Answer:

$3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Price of each comb = $x

15 combs were purchased in = $(15x-45)

To find:

Amount of discount offered on each comb.

Solution:

First of all, let us calculate the price of 15 combs at the price of $x each.

Original Price of 15 combs = Price of one comb \times Number of combs = $15x

Now, there is some discount provided on the purchase of 15 combs.

Discount offered on 15 combs = Original price of 15 combs - Discounted price of 15 combs = 15x- (15x-45) = $45

Discount offered on each comb = Discount on 15 combs divided by 15

Discount offered on each comb = \frac{45}{15} = <em>$3</em>

A TV company when purchasing thousands electronic components apply this sampling plan: randomly select 15 of them and then accep
katrin [286]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

According to the Binomial probability distribution ,

Let x be the binomial variable .

Then the probability of getting success in x trials , is given by :

P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x} , where n is the total number of trials or the sample size and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

As per given , we have

n = 15

Let x be the number of defective components.

Probability of getting defective components = P = 0.03

The whole batch can be accepted if there are at most two defective components. .

The probability that the whole lot is accepted :

P(X\leq 2)=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)\\\\=^{15}C_0(0.03)^0(0.97)^{15}+^{15}C_1(0.03)^1(0.97)^{14}+^{15}C_2(0.03)^2(0.97)^{13}\\\\=(0.97)^{15}+(15)(0.03)^1(0.97)^{14}+\dfrac{15!}{2!13!}(0.03)^2(0.97)^{13}\\\\\approx0.63325+0.29378+0.06360=0.99063

∴The probability that the whole lot is accepted = 0.99063

For sample size n= 2500

Expected value : \mu=np= (2500)(0.03)=75

The expected value = 75

Standard deviation :  \sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{2500(0.03)(0.97)}\approx8.53

The standard deviation = 8.53

We know that
scale------------> 1 in/4 ft
[blueprint]=scale*[actual]

Part 1) <span> Living room 
lenght (20 ft)  -------------> </span>[blueprint]=(1/4)*20=5 in<span>
width (8 ft) ----------------> </span>[blueprint]=(1/4)*8=2 in

Part 2) Kitchen   
length (16 ft)  -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*16=4 in
width (16 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*16=4 in

Part 3) Office   
length (8 ft)  -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*8=2 in
width (16 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*16=4 in

Part 4) Bedroom 1   
length (8 ft)  -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*8=2 in
width (16 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*16=4 in

Part 5) Bedroom 2   
length (20 ft)  -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*20=5 in
width (20 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*20=5 in

Part 6) <span>Bathroom</span>   
length (6 ft)  -------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*6=1.5 in
width (8 ft) ----------------> [blueprint]=(1/4)*8=2 in
