Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Without using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion at all, you know there is one positive real root. Descartes' rule of signs tells you the number of positive real roots is equal to the number of sign changes in the coefficients (perhaps less a multiple of 2). There is one sign change in + + + + - - , so there is one positive real root.

(a) The Routh array starts as two rows of the polynomial's coefficients, alternate coefficients on each row. For this odd-degree polynomial, the number of coefficients is even, so no zero-padding is necessary at the right end of the second row. That is, we start with ...
The next row is formed from combinations of coefficients in the two rows above. The computation is similar to that of a determinant. By matching the numbers to those in the array, you can see the pattern of the computation.
The next row values are ...
Simplifying, we find this row to be ...
The zero row is a special case that requires we proceed as follows. The row above (identified with s⁴) represents an "auxiliary polynomial":
To continue the process, we replace the zero row by the coefficients of the derivative of this auxiliary polynomial. Proceeding as before, the array now becomes ...
The number of sign changes in the first column (1) tells the number of roots in the right half-plane. The auxiliary polynomial will give us the remaining two pairs of roots:
So, we have determined there to be ...

(b) The original polynomial can be factored as ...
p(s) = (s +2)(s² +25)(s +1)(s -1)
p(s) = (s +2)(s +1)(s -5i)(s +5i)(s -1)
This verifies our result from part (a).

Additional comments
Any row can be multiplied by a convenient factor to simplify the arithmetic. Here, it would be convenient to divide the second row by 2 and the third row by 8.
A zero element (not row) in the first column is replaced by "epsilon" (a small positive number) and the rest of the arithmetic is continued as normal. That row is not counted (it is ignored) when counting sign changes in the first column.
Answer:
P(B)=0.30
Step-by-step explanation:
Out of 1000 Voters, 30% favor Jones.
Event S=Favors Jones on First Trial
Event B=S occurs on Second Trial
P(S)=0.30
P(S')=1-0.30=0.70
Event B could occur in two ways
Therefore,
P(B)=P(SS)+P(S'S)
=(0.3X0.3)+(0.7X0.3)
=0.09+0.21
=0.3
Therefore, the probability of event B(that event S occurs on the second trial), P(B)=0.30.
The proportion of production that is defective and from plant A is
... 0.35·0.25 = 0.0875
The proportion of production that is defective and from plant B is
... 0.15·0.05 = 0.0075
The proportion of production that is defective and from plant C is
... 0.50·0.15 = 0.075
Thus, the proportion of defective product that is from plant C is
... 0.075/(0.0875 +0.0075 +0.075) = 75/170 = 15/34 ≈ 44.12%

P(C | defective) = P(C&defective)/P(defective)
The question required the use of Bayes' theorem to determine the probability of a defective product coming from plant c. Given the probabilities of defectiveness for each plant, the calculation indicated that there is approximately a 54.55% chance that a defective product came from plant c.
The problem described can be solved using Bayes' theorem, which is a principle in Probability that is used when we need to revise/or update the probabilities of events given new data. Since a defective product is received, and we need to determine the probability of it coming from plant c, we apply Bayes' theorem for the probability of events a, b, and c (representative of the products from the respective plants).
The Bayesian formula we will use, given the probabilities of a, b and c respectively and the probability of receiving a nondefective product from these plants, is: P(c|defective) = [P(defective|c) * P(c)] / [P(defective|a) * P(a) + P(defective|b) * P(b) + P(defective|c) * P(c)].
First, calculate the probability of a defective product from each plant (1 minus the probability of a nondefective product): these are 0.25 for plant a, 0.05 for plant b, and 0.15 for plant c.
Then substitute the values: P(c|defective) = [0.15 * 0.50] / [(0.25 * 0.35) + (0.05 * 0.15) + (0.15 * 0.5)] = 0.075 / 0.1375 = 0.5454545.
So, given a defective product, there is approximately a 54.55% chance that it was produced by plant c.

The required probability that a bottle has a volume greater than 992 mL is 0.84134. Option C is correct
Given that,
A bottler of drinking water fills plastic bottles with a mean volume of 999 milliliters (ml) and a standard deviation of 7 ml. The fill volumes are normally distributed. What is the probability that a bottle has a volume greater than 992 mL, is to be determined
Probability can be defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of events.
We use Z-statistic to find out the probability,
z = (x − μ) / σ
x = raw score = 992 mL
μ = population mean = 999 mL
σ = standard deviation
z = [992 − 999]/7
z = -1
P-value from Z-Table:
P(x<992) = 0.15866
P(x>992) = 1 - P(x<992) = 0.84134
Thus, the required probability that a bottle has a volume greater than 992 mL is 0.84134

Answer:
0.8413
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the z score.
z = (x − μ) / σ
z = (992 − 999) / 7
z = -1
Use a chart or calculator to find the probability.
P(Z > -1)
= 1 − P(Z < -1)
= 1 − 0.1587
= 0.8413

460
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
87
Step-by-step explanation:
= 17 1/2 ÷ 1/5
= 35/2 (improper fraction should be used as a dividend) × 5/1 (the divisor will be reciprocal and the operation will be multiplication)
= 175/2
= 87 1/2
Since the question is how many ⅕, the fraction will not be included.
