<h3>Answer:</h3>

-8/3 ft/s

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given:</u>

distance of the top of the ladder from the ground (h) = 12 ft

height of the ladder = 20 ft

rate of change of the distance of the base of ladder from the wall (dx/dt):

2 ft/s

<u>Finding the distance of the base of the ladder from the wall:</u>

From the Pythagoras's Theorem, we know that:

hypotenuse² = height² + base²

<em>replacing the given values</em>

20² = 12² + x²

400 = 144 + x²

x² = 256                            [subtracting 144 from both sides]

x = 16 ft                            [taking the square root of both sides]

<u>The rate of change of the height of the Ladder from the ground:</u>

We know that:

h = 12 ft

(\frac{dh}{dt}) = ?

x = 16 ft

(\frac{dx}{dt}) = 2 ft/s

According to the Pythagoras's Theorem:

20² = x² + h²

<em>differentiating both sides with respect to time</em>

\frac{d(400)}{dt} = \frac{d(x^{2} + h^{2})}{dt}

0 = \frac{d(x^{2})}{dt} +  \frac{d(h^{2})}{dt}

0 = \frac{d(x^{2})}{dx}(\frac{dx}{dt}) +  \frac{d(h^{2})}{dh}(\frac{dh}{dt})

0 = 2x(\frac{dx}{dt}) +  2h(\frac{dh}{dt})

<em>replacing the variables</em>

0 = 2(16)(2) +  2(12)(\frac{dh}{dt})

0 = 64 +  32(\frac{dh}{dt})

-64 =32(\frac{dh}{dt})                                [subtracting 64 from both sides]

\frac{-64}{32} =(\frac{dh}{dt})                                    [dividing both sides by 32]

\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{-8}{3} ft/s

Hence, the ladder will slide down at a speed of 8/3 feet per second

Answer:

Binomial distribution requires all of the following to be satisfied:

1. size of experiment (N=27) is known.

2. each trial of experiment is Bernoulli trial (i.e. either fail or pass)

3. probability (p=0.14) remains constant through trials.

4. trials are independent, and random.

Binomial distribution can be used as a close approximation, with the  usual assumption that a sample of 27 in thousands of stock is representative of the population., and is given by the probability of x successes (defective).

P(x)=C(N,x)*p^x*(1-p)^(n-x)

where N=27, p=0.14, and C(N,x) is the number of combinations of x items out of N.

So we need the probability of <em>at most one defective</em>, which is

P(0)+P(1)

= C(27,0)*0.14^0*(0.86)^(27) + C(27,1)*0.14^1*(0.86^26)

=1*1*0.0170 + 27*0.14*0.0198

=0.0170+0.0749

=0.0919
