Number defective=4
number of non-defective=total-defective
=20-4
=16
the questions asked for 1 defective
so we choose only 1 defective from 4 defective items
4C1

and for 1 non-defective
we choose only 1 non-defective from 16 non-defective items
16C1

we choose 2 items from 20 items
so 20C2

answer:
probability= [(4C1) * (16C1)] /(20C2)
=32/95

Graph the function y = 4x4 - 8x2 + 4. Which lists all of the turning points of the graph? 0 (0,4) 0 (-1,0) and (1, 0) 0 (-1,0),

jeyben [28]

Answer:

(-1,0) (0,4) (1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

The turning points are also called the critical points. It is where the graph changes direction.

They occur at (-1,0) (0,4) (1,0)

If f(x) = - x + 4 and g(x) = x ^ 2 - 5 , then f(g(-2))=?

kkurt [141]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

using your f(x) I want to show you how to plug in different things itnot he function.

f(x) = -x + 4

f(1) = -1 + 4 = 3

f(2) = -2 + 4 = 2

f(m) = -m + 4

f(abc) = -(abc) + 4

f(h(x)) = -h(x) + 4

Does that help? what if you replaced h(x) with g(x)? Of course you already have that x so you could make it a little simpler as well. Let me know if you don't quite get it.

There are 2,000 eligible voters in a precinct. A total of 500 voters are randomly selected and asked whether they plan to vote f

Ann [662]

Answer:

$0.7 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.647$

$0.7 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.753$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.647;0.753).

So the correct answer would be:

a. 0.647 and 0.753

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Solution to the problem

The estimated population proportion for this case is:

$\hat p = \frac{350}{500}=0.7$

The confidence interval would be given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 99% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2=0.005$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.7 - 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.647$

$0.7 + 2.58 \sqrt{\frac{0.7(1-0.7)}{500}}=0.753$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (0.647;0.753).

So the correct answer would be:

a. 0.647 and 0.753

Write 2,670,000 in scientific notation.

hjlf

Scientific notation is just rewritten so that it has a single digit in front of the decimal and that this is multiplied by a power of ten that makes this decimal equal to the original number.

In this case we have 2.67 million. Well a million is equal to 10^6, because 10*10*10*10*10*10=one million.

So in scientific notation you would write:

2.67X10^6
