Of all the weld failures in a certain assembly, 85% of them occur in the weld metal itself, and the remaining 15% occur in the b

ase metal. A sample of 20 weld failures is examined.a.  What is the probability that exactly five of them are base metal failures?b.  What is the probability that fewer than four of them are base metal failures?c.  What is the probability that none of them are base metal failures?d.  Find the mean number of base metal failures,e.  Find the standard deviation of the number of base metal failures.

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

How many minutes are there in 2 3/5 hours
mars1129 [50]

156 minutes.

To find this, remember that an hour has sixty minutes. With this information, it is also given that there are two hours, thus meaning that we have to multiply sixty by two. This will give you 120. Next, you need to figure out the 3/5's portion of an hour. To find 1/5 of an hour, simply divide sixty by five. With that, you get the answer of 12. But because it says 3/5, you need to multiply 12 by 3, giving you 36. Finally, you add 36 to 120 to get the final answer of 156.

Hope this helps!

(Brainliest) Can someone please answer this
Lorico [155]
1. The perimeter is 20. How I got that is to add all of them together- 9+3+3+3+2=20. The area is the area is 15. How I got that was I did the little square with 3 and 2 first. 3 times 2 = 6, then I did the 3 and 3 which = 9 and added those together 9+6=15

2. The perimeter is 15. How I got that is I add them all together. 6+3+2+2+2=15. The area is 10. I did 3 times 2 = 6, 2 times 2 = 4, 6+4=10

Tasya [4]

Answer:

A. x=-15 and x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

|x+6|+8=17

|x+6|=9

-1(x+6)=9   x+6=9

-x-6=9      x=3

-x=15

x=-15
