There are 5 pens in a container on your desk. Among them, 3 will write well but 2 have defective ink cartridges. You will select

2 pens (without replacement) to take to a business appointment. Select the most appropriate statement for each part (a-e) when considering calculating the probability that both pens are defective.
a. Let X: the number of defective pens selected. X is a random variable. [Select ]
b. For each pen chosen from the container, we can consider "Defective" as the success and "Working" as the failure since we are interested in both pens being defective. [ Select] -
c. X is well approximated by a Binomial Random Variable X-Bin(n=2. pi=2/5) True
d. If the first pen was replaced before the second pen was selected (sampling with replacement), then X would be very well approximated by a Binomial Random Variable X-Bin(n=2, pi=2/5) True
e. Had you been drawing 2 pens (without replacement) from a container of 25 pens, X would be better approximated by a Binomial Random Variable.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of pens = 5

Number of defective pens = 2

Number of non-defective pens = 3

A.) number of defective pens selected :

X : {0, 1, 2}

It is possible that no defective pen will be selected ; 1 defective will be chosen or both pens are defective.

2.)

Defective as Success (since selecting a defective pen is the point of interest.

3.)

Since selection is done without replacement

Probability of success per selection is different for each selection ;

Number of defective = 2

Number of observations = 5

P(success on first selection) = 2/5

P(success on second selection) = 1/4

Hence, X is not well approximated by a binomial random variable.

4.) if selection is done with replacement ; then then the probability of success per selection will be the Same for each selection made. Hence, X will be well approximated by a binomial Random variable.

5.) If sampling is done without replacement, then the the hypergeometric function will be a more effective approximation.

The greater of two consecutive integers is 15 more than twice the smaller. Find the integers.
Vlad [161]

Well, we know that the two consecutive numbers have to be negative, because if it was positive, the smaller number multiplied by two would be much greater. (unless 1 and 2). So, by guessing and checking, we will get -13 and -14 :)

Can someone please help me ASAP​
deff fn [24]

Answer:

QR = 17 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ RST is a 5- 12- 13 triangle with hypotenuse RT = 13 cm , then

TS = 5 cm and PT = 2 × 5 = 10 cm

So PS = 10 + 5 = 15 cm

PS is parallel to the vertical line from vertex Q and intersects the horizontal line projected from SR of length 20 - 12 = 8 cm

Using the right triangle formed calculate QR using Pythagoras' identity

QR² = 15² + 8² = 225 + 64 = 289 ( take square root of both sides )

QR = \sqrt{289} = 17

If y varies directly as x, and y = 25 when x = 5, find y when x = 25.
zimovet [89]
A.125
Because to get from 5 to 25 you need to multiply by 5 so 25 times five equals 125

What is the value of 7 to the 4th power
zhenek [66]

Answer:

The value is 2401

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to understand what's means 7 to the 4th power, or 7^4.

7 is the power base, the power base is the number that we are going to repeat the number of times the exponent says.

4 is the exponent, which will tell us how many times to multiply 7.

So , then we would have

1)                7 x 7 x 7 x 7

2)                  49 x 7 x 7

3)                     343 x 7

4)      finally       2401
