds is

aniked [119]

Answer:

10.50°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x = 2 + t , y = 1 + 1/2t where x and y are measured in centimeters. Also, the temperature function satisfies Tx(2, 2) = 9 and Ty(2, 2) = 3

The rate of change in temperature of the bug path can be expressed using the composite formula:

dT/dt = Tx(dx/dt) + Ty(dy/dt)

If x = 2+t; dx/dt = 1

If y = 1+12t; dy/dt = 1/2

Substituting the parameters gotten into dT/dt we will have;

dT/dt = 9(1)+3(1/2)

dT/dt = 9+1.5

dT/dt = 10.50°C/s

Hence the rate at which the temperature is rising along the bug's path is 10.50°C/s

6. An urn contains 15 red balls and 8 blue balls. In each draw, one ball is extracted at random. It is then returned to the urn,

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

P(C4) = 0.0711

Step-by-step explanation:

consider the first draw = 15/23 since it cannot be a blue ball

The second draw = 21/29 since 6 more red balls will be added after the draw since a blue ball cannot be drawn

the third draw = 27/35 since 6 more red balls will be added after each draw since a blue ball cannot be drawn

therefore the total number of red balls will be = 15 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 33 red balls after the 4th draw. the total ball now in the urn= 33 red + 4 blue = 41

Hence the probability of drawing a blue ball at the fourth draw after drawing red balls at the previous attempts = 8/41

P(C4) = P ( fourth ball is blue ) * P( first ball red)*P(second ball red) *P(third ball red )

= (8/41) * (15/23) * (21/29)* (27/35) = 0.0711
