Answer:
i) 0.63
ii) 0.37
iii) 0.37
iv) 0.77
v) 0.51
Step-by-step explanation:
Total resistance value = 108
A = high shock resistance
B = high scratch resistance
when a disk is selected at random
i) P(A) = P ( high shock resistance )
= ( 55 + 13 ) / 108
= 68/108 = 17/27 = 0.63
ii) P( B ) = P ( high scratch resistance )
= ( 10 + 30 ) / 108
= 40 / 108 = 10/27 = 0.37
iii) P(A') = 1 - P(A)
= 1 - 17/27 = 10/27 = 0.37
iv) P( A U B ) = P(A) + P(B) - P( A n B )
= 0.63 + 0.37 - 0.233
= 0.766 ≈ 0.77
v) P( A' U B ) = P(A') + P(B) - P(A n B )
= 0.37 + 0.37 - 0.233
= 0.507 ≈ 0.51

The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:
SA = 2π r 2 + 2πrh note: that π= 3.14
a. Solve for h showing all work.
b. If the height of a can of soup is 5 inches and the radius is 1.5 inches, what is the surface area?
Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. SA = 2π r^2 + 2πrh
2πrh = SA - 2π r^2
h = (SA - 2πr^2)/2πr
When π = 3.14 we have
h = (SA - 6.28r^2)/ 6.28r
b. SA = 6.28*1.5^2 + 6.28*1.5* 5
= 61.23 in^2

4(x+9)=2x-6
Solve for x
Answer:
-21
Step-by-step explanation:
4(x+9) = 4x+36
4x+36 = 2x-6
-36 -36
minus 36 from both sides
4x = 2x-42
2x = -42
-42/2 = -21
x = -21
Hi there!
We are given the equation below:
[tex] \large \boxed{4(x + 9) = 2x - 6}[/tex]
1. Expand 4 in the expression.
When expand in the expression, it is like multiply everything in the expression. So when we expand 4 in x+9, it becomes 4(x)+9(4).[tex] \large{(4 \times x) + (9 \times 4) = 2x - 6} \\ \large{(4x) + (36) = 2x - 6}[/tex]
Cancel the brackets.
[tex] \large{4x + 36 = 2x - 6}[/tex]
2. Isolate x-term and solve for the variable.
Think it easy. If you want to isolate x-term then what should you do? Well simply swap sides, and change the operator/sign.[tex] \large{4x - 2x = - 6 - 36}[/tex]
Finally, combine like terms.
[tex] \large{2x = - 42}[/tex]
Then divide both sides by 2 so we can finally leave only x-term.
[tex] \large{ \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{ - 42}{2} } \\ \large \boxed{x = - 21}[/tex]
3. Check the solution if it is right or wrong.
This step is optional but if you are not confident on your answer, this step is recommended.To check the answer, we simply substitute the value of x which is -21 in the equation and see if both sides are equal or not. If both sides are equal then the answer is correct, if not then the answer is wrong. Therefore,
[tex] \large{4(x + 9) = 2x - 6 \longrightarrow 4( - 21 + 9) = 2 ( - 21) - 6} \\ \large{4( - 12) = - 42 - 6} \\ \large{ - 48 = - 48}[/tex]
Since both sides are equal when substitute in x = -21.
4. Answer
Hence, the answer for this equation is x = -21.I hope this helps and let me know if you have any doubts!

If a product normal retails for $40, and a customer has a coupon for 15% off, what will the discounted price of the product be?
Answer:
$34
Step-by-step explanation:
price of the product = $40
coupon = 15% off
discount price = 15% of price of a product
=15/100 * $40
=$600/100
=$6
New price of the product = original price - discount
=$40 - $6
=$34
In communicating with an orbiting satellite, suppose that a 30-bit message is sent to thesatellite. Transmission of messages can sometimes be distorted. If the probability of eachbit being received incorrectly is 0.001, where each bit is received independently of the others,what is the probability that at least one bit is received incorrectly?
Answer:
0.0296 = 2.96% probability that at least one bit is received incorrectly.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each bit, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is received correctly, or it its not. Each bit is received independently of the others, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
The probability of each bit being received incorrectly is 0.001
This means that [tex]p = 0.001[/tex]
30-bit message
This means that [tex]n = 30[/tex]
What is the probability that at least one bit is received incorrectly?
This is:
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{30,0}.(0.001)^{0}.(0.999)^{30} = 0.9704[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.9704 = 0.0296[/tex]
0.0296 = 2.96% probability that at least one bit is received incorrectly.
Consider the following conditional statement. Determine the contrapositive
of the statement and then determine if the contrapositive is true or false.
If two angles are not complements, then their measures do not add up to 180°.
The contrapositive of the statement is true.
The contrapositve of the statement is false.
Answer:
The contrapositive of the statement is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
For a general statement:
p ⇒ q
The contrapositive statement is:
¬q ⇒ ¬p
where:
¬q is the negation of the proposition q.
Here we have the statement:
If two angles are not complements, then their measures do not add up to 180°
So we have:
p = two angles are not complements
q = their measures do not add up to 180°
Then the negations are:
¬p = two angles are complements
¬q = their measures do add up to 180°
The contrapositive statement is:
"if for two angles their measures do add up to 180°, then the two angles are complements"
This is true, if for two angles the sum of their measures is equal to 180°, then these angles are complementary.
Then: The contrapositive of the statement is true.
the radius of a circle in cm ,with area 77 over 2 cm square is
Answer:
7/√2 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of circle = 77 cm^2
=> π(r)^2 = 77
=> (22/7) x (r)^2 = 77
=> (r)^2 = (77 x 7) / 22
=> (r)^2 = 49/2
=> (r) = 7/√2 cm
Suppose your marketing colleague used a known population mean and standard deviation to compute the standard error as 67.5 for samples of a particular size. You don't know the particular sample size but your colleague told you that the sample size is greater than 70. Your boss asks what the standard error would be if you quadruple (4x) the sample size. What is the standard error for the new sample size
Answer:
The standard error for the new sample size will be of 33.75.
Step-by-step explanation:
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
Standard error as 67.5 for samples of a particular size.
We have that [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex], that is, the standard error is inversely proportional to the square root of the sample size, so if you quadruple (4x) the sample size, the standard error will be divided by half. So
67.5/2 = 33.75
The standard error for the new sample size will be of 33.75.
A pizza company runs a marketing campaign based on their delivery time for pizzas. They claim that they will deliver a pizza within 30 minutes of ordering or it is free. In practice the time it takes to prepare a pizza and it being delivered is normally distributed with mean 25 minutes and standard deviation 3 minutes. What is the probability a pizza is delivered for free?On a particular Sunday, 40 pizzas were ordered. What is the probability that more than 2 were delivered for free?If the company wants to reduce the proportion of pizzas that are delivered free to 1%, what should the delivery time be advertised as?
Answer:
0.0475 = 4.75% probability a pizza is delivered for free.
0.2955 = 29.55% probability that more than 2 were delivered for free.
The delivery time should be advertised as 32 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the binomial distribution and the normal distribution.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Normally distributed with mean 25 minutes and standard deviation 3 minutes.
This means that [tex]\mu = 25, \sigma = 3[/tex]
What is the probability a pizza is delivered for free?
More than 30 minutes, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 30.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{30 - 25}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.67[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.67[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9525
1 - 0.9525 = 0.0475
0.0475 = 4.75% probability a pizza is delivered for free
What is the probability that more than 2 were delivered for free?
Multiple pizzas, so the binomial probability distribution is used.
0.0475 probability a pizza is delivered for free, which means that [tex]p = 0.0475[/tex]
40 pizzas, which means that [tex]n = 40[/tex]
This probability is:
[tex]P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{40,0}.(0.0475)^{0}.(0.9525)^{40} = 0.1428[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{40,1}.(0.0475)^{1}.(0.9525)^{39} = 0.2848[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{40,2}.(0.0475)^{2}.(0.9525)^{38} = 0.2769[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.1428 + 0.2848 + 0.2769 = 0.7045[/tex]
[tex]P(X > 2) = 1 - P(X \leq 2) = 1 - 0.7045 = 0.2955[/tex]
0.2955 = 29.55% probability that more than 2 were delivered for free.
If the company wants to reduce the proportion of pizzas that are delivered free to 1%, what should the delivery time be advertised as?
The 99th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.99, so X when Z = 2.327.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]2.327 = \frac{X - 25}{3}[/tex]
[tex]X - 25 = 2.327*3[/tex]
[tex]X = 32[/tex]
The delivery time should be advertised as 32 minutes.
Find the following list of data calculate a demean be the maid and see mode or mothers for the following numbers listed in the picture above above
Answer:
Mean = 4.8875
Median = 4.6
Mode = 4.5 and 7.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean is the sum of total of data divided by the sample size
Sum total = 1.5 + 4.7 + 6 + 7.7 + 7.7 + 4.5 + 2.5 + 4.5
Sum total = 39.1
Sample size = 8
Mean = 39.1/8
Mean = 4.8875
To get the median we need to first rearrange
1.5, 2.5, 4.5, 4.5, 4.7, 6, 7.7, 7.7
Median = 4.5 + 4.7/2
Median = 4.6
Hence the median is 4.6
Mode is the value occuring the most. Since 4.5 and 7.7 both occurs twice, hence the mode of the data is 4.5 and 7.7

Let r be the binomial random variable corresponding to the number of people that will live beyond their 90th birthday,
r ≥ 15.
We want to find
P(r ≥ 15)
using the normal approximation given 625 trials and a probability of a 4.4% success on a single trial.
Answer:
P(r ≥ 15) = 0.9943.
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.
Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.
The expected value of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]
The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:
[tex]\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}[/tex]
Normal probability distribution
Problems of normally distributed distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that [tex]\mu = E(X)[/tex], [tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}[/tex].
625 trials and a probability of a 4.4% success on a single trial.
This means that [tex]n = 625, p = 0.044[/tex]
Mean and standard deviation:
[tex]mu = E(X) = np = 625*0.044 = 27.5[/tex]
[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{625*0.044*0.956} = 5.13[/tex]
P(r ≥ 15)
Using continuity correction, this is [tex]P(r \geq 15 - 0.5) = P(r \geq 14.5)[/tex], which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 14.5. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{14.5 - 27.5}{5.13}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.53[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.53[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0057
1 - 0.0057 = 0.9943
So
P(r ≥ 15) = 0.9943.

Discuss the meaning of . Calculate the change in population between 1995 and 2000. Do we have enough information to calculate the population in 2020
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
The population of a certain town was 10,000 in 1990. The rate of change of a population, measured in hundreds of people per year, is modeled by P prime of t equals two-hundred times e to the 0.02t power, where t is measured in years since 1990. Discuss the meaning of the integral from zero to twenty of P prime of t, d t. Calculate the change in population between 1995 and 2000. Do we have enough information to calculate the population in 2020? If so, what is the population in 2020?
Solution :
According to the question,
The rate of change of population is given as :
[tex]$\frac{dP(t)}{dt}=200e^{0.02t}$[/tex] in 1990.
Now integrating,
[tex]$\int_0^{20}\frac{dP(t)}{dt}dt=\int_0^{20}200e^{0.02t} \ dt$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{200}{0.02}\left[e^{0.02(20)}-1\right]$[/tex]
[tex]$=10,000[e^{0.4}-1]$[/tex]
[tex]$=10,000[0.49]$[/tex]
=4900
[tex]$\frac{dP(t)}{dt}=200e^{0.02t}$[/tex]
[tex]$\int1.dP(t)=200e^{0.02t}dt$[/tex]
[tex]$P=\frac{200}{0.02}e^{0.02t}$[/tex]
[tex]$P=10,000e^{0.02t}$[/tex]
[tex]$P=P_0e^{kt}$[/tex]
This is initial population.
k is change in population.
So in 1995,
[tex]$P=P_0e^{kt}$[/tex]
[tex]$=10,000e^{0.02(5)}$[/tex]
[tex]$=11051$[/tex]
In 2000,
[tex]$P=10,000e^{0.02(10)}$[/tex]
[tex]=12,214[/tex]
Therefore, the change in the population between 1995 and 2000 = 1,163.

========================================================
Explanation:
The darkest shaded region is in the northern most region. This region is above both blue boundary lines.
A sample point from this region is (5,2)
We'll plug these coordinates into the first inequality of choice A
[tex]3x+4y \le 12\\\\3(5)+4(2) \le 12\\\\23 \le 12\\\\[/tex]
which is false. So we can rule out choice A.
We can rule out choice B for the exact same reason.
The answer is between C and D
---------------------------
Let's plug those x,y coordinates into the first inequality of choice C
[tex]3x+4y \ge 12\\\\3(5)+4(2) \ge 12\\\\23 \ge 12\\\\[/tex]
which is true. So far, so good.
Now repeat for the second inequality of choice C
[tex]2x-5y \ge 10\\\\2(5)-5(2) \ge 10\\\\0 \ge 10\\\\[/tex]
which is false. We rule out choice C. Choice D is the only thing left, so it must be the answer.
---------------------------
Let's check the second inequality of choice D just for the sake of completeness
[tex]2x-5y \le 10\\\\2(5)-5(2) \le 10\\\\0 \le 10\\\\[/tex]
which is true.
We can see that (x,y) = (5,2) makes both inequalities of choice D to be true, and therefore we have found the final answer.

I believe your answer is:
"Line y = −2x + 3 intersects line y = x − 5."
»»————- ★ ————-««
Here’s why:
When the system of equations are graphed, they would intersect at a point. This means that there is a solution to the system. The solution is [tex](\frac{8}{3} ,-\frac{7}{3} )[/tex].While the statement that the lines intersect the x-axis is true, the question asks the statement that describes the solution.

A large container of breath mints has a mass of 50 g. A small container has a mass of 10 g. What is the percent decrease from the mass of the large container to the mass of the small container? Show your work.
Answer:
80 percent decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
80% of 50 = 40 and 50 - 40 = 10
Answer:
It decreases 80%
Step-by-step explanation:
If the 50g one is 100%, and the 10g one is a fraction of that, find out what 10/50 is as a percent.
10/50= 20%
Because this is the remaining mass, the other 80% has been deducted meaning that the mass of the large container has decreased 80% to get to the mass of the smaller one.
11 Roger has m toy cars. Don has twice as many cars as Roger. Larry has five more cars than Roger. Write down an expression, in terms of m, to complete each statement. Don has cars H Larry has cars
Step-by-step explanation:
Roger has m toy cars.→ Number of cars Roger has = m
Don has twice as many cars as Roger.→ Number of cars Don has = 2(Cars Roger has)

In a mathematics each correct answer gains 5 marks - However, 1 mark is deducted for each incorrect answer. Mary answered 30 questions for a total of 78 marks Determine the number of correct and incorrect questions Mary answered.
Answer:
Correct answers= 18
Incorrect answers=30-18= 12 answers
Step-by-step explanation:
total questions=30
correct answers= x
incorrect answers= 30-x
given: 5 marks for each correct answer
therefore, marks for correct answers = 5*x = 5x
Given: 1 mark deducted for every incorrect answer
therefore, marks deducted = 1(30-x) = 30-x
Total marks scored= 78
★ The Difference of Marks scored for Correct Answers and Marks deducted for Incorrect Answers should be equal to 78
5x- (30-x) =78
5x-30+x=78
5x+x=78+30
6x= 108
x=108/6 = 18
Correct answers= 18
Incorrect answers=30-18= 12 answers
