Probability-and-statistics/361581: 1. –/2 points Notes Problem 7-22 A food-packaging apparatus underfills 20% of the containers. Find the probability that for any particular 10 containers the number of underfilled will be: Note: This question uses a tolerance of .0001 for grading. Make sure your answers are entered to the fifth decimal place. Example: .00123 (a) exactly 2 Pr= (b) exactly 5 Pr= (c) exactly 8 Pr= (d) at least 3 Pr= 2. –/2 points Notes Problem 7-24 Suppose that 30% of the applicants to an engineering school are women. An admissions committee reviews applications in groups of 100. Find the probability that the number of women in the next group is: Note: This question uses a tolerance of .0001 for grading. Make sure your answers are entered to the fifth decimal place. Example: .00123 (a) less than or equal to 21 Pr= (b) between 25 and 40 inclusively Pr= (c) greater than 30 Pr= (d) less than 7 Pr= (e) exactly 30 Pr= (f) greater than 54 Pr= 3. 0/2 points All Submissions Notes Problem 7-28 A student selects his answers on a true/false examination by tossing a coin (so that any particular answer has a .50 probability of being correct). He must answer at least 70% correctly in order to pass. Find his probability of passing when the number of questions is (a) 10 Pr=210 (b) 20 Pr= (c) 50 Pr= (d) 100 Pr= 4. –/2 points Notes 7.30 A quality-control inspector rejects any shipment of printed circuit boards whenever 3 or more defectives are found in a sample of 20 boards tested. Find the (1) expected number defective and (2) the probability of rejecting the shipment when the proportion of defectives in the entire shipment is (a) Proportion of Defectives=0.01 Expected Number Defective= Probability of Rejecting the Shipment= (b) Proportion of Defectives=0.05 Expected Number Defective= Probability of Rejecting the Shipment= (c) Proportion of Defectives=0.1 Expected Number Defective= Probability of Rejecting the Shipment= 5. –/2 points Notes Problem 7-32 An engineer has designed a modified welding robot. The robot will be considered good enough to manufacture if it misses only 1% of its assigned welds. And it will be judged a poor performer if it misses 5% of its welds. (In-between possibilities are not considered.) A test is performed involving 100 welds. The new design will be accepted if the number of missed welds R is 2 or fewer and rejected otherwise. (a) What is the probability that a good design will be rejected? Probability= (b) What is the probability that a poor design will be accepted?

The probability of someone helping you when you dump your whole homework assignment into one post is very small. Read the instructions for posting. One question per post. Also, tell us specifically what is giving you trouble and show the work you have done so far. We put into this an amount directly proportional to what you put in.

Travel_Word_Problems/361596: it took sue one hour to run three miles, how long will it take for her to run five miles? 1 solutions Answer 257776 by solver91311(16885)   on 2010-10-25 19:13:18 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! If it takes 1 hour to run 3 miles, then she is running 3 miles per hour (hence the name). Use But written hours. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Probability-and-statistics/361590: Assuming a normal distribution, what is the z-score associated with the 99th percentile? 1 solutions Answer 257775 by solver91311(16885)   on 2010-10-25 19:11:13 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! The z-value of 2.33 corresponds to a value of x on this normal curve such that 99% of all possible values of X will be less than said x value. Symbolically: P(X < x) = .99 John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Radicals/361584: square root of y+6-3=1 1 solutions Answer 257772 by solver91311(16885)   on 2010-10-25 19:06:05 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/360202: I am having trouble with my MAT 117 Appendix C. This is what I have so far. Could someone let me know if I am correct. 1. In this problem, we will analyze the profit found for sales of decorative tiles. A demand equation (sometimes called a demand curve) shows how much money people would pay for a product depending on how much of that product is available on the open market. Often, the demand equation is found empirically (through experiment, or market research). a. Suppose that a market research company finds that at a price of p = $40, they would sell x = 22 tiles each month. If they lower the price to p = $20, then more people would purchase the tile, and they can expect to sell x = 32 tiles in a month’s time. Find the equation of the line for the demand equation. Write your answer in the form p = mx + b. (Hint: Write an equation using two points in the form (x,p)). Slope=rise/run =(22,40),(32,20) =m=y2-y1 x2-x1 =m=20-40 = -20 =-2 32-22 10 P-p1=m(x-x1) P-40=-2(x-22) P-40=-2x+22 P=-2x+62 A company’s revenue is the amount of money that comes in from sales, before business costs are subtracted. For a single product, you can find the revenue by multiplying the quantity of the product sold, x, by the demand equation, p. b. Substitute the result you found from part a into the equation R = xp to find the revenue equation. Provide your answer in simplified form. R=-x(2x+62) R=-2x2 +62x The costs of doing business for a company can be found by adding fixed costs, such as rent, insurance, and wages, and variable costs, which are the costs to purchase the product you are selling. The portion of the company’s fixed costs allotted to this product is $200, and the supplier’s cost for a set of tile is $34 each. Let x represent the number of tile sets. c. If b represents a fixed cost, what value would represent b? The fixed costs are $200. d. Find the cost equation for the tile. Write your answer in the form C = mx + b. C=34x+200 The profit made from the sale of tiles is found by subtracting the costs from the revenue. e. Find the Profit Equation by substituting your equations for R and C in the equation . Simplify the equation. P=-2x2+62x-(34x+200) P=-2x2+62x-34x-200 P=-2x2 +28x-200 f. What is the profit made from selling 10 tile sets per month? P=-2x2 +28x-200 P=-2(10)2 +28(10)-200 P=480 g. What is the profit made from selling 12 tile sets each month? P=-2x2+28x-200 P=-2(12)2 +28(12)-200 P=712 h. What is the profit made from selling no tile sets each month? Interpret your answer. Plug in 0; P=x2+28x-200 P=02+28(0)-200 P=-200 These are the fixed costs that have to be paid regardless of sales. i. Use trial and error to find the quantity of tile sets per month that yields the highest profit. P=-2x2 +28x-200 P=-2(12)2+28(12)-200 P=712 They should sell 12 to make the most profit. j. How much profit would you earn from the number you found in part i? The profit is $712 when they sell 12. k. What price would you sell the tile sets at to realize this profit (hint, use the demand equation from part a)? Remember the demand function: P=-2x+62 P=--2(12)+62 P=$38 2. The break even values for a profit model are the values for which you earn $0 in profit. Use the equation you created in question one to solve P = 0, and find your break even values. P=-2x2+28x-200 0=-2x2+28x-200 0=-2(0)2 +28(0)-200 P=-200 3. In 2004, Home Depot’s sales amounted to $73,100,000,000. In 2006, its sales were $90,800,000,000. a.
