Answer:

P(X = 2) = 0.2613

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

p = 4\% --- proportion

x = 2 --- defective motors

n = 60 --- sample size

Required

Determine the probability that exactly 2 is defective

This follows a Poisson distribution and will be solved using:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-u} u^x}{x!}

Where

u = Expected number of occurrence, and it is calculated as:

u = np

u = 60 * 4\%

u = 60 * 0.04

u = 2.4

So:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-u} u^x}{x!} becomes

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-2.4}2.4^{2}}{2!}

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-2.4}* 5.76}{2}

P(X = 2) = e^{-2.4}* 2.88

P(X = 2) = 0.09071795328* 2.88

P(X = 2) = 0.26126770544

P(X = 2) = 0.2613

<em>Hence, the probability that exactly 2 out of 60 will be defective is 0.2613</em>

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Answer:

2x • (x2 - 2xy + 5x - 10y)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

(((2•(x3))+(10•(x2)))-(22x2•y))-20xy

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

(((2 • (x3)) +  (2•5x2)) -  22x2y) -  20xy

Step  3  :

Equation at the end of step  3  :

((2x3 +  (2•5x2)) -  22x2y) -  20xy

Step  4  :

Step  5  :

Pulling out like terms :

5.1     Pull out like factors :

 2x3 - 4x2y + 10x2 - 20xy  =

2x • (x2 - 2xy + 5x - 10y)

Final result :

2x • (x2 - 2xy + 5x - 10y)
