A large stockpile of used pumps contains 20% that are currently unusable and need to be repaired. A repairman is sent to the sto

ckpile with three repair kits. He selects pumps at random and tests them one at a time. If a pump works, he goes on to the next one. If a pump doesn't work, he uses one of his repair kits on it. Suppose that it takes 10 minutes to test whether a pump works, and 20 minutes to repair a pump that does not work. The expected value and variance of the total time it takes the repairman to use up his three kits are, respectively:____.

Answer:

Expected value = 190

Variance = 4000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the number of the trials until the third success of the bad pump.

This implies that X is a negative binomial distribution having θ = 20% = 0.2.

Now, if for example it will take X trials to use up the three pumps, then the total time is 10 min/trials + extra 10 minutes for the 3 bad pumps

This means the total time is written as;

T = 10X + (10 + 10 + 20)

T = 10X + 40

Mean which is also expected value of X is;

μ_x = 3/0.2 = 15

Variance of X is; σ²_x = 40

Thus;

Mean of T will be;

μ_T = 10μ_x + 40

μ_T = 10(15) + 40

μ_T = 190

Also, variance of T will be;

σ²_T = 10²•σ²_x

σ²_T = 100 × 40

σ²_T = 4000

What is the surface area of this design 5,8,4,8,4 inch
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Surface area is the sum of the areas of all faces (or surfaces) on a 3D shape. A cuboid has 6 rectangular faces. To find the surface area of a cuboid, add the areas of all 6 faces. We can also label the length (l), width (w), and height (h) of the prism and use the formula, SA=2lw+2lh+2hw, to find the surface area.

What is the number of square units in the area of the triangle is vertices are points A ( 2,0), B( 6,0) and C (8,5)
lakkis [162]

From points (2, 0) and (6, 0), you can get base = 6 - 2 = 4.

From point (8, 5), you get a height of length 5.

A = bh/2 = 4 * 5/2 = 10

Area = 10 square units

Consider the polynomial equation x(x - 3)(x + 6) (x-7) -0. Which of the following are zoros of the
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The zeros are : 0, 3, -6, 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Zeros of a polynomial is the values at which the polynomial becomes zero. They are also called the roots of the polynomial.

When (x - a)(x - b) = 0, we can say that either (x - a) = 0 or (x - b) = 0. At least one zero renders the whole equation to be zero.

Now, we are given that: x. (x - 3). (x + 6). (x - 7) = 0

⇒ To make the equation zero, at least one of the following should be true:

x = 0

x - 3 = 0  ⇒ x = 3

x + 6 = 0 ⇒ x = -6

x - 7 = 0 ⇒  x = 7

Therefore, x can take any one of the above values and that would make the polynomial zero.
