A sum expression that equals -3/4

A food-packaging apparatus underfills 10% of the containers. Find the probability that for any particular 10 containers the numb

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a) $P(X = 1) = 0.38742$

b) $P(X = 3) = 0.05740$

c) $P(X = 9) = 0.00000$

d) $P(X \geq 5) = 0.00163$

Step-by-step explanation:

For each container, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is undefilled, or it is not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

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 combinatios 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.

In this problem

There are 10 containers, so $n = 10$ .

A food-packaging apparatus underfills 10% of the containers, so $p = 0.1$ .

a) This is P(X = 1)

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742$

b) This is P(X = 3)

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{7} = 0.05740$

c) This is P(X = 9)

$P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.1)^{9}.(0.9)^{1} = 0.00000$

d) This is $P(X \geq 5)$ .

Either the number is lesser than five, or it is five or larger. The sum of the probabilities of each event is decimal 1. So:

$P(X < 5) + P(X \geq 5) = 1$

$P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5)$

In which

$P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.1)^{0}.(0.9)^{10} = 0.34868$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.1)^{2}.(0.9)^{8} = 0.1937$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.1)^{3}.(0.9)^{7} = 0.05740$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.1)^{1}.(0.9)^{9} = 0.38742$

So

$P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.34868 + 0.38742 + 0.19371 + 0.05740 + 0.01116 = 0.99837$

Finally

$P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5) = 1 - 0.99837 = 0.00163$

Six different second-year medical students at Bellevue Hospital measured the blood pressure of the same person. The systolic re

mixer [17]

Answer: range= 26, variance= 80 and standard deviation= 8.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Range = highest - lowest

Range = 146 - 120

Range= 26

Let m be mean

M=mean=sum/n

Mean=(120+134+146+127+138+133) / 6

M=798/6

M=133

The standard deviation sample formula:

S.D = sqrt( Summation of |x-m|^2 / n-1)

Let start finding:

|x-m|^2

For 1st: |120-133|^2=169

For 2nd: |134-133|^2=1

For 3rd: |146-133|^2=169

For 4th: |127-133|^2=36

For 5th: |138-133|^2=25

For 6th: |133-133|^2=0

Summation of |x-m|^2 = 400

The standard deviation formula is :

S.D = sqrt( Summation of |x-m|^2 / n-1)

S.D= sqrt(400 / 5)

S.D=sqrt(80)

S.D= 8.94

Variance = (Summation of |x-m|^2 / n-1)

Variance= 400/5

Variance= 80

You survey your class and record each students first name, last name, and age. You then make ordered pairs of (first name, age).

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a relation because each person will most likely have a different name and you can have plenty of the same outputs just as long as the input doesn't repeat at all.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

12 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

36/6 = 6

you need to divide 36 by 6 as there are 36 pencils.

= 2 * 6 = 12

one side of a square is 10 units. which is greater,the number of square units for the area of the square or the number of units

user100 [1]

Hello Shaffer23,
All sides of a square are the same length so since the side is 10 units
Perimeter=40units
but to find the area of a square it is BasexHeight
10x10
Area is 100
So the answer would be the units for area
