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.

g Suppose a factory production line uses 3 machines, A, B, and C for making bolts. The total output from the line is distributed
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The probability that it came from A, given that is defective is 0.362.

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the events:

A: The element comes from A.

B: The element comes from B.

C: The element comes from C.

D: The elemens is defective.

We are given that P(A) = 0.25, P(B) = 0.35, P(C) = 0.4. Recall that since the element comes from only one of the machines, if an element is defective, it comes either from A, B or C. Using the probability axioms, we can calculate that

P(D) = P(A\cap D) + P(B\cap D) + P(C\cap D)

Recall that given events E,F the conditional probability of E given F is defined as

P(E|F) = \frac{P(E\cap F)}{P(F)}, from where we deduce that

P(E\cap F) = P(E|F)P(F).

We are given that given that the element is from A, the probability of being defective is 5%. That is P(D|A) =0.05. Using the previous analysis we get that

P(D) = P(A)P(D|A)+P(B) P(D|B) + P(C)P(D|C) = 0.05\cdot 0.25+0.04\cdot 0.35+0.02\cdot 0.4 = 0.0345

We are told to calculate P(A|D), then using the formulas we have

P(A|D) = \frac{P(A\cap D)}{P(D)}= \frac{P(D|A)P(A)}{P(D)}= \frac{0.05\cdot 0.25}{0.0345}= 0.36231884

Kyle buys a turtle tank for Tiny, his pet turtle. The tank is 16 inches tall. The base
lions [1.4K]

The volume of the Tiny's tank will be equal to V=7760 cubic inches.

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

Volume is defined as the space occupied by any object in the three-Dimensions. All three parameters are required for the volume like length, width and height of the cube and for the cone it will be radius and height.

It is given that:-

The tank is 16 inches tall.

The area of the tank is 485 square inches

So the volume of the tank will be:-

V= πr²h

V=Area x h

V= 485 x 16

V= 7760 cubic inches

Therefore the volume of the Tiny's tank will be equal to V=7760 cubic inches.

To know more about Volume follow

Hi can some please help?
Oduvanchick [21]
So I'm assuming that you're taking Calculus.
The first thing you want to do is take the integral of f(x)...
Use the power rule to get:
4X^2-13X+3.
Now solve for X when f(x)=0. This is because when the slope is 0, it is either a minimum or a maximum(I'm assuming you know this)
Now you get X=0.25 and X=3. Since we are working in the interval of (1,4), we can ignore 0.25
Thus our potential X values for max and min are X=1,X=4,X=3(You don't want to forget the ends of the bounds!)
Plugging these value in for f(x), we get
f(1)=2.833
f(3)=-8.5
f(4)=1.667
Thus X=1 is the max and X=3 is the min.
So max:(1,2.833)
min:(3,-8.5)

Hope this helps!
