Rachel rents three DVDs from Watch Flicks and two DVDs from Bluechest. The probability that a DVD is faulty is 4% for Watchflix

and 5% for Bluechest. All DVD rentals being faulty or otherwise are independent of each other. Calculate the probability that exactly two DVDs rented by Rachel are faulty.

Answer:

Pr( Exactly 2 are faulty) = 0.017

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that a Watchflix DVD is faulty = 4% = 0.04

Probability that a Bluechest DVD is faulty = 5% 0.05

Probability(Exactly 2 DVD are faulty) = Pr(the two faulty DVDs are from watchflix) + Pr(the two faulty DVDs are from Bluechest) + Pr(1 is faulty from Watchflix and the other from Bluechest)

Binomial distribution is given by:

P(r) = nCr p^{r} q^{n-r}

Pr(the two faulty DVDs are from watchflix) =

3C2 (0.04)^{2} (1-0.04)^{3-2} * (1-0.05)^{2} = 0.0042

Pr(the two faulty DVDs are from Bluechest) = (1-0.04)^{3} 0.05^{2} = 0.0022

Pr(1 is from Bluechest, 1 is from Watchflix) = 3C1 * 0.04 * (1-0.04)^{2} * 2C1 * 0.05 * (1-0.05) = 0.01051

Pr( Exactly 2 are faulty) = 0.001386 + 0.0022 + 0.01051

Pr( Exactly 2 are faulty) = 0.0169 = 0.017

A research submarine descends 65 meters per minutes to a depth of 4485 m, conducts experiments, and then ascends at a rate of 65
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

speed =65m/mins = 65/60 = 1.083m/s

Time taken to go down,

t = 4485/1.083

= 4141.37 s

Total time gotten = 12 hrs = 12*60*60

= 43200s

Amount of time left to conduct experiment

= 43200-4141.37

= 39058.63s

= 39058.63/3600

= 10.85 hrs

What is the value of k such that x-5 is a factor of x3 – x2 + kx - 30?
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

k = - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

given that (x - 5) is a factor of the polynomial then x = 5 is a root and

x³ - x² + kx - 30 = 0 for x = 5, that is

5³ - 5² + 5k - 30 = 0

125 - 25 + 5k - 30 = 0

70 + 5k = 0 ( subtract 70 from both sides )

5k = - 70 ( divide both sides by 5 )

k = - 14

Sylvester and Lin go to the amusement park. Sylvester plays 5 rounds of mini golf and takes 4 turns in the batting cages for $60
leva [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

let's use g for golf and b for batting cages

So let's start with Sylvester

he plays 5 rounds of mini golf so 5g

and he takes 4 turns in the batting cages so 4b

and he pays 60 dollars for this

SO his equation is 5g+4b=60

Now onto Lin

3g for 3 rounds of golf

6b for 6 turns in the batting cages

He pays 45 dollars

SO his equation is 3g+6b=45

Both equations:

5g+4b=60

3g+6b=45

Now you need to cancel out one variable so you can multiply the first equation by 3 and the second one by -5

15g+12b=120

-15g-30b=-225

Now the g will cancel out when you add both equations

-18b=-105

b=105/18 which is about 5.83 dollars

Now plug in 105/18 into any of the original equations and solve for g

Solve the equation by completing the square. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. x2 – 4x = 5
Ksenya-84 [330]
Solve for x over the real numbers:
x^2 - 4 x = 5

Subtract 5 from both sides:
x^2 - 4 x - 5 = 0

x = (4 ± sqrt((-4)^2 - 4 (-5)))/2 = (4 ± sqrt(16 + 20))/2 = (4 ± sqrt(36))/2:
x = (4 + sqrt(36))/2 or x = (4 - sqrt(36))/2

sqrt(36) = sqrt(4×9) = sqrt(2^2×3^2) = 2×3 = 6:
x = (4 + 6)/2 or x = (4 - 6)/2

(4 + 6)/2 = 10/2 = 5:
x = 5 or x = (4 - 6)/2

(4 - 6)/2 = -2/2 = -1:

Answer:  x = 5 or x = -1
