Answer:

Since each card is about $1, the total cost is approximately 3 × 1 = $3.

Step-by-step explanation:

So 3 x 1 = 3

1 > 0.97

0.97 x 3 ≈ 2.91 which if rounded to the nearest WHOLE number it would be approximately 3$

Hope this helps!

Assume that the probability of a defective computer component is 0.02. Components arerandomly selected. Find the probability tha

solmaris [256]

Answer:

0.0177 = 1.77% probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.

The expected number of components tested before a defective component is found is 50, with a variance of 0.0208.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the probability of a defective computer component is 0.02. Components are randomly selected. Find the probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.

First six not defective, each with 0.98 probability.

7th defective, with 0.02 probability. So

$p = (0.98)^6*0.02 = 0.0177$

0.0177 = 1.77% probability that the first defect is caused by the seventh component tested.

Find the expected number and variance of the number of components tested before a defective component is found.

Inverse binomial distribution, with $p = 0.02$

Expected number before 1 defective(n = 1). So

$E = \frac{n}{p} = \frac{1}{0.02} = 50$

Variance is:

$V = \frac{np}{(1-p)^2} = \frac{0.02}{(1-0.02)^2} = 0.0208$

The expected number of components tested before a defective component is found is 50, with a variance of 0.0208.

F(x)=2x-3 g(x)=x^2+1 find g(2)

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

$g(2)=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

since g(x) is equal to $x^2+1$ , you just plug in the value of 2 for x, to get $2^2+1$ , and 2 to the power of 2 (also known as 2 squared) is equal to 4, which makes your equation $4+1$ , which equals 5.
