Answer:

a.) 0.1028

b.) 0.6477

c.) 0.0388

d.) 3

e.) 2.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Forming a binomial Probability distribution

n = 20

Probability of success for Weld metal failure = 85%

Probability of success for base metal failure = 15%

We use the probabilit distribution formula of combination to solve the problem.

P(x=r) = nCr * p^r * q^n-r

a.) if exactly 5 are base metal failures, then p = 15 and our solution becomes:

P(x=5) = 20C5 * 0.15^5 * 0.85^15

P(x=5) = 0.1028

b.) probability that fewer than 4 are base metal failure= P(x=0) + P(x=1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3)

P(x=0) = 20C0 * 0.15^0 * 0.85^20 = 0.0388

P(x=1) = 20C1 * 0.15¹ * 0.85^19 = 0.1368

P(x=2) = 20C2 * 0.15² * 0.85^18 = 0.2293

P(x=3) = 20C3 * 0.15³ * 0.85^17 = 0.2428

Probability that fewer than 4 are base metal failures becomes: 0.038 + 0.1368 + 0.2293 + 0.2428 = 0.6477

c.) probability that none of them are results of base metal failure = P(x=0). As earlier calculated,

P(x=0) = 0.0388

d.) mean of base metal failures = np = 20*0.15 = 3

e.) standard deviation of base metal failures = √np(1-p)

=3 * (1 - 0.15) = 3 * 0.85

= 2.55

2. Rainey graphed a function with exponential growth and an initial value of 15. Which of the following could represent the equa
Mars2501 [29]

Exponential equation are functions defined by y =ab^x

The equation that could represent Rainey graph must take the form y =15b^x

<h3>How to determine the equation</h3>

An exponential equation is represented as:

y =ab^x

Where:

  • a represents the initial value
  • b represents the rate

The initial value (a) is 15.

So, the equation becomes

y =15b^x

The graph is not given;

So, the equation cannot be determined.

Assume that the rate is 2.

Then the function would be: y =15(2)^x

Let f(x) be defined for any positive integer x greater than 2 as the sum of all prime numbers less than x. For example, f(4)=2+3
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

f(86)-f(82)

Step-by-step explanation:

well f of 82 = 2 plus _ plus _ plus _ and f of 86 is 2+_+_+_ subtract them

 (A)  3            (B)   4           (C)   47            (D)   59             (E)   83

these are some possible answers so the answer is b, 4

btw, 86-82 = 4 duh

A farmer raises only ducks and pigs. There are 55 animals in all on his farm, and 146 legs.
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Number of ducks = 37

Number of pigs = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the number of ducks

y be the number of pigs

According to given statement;

x+y=55     Eqn 1

2x+4y=146     Eqn 2 (As ducks will have 2 legs and pigs will have 4)

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2

2(x+y=55)

2x+2y=110    Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(2x+4y)-(2x+2y)=146-110

2x+4y-2x-2y=36

2y=36

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{36}{2}\\y=18

Putting y=18 in Eqn 1

x+18=55

x = 55-18

x = 37

Hence,

Number of ducks = 37

Number of pigs = 18
