A company that produces fine crystal knows from experience that 13% of its goblets have cosmetic flaws and must be classified as

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

(a) The probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b) The probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c) The probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of seconds in the batch.

The probability of the random variable X is, p = 0.31.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

The probability mass function of X is:

$P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0,1,2,3...$

(a)

Compute the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

$P(X=1)={6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=6\times 0.13\times 0.4984\\=0.3888$

Thus, the probability that only one goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.3888.

(b)

Compute the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

$=1-{6\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{6-0}-{6\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{6-1}\\=1-0.4336+0.3888\\=0.1776$

Thus, the probability that at least two goblet is a second among six randomly selected goblets is 0.1776.

(c)

If goblets are examined one by one then to find four that are not seconds we need to select either 4 goblets that are not seconds or 5 goblets including only 1 second.

P (4 not seconds) = P (X = 0; n = 4) + P (X = 1; n = 5)

$={4\choose 0}0.13^{0}(1-0.13)^{4-0}+{5\choose 1}0.13^{1}(1-0.13)^{5-1}\\=0.5729+0.3724\\=0.9453$

Thus, the probability that at most five must be selected to find four that are not seconds is 0.9453.

Is (x + 1) a factor of 10x^3 - 15x^2 + 7x + 32?

iragen [17]

$10x^3-15x^2+7x+32^{}=0$

we can divide the equation on (x+1) and if we have a real solutons (x+1) is a factor

is a factor because the remainder is 0

so the new form of the equation is

$(x+1)(10x^2-25x+32)$

$h(-3) - h( - 2) = - \frac{5}{ 8} \\ \\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{h(x) = \frac{2 {x}^{2} - x + 1}{3x - 2}}$

$h(2) = \frac{2 {(2)}^{2} - (2) + 1}{3(2) - 2}$

$h(2) = \frac{2 {(4)} - 2 + 1}{6 - 2}$

$h(2) = \frac{ 8 - 1}{4}$

$h(2) = \frac{7}{4}$

$h( - 3) = \frac{2 {( - 3)}^{2} - ( - 3) + 1}{3( - 3) - 2} \\ h( - 3) = \frac{2 (9) + 3 + 1}{ - 9- 2} \\ h( - 3) = \frac{18 + 4}{ - 11} \\ h( - 3) = \frac{22}{ - 11} \\ h(-3) = -2$

$h( - 2) = \frac{2 {( - 2)}^{2} - ( - 2) + 1}{3( - 2) - 2} \\ h( - 2) = \frac{2 (4) + 2+ 1}{- 6 - 2} \\ h( - 2) = \frac{8 + 3}{- 8} \\ h( - 2) = \frac{11}{- 8}$

$h(3) - h( - 2) = -2 - \frac{11}{- 8} \\ h(3) - h( - 2) =-2 + \frac{11}{ 8} \\ h(3) - h( - 2) = \frac{-2}{1}+ \frac{11}{ 8} \\ h(3) - h( - 2) = \frac{-16}{8} + \frac{11}{ 8} \\ h(3) - h( - 2) = \frac{-16+11}{8} \\ h(3) - h( - 2) = \frac{-5}{8} \\ - \frac{5}{ 8}$
