Answer:

0.25% probability that they are both defective

Step-by-step explanation:

For each computer chip, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are defective, or they are not. The probability of a computer chip being defective is independent of other chips. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

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 combinations 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.

5% of the computer chips it makes are defective.

This means that p = 0.05

If an inspector chooses two computer chips randomly (meaning they are independent from each other), what is the probability that they are both defective?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So

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

P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.05)^{2}.(0.95)^{0} = 0.0025

0.25% probability that they are both defective

What is the vertex of the graph of y = x2 + 4x?<br> (–2, –12)<br> (–2, –8)<br> (–2, –6)<br> (–2, –4)
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: The vertex of the parabola (quadratic function) is (-2,-4)

Fourth option: (-2,-4)


Solution:

y=x^2+4x

y=ax^2+bx+c; a=1, b=4, c=0

Vertex: V=(h,k)

h=-b/(2a)

h=-4/(2(1))

h=-4/2

h=-2

y=x^2+4x

k=y=h^2+4h

k=(-2)^2+4(-2)

k=4-8

k=-4

Vertex: V=(h,k)

Vertex: V=( -2, -4)

I need the incomplete fraction answer for:<br> y=<br> z=<br> b=<br> Thx
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Y = 15sqrt(3)/4

Z = 15sqrt(3)/2

b = 45/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin(60) =Z/15

sqrt(3)/2 = Z/15

Z = 15sqrt(3)/2

Sin(30) = Y/Z

½ = Y/Z

Y = ½(15sqrt(3))/2 = 15sqrt(3)/4

Cos(30) = b/Z

sqrt(3)/2 = b/Z

b = 15sqrt(3)/2 × sqrt(3)/2

b = 45/4

sqrt is square root/radical

Medicare would like to test the hypothesis that the average monthly rate for one-bedroom assisted-living facility is equal to $3
aliina [53]

Answer:

C) more than the absolute value of the critical value, we can conclude that the average monthly rate for an assisted-living facility is not equal to $3,300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Interest hypothesizes is " the average monthly rate for one-bedroom assisted-living facility is equal to $3300" symbolically: μ = 3300

The study variable is:

X: Monthly rate for a one-bedroom assisted-living facility.

Since there is no information about the distribution of the variable, to be able to study the population mean, I'll assume that the variable has a normal distribution.

The hypothesis is:

H₀: μ = 3300

H₁: μ ≠ 3300

α: 0.05

The statistic to use, considering that there is no known population information and the sample size, is a Student t:

t= <u> X[bar] - μ </u> ~t_{n-1}

       S/√n

n= 12

X[bar]= $3690

S= $530

Using the sample data, calculate the statistic value:

t= <u> 3690 - 3300 </u> = 2.549

       530/√12

The rejection region for this test is two-tailed, with critical values:

t_{n-1; \alpha /2} = t_{11; 0.025} = -2.201

t_{n-1;1-\alpha /2} = t_{11; 0.975} = 2.201

The decision rule is:

Reject the null hypothesis if t ≤ -2.201 or if t ≥ 2.201

Not reject the null hypothesis if -2.201 < t < 2.201

Since the calculated value (2.549) is greater than the right critical value (2.201) the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.

With a signification level of 5%, there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. This means that the population mean of the monthly rate for a one-bedroom assisted living facility is different from $3300.

I hope it helps!
