An automobile manufacturer finds that 1 in every 2500 automobiles produced has a particular manufacturing defect. ​(a) Use a binomial distribution to find the probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars. ​(b) The Poisson distribution can be used to approximate the binomial distribution for large values of n and small values of p. Repeat​ (a) using a Poisson distribution and compare the results.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.1558 = 15.58% probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars.

b) 0.1557 = 15.57% probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars. These probabilities are very close, which means that the approximation works.

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial distribution:

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

To use the Poisson approximation for the binomial, we have that:

[tex]\mu = np[/tex]

1 in every 2500 automobiles produced has a particular manufacturing defect.

This means that [tex]p = \frac{1}{2500} = 0.0004[/tex]

a) Use a binomial distribution to find the probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars.

This is [tex]P(X = 4)[/tex] when [tex]n = 7000[/tex]. So

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

[tex]P(X = 4) = C_{7000,4}.(0.0004)^{4}.(0.9996)^{6996} = 0.1558[/tex]

0.1558 = 15.58% probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars.

(b) The Poisson distribution can be used to approximate the binomial distribution for large values of n and small values of p.

Using the approximation:

[tex]\mu = np = 7000*0.0004 = 2.8[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-2.8}*(2.8)^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.1557[/tex]

0.1557 = 15.57% probability of finding 4 cars with the defect in a random sample of 7000 cars. These probabilities are very close, which means that the approximation works.

A website lists homes for sale in a suburban town. The site provides information including neighborhood, selling
price, age of the home in years), number of bedrooms, and whether the home has a garage. Which of the variables
is a categorical variable?
neighborhood
selling price
age of the home
number of bedrooms

Answers

Answer:

neighborhood

Step-by-step explanation:

Variables can be classified as categorical(qualitative) and quantitative.

Categorical variables:

Its variables are labels(for example, good/bad, yes/no,...)

Quantitative variables:

It's variables are numbers.

In this question:

The only variable which the answer is a label is the neighborhood. So this is the answer.

Identify the true statement about the given patterns.

Pattern C: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ...

Pattern D: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...

The terms in Pattern D are 2 more than the terms in Pattern C.
The terms in Pattern D are 1 more than the terms in Pattern C.
The terms in Pattern C are 2 times the terms in Pattern D.
The terms in Pattern C are 2 more than the terms in Pattern D.

Answers

Answer:

The 4th option i.e. 'The terms in Pattern C are 2 more than the terms in Pattern D' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the patterns

Pattern C: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ...

Pattern D: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...

If we carefully analyze, it is clear that terms in the pattern C are 2 more than the terms in Pattern D.

In other words, if we add 2 in each term of the Pattern D, we will get the pattern C.

For example,

Pattern D: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...

Now, add 2 in each term of Pattern D

i.e.

2+2 = 4

3+2 = 5

4+2 = 6

5+2 = 7

6+2 = 8

It is clear that we get the results 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 when we add 2 in each term of Pattern D.

As 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 represent Pattern C. Therefore, we conclude that the terms in Pattern C are 2 more than the terms in Pattern D.

Hence, the 4th option i.e. 'The terms in Pattern C are 2 more than the terms in Pattern D' is correct.

Y is inversely proportional to the square of x. If Y = 3 when x = 3, then Y =
ş, when x is
?

Answers

Answer:

It will be same the value of second Y

Answer:

y = [tex]\frac{27}{x^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you require the equation of proportion.

Given y is inversely proportional to x² , then the equation relating them is

y = [tex]\frac{k}{x^2}[/tex]

To find k use the condition if y = 3, then x = 3, that is

3 = [tex]\frac{k}{3^2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{k}{9}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 9 )

27 = k

y = [tex]\frac{27}{x^2}[/tex] ← equation of proportion

Evaluate the function for x = 3.5 f(x)=[2.5x]

a 8.75

b 8

c 9

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is a. 8.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x)=[2.5x] .............................. (1)

Where;

x = 3.5

The function can be evaluated by substituting x = 3.5 into equation (1), we have:

f(3.5) = 2.5 * 3.5

f(3.5) = 8.75

This implies the value of the function is 8.75. Therefore, the correct option is a. 8.75.

Answers

Answer: None of.the above

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a waiter claims he made tips that were 221% more than his wage for the day.

Assuming the waiter made $25 for his wage, the number of tips that he made would be calculated as:

= $25 + (221% × $25)

= $25 + (2.21 × $25)

= $25 + $55.25

= $80.25

Ice cubes trays each contain 12 cubes of ice. If t represents the number of trays, and c

represents the number of cubes, find an equation that relates t and c.

Answers

Answer:

c = 12 * t

Step-by-step explanation:

The only equation that relates t and c would be the following...

c = 12 * t

This is because the total number of cubes that exist depends on how many available trays exist. Therefore, creating a positive correlation relationship between these two variables. Since each tray contains 12 cubes, 12 is therefore multiplied by the number of trays to get the total number of cubes. This means that the more trays available the more cubes that are created.
