A battery company produces 12,000 batteries per day. Each day they randomly select 50 to test. If they find that 1 is dead, how

many dead batteries would they expect to find among the entire 12,000
Could someone help me solve this please:)

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that they would expect to find 240 dead batteries among the entire 12,000.

For each battery, there are only two possible outcomes, either it was dead or it was not. The probability of a battery being dead is independent of any other battery, hence the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

<h3>What is the binomial probability distribution?</h3>

It is the <u>probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability</u> of a success on each trial.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

In this problem, we have that:

  • One in 50 batteries are dead, hence p = 1/50 = 0.02.
  • There is a total of 12,000 batteries, hence n = 12000.

Then:

E(X) = np = 12000(0.2) = 240

They would expect to find 240 dead batteries among the entire 12,000.

The formula for the sum of an infinite geometric series, S=a1/1-r, may be used to convert
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

  D.  a1=23/100, r=1/100

Step-by-step explanation:

The repeating fraction can be written as the sum ...

0.\overline{23}=0.23+0.0023+0.000023+\dots

The first term is a1 = 0.23 = 23/100, and each successive term is shifted 2 decimal places to the right, so is multiplied by the common ratio r=1/100.

Ingrid makes quilts in designs that follow a specific pattern. The first three designs are shown. In designs, the white blocks r
Gekata [30.6K]

The number of white and grey blocks in the quilts follows a sequence given by the Design number of the quilt

The numbers and patterns of the blocks are;

a. Patterns;

  • The height of the white blocks is the Design number, while the rows are one more than the design number
  • The height of the outer grey blocks is 2 blocks more than the Design number, while their rows are 3 blocks more than the Design number

b. The function is \underline{p(n) = n \cdot (n + 1)}

c. The function is \underline{b(n) = (n + 2) \cdot (n + 3) -  n \cdot (n + 1)}}

d.  \underline{t(n) = (n + 2) \cdot (n + 3)  = b(n) - p(n) }

e. The design chosen is <u>Design 9</u>

The number of blocks is <u>132 blocks</u>

Reasons:

The pattern of the design are;

a. The column height of the grey blocks = 2 blocks more than the column height of the white blocks

Width of the outer grey blocks = 2 blocks more than the width of the inner white blocks

The number of white blocks in a design, <em>n</em> is the product of <em>n</em> and (n + 1)

The number of grey blocks in a design <em>n</em>, is the product of (n + 2) and (n + 3) less the number of white blocks in the design

b. Based on the above, the function that represent the number of picture blocks in Design <em>n</em>, is therefore;

  • p(n) = n·(n + 1)

c. Based on the above, the function that represent the number of border blocks in Design <em>n</em>, is therefore;

  • b(n) = (n + 2)·(n + 3) - n·(n + 1)

d. The total number of blocks, t(n) = (n + 2)·(n + 3)

t(n) = (n + 2)·(n + 3) - n·(n + 1) + n·(n + 1)

  • t(n) = p(n) + b(n)

e. The given number of picture blocks = 90

The number of picture blocks in a design, n = n × (n + 1)

Therefore, given that the number of picture blocks is 90, we have;

90 = n × (n + 1)

n² + n - 90 = 0

(n + 10)·(n - 9) = 0

n = 9, or n = -10

Therefore, the design museum chooses is <u>Design 9</u>

The total number of blocks in a quilt design, t(n) = (n + 2)·(n + 3)

Total blocks in the design the art museum choses, t(9), is given as follows;

t(9) = (9 + 2)·(9 + 3) = <u>132 blocks</u>
