Answer:
x = 5, x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Set f(x) = 0 and solve for x.
0 = (x -8)² -9
9 = (x -8)² . . . . . add 9
±√9 = x -8 . . . . . take the square root
±3 +8 = x . . . . . . . add 8
That is, ...
x = 8 -3 = 5 . . . . lesser x
x = 8 +3 = 11 . . . greater x
Answer:
The probability of SFS and SSF are same, i.e. P (SFS) = P (SSF) = 0.1311.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of a component passing the test is, P (S) = 0.79.
The probability that a component fails the test is, P (F) = 1 - 0.79 = 0.21.
Three components are sampled.
Compute the probability of the test result as SFS as follows:
P (SFS) = P (S) × P (F) × P (S)
Compute the probability of the test result as SSF as follows:
P (SSF) = P (S) × P (S) × P (F)
Thus, the probability of SFS and SSF are same, i.e. P (SFS) = P (SSF) = 0.1311.
