Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: (a) Definition of x!

In Mathematics or Statistics, x can be any whole number, and whenever x! is observed, it mainly becomes equal to as follows:

x!=(x)×(x1)×(x2)×...×(2)×(1)

02

Calculation of 7!3!(7−3)!

The value of 7!3!(73)!is shown below:

role="math" localid="1653654745275" 7!3!(73)!=7×6×5×4×3×2×13×2×1(4)!=7×6×5×4×3×2×13×2×1(4×3×2×1)=50406×24=5040144=3.5

Therefore, the value of 7!3!(73)!is 3.5.

03

(b) Definition of (94)

In Mathematics or statistics , it is often written as for simplicity for calculating. Here, 9! and 4! refer to 9 factorial and 4 factorials, respectively, which are accordingly calculated.

04

Calculation of (94)

The value of 94is shown below:

role="math" localid="1653655416623" (94)=9!4!(94)!=9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2×14×3×2×1(5)!=9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2×14×3×2×1(5×4×3×2×1)!=362,88024×120=3628802880=126

Therefore, the value of 94is 126.

05

(c) Definition of (50)

For calculation of50 , it is sometimes written as5!0!(5-0)! whenever someone tries to calculate. Here, 5! and 0! refer to 5 factorial and 0 factorial, respectively, where 0! is equal to 1.

06

Calculation of (50)

The calculation of 50is shown below:

(50)=5!0!(50)!=5×4×3×2×11(5)!=5×4×3×2×11(5×4×3×2×1)=120120=1

Therefore, the value of 50is 1.

07

(d) Definition of (44)

44, is often expressed by a person as4!4!(44)! for doing Mathematical calculations. Here, 4! refers to 4 factorials for both cases and can be calculated mathematically by a person.

08

Calculation of (44)

The value of 44is shown below:

(44)=4!4!(44)!=4×3×2×14×3×2×1(0)!=4×3×2×14×3×2×1(0)!=2424×1=2424=1

Therefore, the calculated value 44is 1.

09

(e) Definition of (54)

Anyone can express 54as 5!4!(54)!to calculate the final value. Here, 5! and 4! are short forms of 5 factorial and 4 factorials, respectively, used for calculation purposes.

10

Calculation of  54

The value of 54is shown below:

role="math" localid="1653657415643" (54)=5!4!(54)!=5×4×3×2×14×3×2×1(1)!=12024×1=5

Therefore, the actual value of 54is 5.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Do social robots walk or roll? Refer to the International Conference on Social Robotics (Vol. 6414, 2010) study of the trend in the design of social robots, Exercise 2.3 (p. 72). Recall that in a random sample of 106 social (or service) robots designed to entertain, educate, and care for human users, 63 were built with legs only, 20 with wheels only, 8 with both legs and wheels, and 15 with neither legs nor wheels. Assume the following: Of the 63 robots with legs only, 50 have two legs, 5 have three legs, and 8 have four legs; of the 8 robots with both legs and wheels, all 8 have two legs. Suppose one of the 106 social robots is randomly selected. Let x equal the number of legs on the robot.

  1. List the possible values of x.
  2. Find the probability distribution of x.
  3. Find E(x)and give a practical interpretation of its value.

Flaws in the plastic-coated wire. The British Columbia Institute of Technology provides on its Web site (www.math.bcit.ca) practical applications of statistics at mechanical engineering firms. The following is a Poisson application. A roll of plastic-coated wire has an average of .8 flaws per 4-meter length of wire. Suppose a quality-control engineer will sample a 4-meter length of wire from a roll of wire 220 meters in length. If no flaws are found in the sample, the engineer will accept the entire roll of wire. What is the probability that the roll will be rejected? What assumption did you make to find this probability?

Hospital patient interarrival times. The length of time between arrivals at a hospital clinic has an approximately exponential probability distribution. Suppose the mean time between arrivals for patients at a clinic is 4 minutes.

a. What is the probability that a particular interarrival time (the time between the arrival of two patients) is less than 1 minute?

b. What is the probability that the next four interarrival times are all less than 1 minute?

c. What is the probability that an interarrival time will exceed 10 minutes?

Space shuttle disaster. On January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded, killing all seven astronauts aboard. An investigation concluded that the explosion was caused by the failure of the O ring seal in the joint between the two lower segments of the right solid rocket booster. In a report made 1 year prior to the catastrophe, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) claimed that the probability of such a failure was about 1/ 60,000, or about once in every 60,000 flights. But a risk-assessment study conducted for the Air Force at about the same time assessed the probability to be 1/35, or about once in every 35 missions. (Note: The shuttle had flown 24 successful missions prior to the disaster.) Given the events of January 28, 1986, which risk assessment—NASA's or the Air Force's—appears more appropriate?

Examine the sample data in the accompanying table.

5.9 5.3 1.6 7.4 8.6 1.2 2.1

4.0 7.3 8.4 8.9 6.7 4.5 6.3

1.6 8.2 6.5 1.1 5.0 9.4 6.4

a. Construct a stem-and-leaf plot to assess whether thedata are from an approximately normal distribution.

b. Compute sfor the sample data.

c. Find the values of QL and QU, then use these values andthe value of sfrom part b to assess whether the data comefrom an approximately normaldistribution.

d. Generate a normal probability plot for the data and useit to assess whether the data are approximately normal.
