A bin of 5 transistors is known to contain 2 that are defective. The transistors are to be tested, one at a time, until the defe

ctive ones are identified. Denote by N1 the number of tests made until the first defective is identified and by N2 the number of additional tests until the second defective is identified. Find the joint probability mass func- tion of N1 and N2.

Answer:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b)= \frac{1}{5-a C 1} * \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2} = \frac{1}{5C2}=\frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

For the random variable N_1 we define the possible values for this variable on this case [1,2,3,4,5] . We know that we have 2 defective transistors so then we have 5C2 (where C means combinatory) ways to select or permute the transistors in order to detect the first defective:

5C2 = \frac{5!}{2! (5-2)!}= \frac{5*4*3!}{2! 3!}= \frac{5*4}{2*1}=10

We want the first detective transistor on the ath place, so then the first a-1 places are non defective transistors, so then we can define the probability for the random variable N_1 like this:

P(N_1 = a) = \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2}

For the distribution of N_2 we need to take in count that we are finding a conditional distribution. N_2 given N_1 =a, for this case we see that N_2 \in [1,2,...,5-a], so then exist 5-a C 1 ways to reorder the remaining transistors. And if we want b additional steps to obtain a second defective transistor we have the following probability defined:

P(N_2 =b | N_1 = a) = \frac{1}{5-a C 1}

And if we want to find the joint probability we just need to do this:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b) = P(N_2 = b | N_1 = a) P(N_1 =a)

And if we multiply the probabilities founded we got:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b)= \frac{1}{5-a C 1} * \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2} = \frac{1}{5C2}=\frac{1}{10}

What is the y-intercept of the function f(x)=4 - 5x? (Hint: use the commutative property)
Tom [10]

Answer:

Therefore the y-intercept of the function is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intercepts:

The line which intersect on x-axis and y-axis are called intercepts.

y-intercept: The line or function which intersect at y-axis. So when the line intersect at y-axis, X coordinate is zero.

So in the given Function Put x = 0 we will get the y-intercept

f(x)= 4-5x

Put x =0

f(0)= 4-5\times 0

f(0)= 4-0=4

Therefore the y-intercept of the function is 4.

Match with the sum of the monomial and binomial
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Just cancel the parentheses and simplify

                   Result                            Addition

                5xy² + 2x²y     ⇒                (5xy² - x²y) + 3x²y = 5xy² + 2x²y        

               -3x²y - 2xy²      ⇒                 x²y + (-2xy² - 4x²y) = -3x²y - 2xy²

                3x²y - 2xy²      ⇒               2x²y + (x²y - 2xy²) = 3x²y - 2xy²

                5x²y + xy²        ⇒                4x²y + (x²y + xy²) = 5x²y + xy²

olya-2409 [2.1K]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:

$19,153.26.

Explanation:

She will receive 42% of her average annual salary. This salary was $45,603.

To find 42% of a number, we first convert the percent to a decimal: 42% = 42/100 = 0.42.

Next we multiply this by the number we're taking the percent of:

0.42(45603) = 19153.26.
