Answer:

0.2611 = 26.11% probability that exactly 2 calculators are defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each calculator, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a calculator being defective is independent of any other calculator, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

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.

5% of calculators coming out of the production lines have a defect.

This means that p = 0.05

Fifty calculators are randomly selected from the production line and tested for defects.

This means that n = 50

What is the probability that exactly 2 calculators are defective?

This is P(X = 2). So

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

P(X = 2) = C_{50,2}.(0.05)^{2}.(0.95)^{48} = 0.2611

0.2611 = 26.11% probability that exactly 2 calculators are defective.

The total number of? restaurant-purchased meals that the average person will eat in a? restaurant, in a? car, or at home in a ye
zmey [24]

Answer:

<em>The number of restaurant-purchased meals eaten in a restaurant is 75, the number eaten in a car is 33 and the number eaten at home is 55.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the number of meals eaten in a restaurant is x , in a car is y and at home is z

The total number of meals eaten in a restaurant, in a car or at home is given as 163. So, the first equation will be......

x+y+z=163 .............................(1)

The total number meals eaten in a car or at home exceeds the number eaten in a restaurant by 13. So, the second equation will be......

y+z=x+13 ................................(2)

Twenty more restaurant-purchased meals will be eaten in a restaurant than at home. So, the third equation will be......

x= z+20..................................(3)

First, <u>substituting equation (2) into equation (1)</u>, we will get........

x+(x+13)=163\\ \\ \Rightarrow 2x+13=163\\ \\ \Rightarrow 2x=163-13=150\\ \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{150}{2}=75

<em>Now plugging this x=75 into equation (3)</em>, we will get......

75=z+20\\ \\ \Rightarrow z=75-20= 55

<em>Plugging x=75 and z=55 into equation (1)</em> .........

75+y+55=163\\ \\ \Rightarrow y+130=163\\ \\ \Rightarrow y=163-130=33

So, the number of restaurant-purchased meals eaten in a restaurant is 75, the number eaten in a car is 33 and the number eaten at home is 55.

Answer:

  C  f(x) = {4e^x -5, ..., -x +7, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest portion to check is the constant section in the interval [0, 6]. All of the function definitions agree on that, so that doesn't help choose the right answer.

__

Next easiest is the linear section at the right. It has a negative slope. Extension of the line to the y-axis shows it has a positive y-intercept. This eliminates choices A and D.

__

The horizontal asymptote of the exponential portion at the left is -5. Both of the remaining choices B and C agree on that. The exponential is increasing at an increasing rate, so its coefficient is positive. This eliminates choice B.

The appropriate description of the function on the graph is offered by choice C.

_____

The graph below plots the function. We note that the given graph seems to show the exponential curve incorrectly.
