The Kendal Company manufactures automobile engine parts. Running the manufacturing operations requires 12 watts (units of electr

icity per hour). The amount of electricity required to run the manufacturing operations and lighting the facility is given by y = 12x + 24, where x is the number of hours of manufacturing and y is the amount of electricity expended. How much electricity is used on a day when no parts are

24 because when you plug in 0 for both x and y:

0=12(0)+24

12*0=0, leaving you with 24.

The proportion of high school seniors who are married is 0.02. Suppose we take a random sample of 300 high school seniors; a.) F

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

a) Mean 6, standard deviation 2.42

b) 10.40% probability that, in our sample of 300, we find that 8 of the seniors are married.

c) 14.85% probability that we find less than 4 of the seniors are married.

d) 99.77% probability that we find at least 1 of the seniors are married

Step-by-step explanation:

For each high school senior, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are married, or they are not. The probability of a high school senior being married is independent from other high school seniors. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 300, p = 0.02$

a.) Find the mean and standard deviation of the sample count X who are married.

Mean

$E(X) = np = 300*0.02 = 6$

Standard deviation

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{300*0.02*0.98} = 2.42$

b.) What is the probability that, in our sample of 300, we find that 8 of the seniors are married?

This is P(X = 8).

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

$P(X = 8) = C_{300,8}.(0.02)^{8}.(0.98)^{292} = 0.1040$

10.40% probability that, in our sample of 300, we find that 8 of the seniors are married.

c.) What is the probability that we find less than 4 of the seniors are married?

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{300,0}.(0.02)^{0}.(0.98)^{300} = 0.0023$

$P(X = 1) = C_{300,1}.(0.02)^{1}.(0.98)^{299} = 0.0143$

$P(X = 2) = C_{300,2}.(0.02)^{2}.(0.98)^{298} = 0.0436$

$P(X = 3) = C_{300,3}.(0.02)^{3}.(0.98)^{297} = 0.0883$

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0023 + 0.0143 + 0.0436 + 0.0883 = 0.1485$

14.85% probability that we find less than 4 of the seniors are married.

d.) What is the probability that we find at least 1 of the seniors are married?

Either no seniors are married, or at least 1 one is. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

From c), we have that $P(X = 0) = 0.0023$ . So

$0.0023 + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

$P(X \geq 1) = 0.9977$

99.77% probability that we find at least 1 of the seniors are married

Which function represents transforming ƒ(x) = 3x with a reflection over the x-axis and a vertical shift of 4 units?

Oxana [17]

Answer:

D. $h(x)=-3x+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

$f(x)=3x$

Firstly, it is reflected over x-axis

we know that for reflection about x-axis , we can replace y as -y

we get

$g(x)=-f(x)$

$g(x)=-3x$

now, it is vertical shift up by 4 units

so, we can add 4 to y-value

we get

$h(x)=g(x)+4$

$h(x)=-3x+4$
