Suppose that there are 15 antennas in a store, of which 3 are defective. Assume all the defectives and all the functional antenn

as are indistinguishable. If we lay all the antennas down in a row, how many linear orderings are there in which no two defectives are consecutive?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 15 antennas in total.

Out of these, 3 are defective.

This means that 12 antennas are functioning: 15-3=12.

To ensure that no two defective antennas are adjacent, we need to have only one defective at a time placed between the functional ones.

So,

We align the 13 functional antennas, then look for the spaces where the defective antennas can fit

__G __ G __ G __ G __ G __G __ G __ G __ G __ G __ G __ G __G __

Each gap represented by an underscore indicates a possible location for a defective antenna, allowing for just one per space.

Consequently, there are 14 potential spots for the defective antennas. With 3 defectives, we are dealing with a combinatorial arrangement.

ⁿCr= n!/(n-r)!r!

The total number of arrangements possible is

14C3=14!/(14-3)!3!

14C3=14×13×12×11!/11!×3×2

14C3=14×13×12/6

That gives us 364 distinct ways to arrange them.

Suppose the area that can be painted using a single can of spray paint is slightly variable and follows a nearly normal distribu
zzz [12365]

Response:

Detailed explanation:

Greetings!

You have the variable

X: Area eligible for painting with a can of spray paint (feet²)

This variable is normally distributed with a mean of μ= 25 feet² and a standard deviation of δ= 3 feet²

As this variable has a normal distribution, it needs to be converted into the standard normal form to utilize tabulated cumulative probabilities.

a.

P(X>27)

The first step involves standardizing the X value using Z= (X-μ)/ δ ~N(0;1)

P(Z>(27-25)/3)

P(Z>0.67)

Having determined the Z value, you can find it in the table, but since the table includes probabilities for P(Z, the following conversion must be applied:

P(Z>0.67)= 1 - P(Z≤0.67)= 1 - 0.74857= 0.25143

b.

A sample of 20 cans was taken, and you need to ascertain the probability of averaging a coverage area of 540 feet².

The sample mean maintains the same distribution as its source variable, but its variance is influenced by sample size, thus it is normally distributed with parameters:

X[bar]~N(μ;δ²/n)

To cover 540 feet² with 20 cans, the average coverage must be approximately 540/20= 27 feet² per can.

c.

P(X≤27) = P(Z≤(27-25)/(3/√20))= P(Z≤2.98)= 0.999

d.

No, if the distribution is not normal and skewed, the normal distribution should not be applied for calculating probabilities. While the central limit theorem might approximate the sampling distribution to normal when the sample size is 30 or larger, that isn’t applicable here.

I trust this information is helpful!

What is the value of n? 9x27+2x31-28= n
Svet_ta [12734]

n equals 277

9 multiplied by 27 plus 2 multiplied by 31 minus 28 gives n

243 plus 62 minus 28 results in n

305 minus 28 equals n

which means 277 is n

zzz [12365]

Response:1 and 2

Step-by-step Explanation:

Provided data

Volume required V=220\ in.^3

For the initial cylinder

r=3\ in.

h=4\ in.

V=\pi r^2h

V_1=\pi (3)^2(4)

V_1=113.11\ in^3

For the second cylinder

r=4\ in.

h=4\ in.

V=\pi r^2h

V_2=\pi (4)^2(4)

V_2=201.08\ in^3

For the third cylinder

r=9\ in.

h=9\ in.

V=\pi r^2h

V_3=\pi (9)^2(9)

V_3=2290.51\ in^3

For the fourth cylinder

r=4\ in.

h=9\ in.

V=\pi r^2h

V_4=\pi (4)^2(9)

V_4=452.448\ in^3

Thus, cylinders 1 and 2 meet the requirement as they remain under 220\ in.^3
