Each sample of water has a 30% chance of containing a particular organic pollutant. Assume that the samples are independent with regard to the presence of the pollutant. Find the probability that, in the next 10 samples, two or less contain the pollutant. (Hint: using the tables in Appendix A will be faster than doing it by hand!)
a) 0.678
b) 0.028
c) 0.041
d) 0.383

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d) 0.383

Step-by-step explanation:

For each sample, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they contain the pollutant, or they do not. The probability of a sample containing the pollutant is independent of any other sample. Thus, the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability 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.

30% chance of containing a particular organic pollutant.

This means that [tex]p = 0.3[/tex]

Next 10 samples

This means that [tex]n = 10[/tex]

Probability that two or less contain the pollutant.

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]. So

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.028[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{9} = 0.121[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{8} = 0.233[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.028 + 0.121 + 0.233 = 0.382[/tex]

A little rounding difference, but the correct answer is given by option d.

Slope is -3

y-intercept is -3 and equation is y=-3x-3

Answer:

Slope: -3

y-intercept: -3

Equation: y = -3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To get the slope (m):

m = rise / run = -3 / 1 --> it's negative 3 since the slope is going downwards

2. the y-intercept is the point that crosses the y-axis or when the x point is 0, so (0, -3)

3. Put is all together: y = -3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(x-6.5) = 3.16

Multiply each side by 2

1/2(x-6.5) *2 = 3.16 *2

(x-6.5) = 6.32

Add 6.5 to each side

(x-6.5+6.5) = 6.32+ 6.5

A box with a square base and open top must have a volume of 171500 c m 3 . We wish to find the dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used. First, find a formula for the surface area of the box in terms of only x , the length of one side of the square base. [Hint: use the volume formula to express the height of the box in terms of x .] Simplify your formula as much as possible.

Answers

Answer:

The dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used is length of square base x = 70 cm and height of box = 35 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box with square base is V = x²h where x = length of side of square base and h = height of box.

Now, the area of the of box open at the top with dimensions of length, l , width, w and height, h are

A = 2lh + lw + 2wh

Now for a box of square base, l = w = x.

So, A = 2xh + x² + 2xh

A = x² + 4xh

Since V = x²h and V = 171500 cm³,

h = V/x² = 171500/x²

substituting h into A, we have

A =   x² + 4xh

A =  x² + 4x(171500 cm³/x²)

A =  x² + 4 × 171500 cm³/x

A =  x² + 686000 cm³/x

To find the value of x that minimizes A, we differentiate A with respect to x

So, dA/dx = d[x² + 686000 cm³/x]/dx

dA/dx = 2x - 686000 cm³/x²

equating this to zero, we have

2x - 686000 cm³/x² = 0

2x = 686000 cm³/x²

2x³ = 686000

x³ = 686000 cm³/2

x = ∛(343000 cm³)

x = 70 cm

To determine if this in a minimum dimension for A, we differentiate dA/dx and insert x = 70 cm

So, d²A/dx² = d[2x - 686000 cm³/x²]/dx

d²A/dx² = 2 + 3 × 686000 cm³/x³

d²A/dx² = 2 + 2058000 cm³/x³

with x = 70 cm, we have

d²A/dx² = 2 + 2058000 cm³/(70 cm)³

d²A/dx² = 2 + 2058000 cm³/343000 cm³

d²A/dx² = 2 + 6

d²A/dx² = 8 > 0

So, x = 70 is a minimum value for the dimension

Since h = 171500 cm³/x²

h = 171500 cm³/(70 cm)²

h = 171500 cm³/4900 cm²

h = 35 cm

So, the dimensions of the box that minimize the amount of material used is length of square base x = 70 cm and height of box = 35 cm
