Answer:

a) 0.5 = 50% probability that an NPN transistor will be selected.

b) 0.3333 = 33.33% probability that it came from the cabinet that contains both types

c) 66.67% probability that it comes from the cabinet that contains only NPN transistors

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

a) What is the probability that an NPN transistor will be selected?

1/3 probability that the first cabinet is chosen. This cabinet has two transistors, both of which are NPN, so 100% probability of selecting a NPN transistor.

1/3 probability that the second cabinet is chosen. This cabinet has two transistors, both of which are PNP, so 0% probability of selecting a NPN transistor.

1/3 probability that the second cabinet is chosen. This cabinet has two transistors, one of which is NPN, so 50% probability of selecting a NPN transistor.

So

p = \frac{1}{3}*1 + \frac{1}{3}*0 + \frac{1}{3}*0.5 = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{6} = 0.5

0.5 = 50% probability that an NPN transistor will be selected.

b) Given that the hobbyist selects an NPN transistor, what is the probability that it came from the cabinet that contains both types?

Here we use the conditional probability formula.

Event A: NPN transistor

Event B: From the third cabinet.

50% probability that an NPN transistor will be selected, so P(A) = 0.5.

1/6 probability that it is from the third cabinet and NPN, so P(A \cap B) = \frac{1}{6}

The desired probability is:

P(B|A) = \frac{\frac{1}{6}}{0.5} = 0.3333

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that it came from the cabinet that contains both types.

c) Given that an NPN transistor is selected what is the probability that it comes from the cabinet that contains only NPN transistors?

Either it comes from the cabinet with only NPN transistors, or it comes from the cabinet with both types of transistors. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 100%. So

x + 33.33 = 100

x = 66.67

66.67% probability that it comes from the cabinet that contains only NPN transistors

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The 93% confidence interval for the true proportion of masks of this type whose lenses would pop out at 325 degrees is (0.3154, 0.5574). This means that we are 93% sure that the true proportion of masks of this type whose lenses would pop out at 325 degrees is (0.3154, 0.5574).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 55, \pi = \frac{24}{55} = 0.4364

93% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.07, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.07}{2} = 0.965, so Z = 1.81.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4364 - 1.81\sqrt{\frac{0.4364*0.5636}{55}} = 0.3154

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4364 + 1.81\sqrt{\frac{0.4364*0.5636}{55}} = 0.5574

The 93% confidence interval for the true proportion of masks of this type whose lenses would pop out at 325 degrees is (0.3154, 0.5574). This means that we are 93% sure that the true proportion of masks of this type whose lenses would pop out at 325 degrees is (0.3154, 0.5574).

From a pile of 100 pennies(P), 100 nickels(N), and 100 dimes(D), select 21 coins which have a total value of exactly $1.00. In y
Murrr4er [49]
So, you need 10 penny, 4 nickles and 7 dimes
Lets, check it.
According to the question,
total coins = 21
7 + 4 + 10 = 21
21 = 21.........................................true
Now,
their value should equal $1.00 = 100 cents
Penny = 1 cent
nickle = 5 cent
dime = 10 cent,
So,
(10 *1) + (4 * 5) + (7 * 10) = 100
10 + 20 + 70 = 100
100 = 100......................................true

 
So, you need 10 penny, 4 nickle, and 7 dimes
