A roll of steel is manufactured on a processing line. The anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll is two. What is the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel = 0.1353

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that:

A roll of steel is manufactured on a processing line. The anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll is two.

Let consider β to be the average value for defecting

So;

β = 2

Assuming Y to be the random variable which signifies the anticipated number of defects in a 10-foot segment of this roll.

Thus, y follows a poisson distribution as number of defect is infinite with the average value of β = 2

i.e

[tex]Y \sim P( \beta = 2)[/tex]

the probability mass function can be represented as follows:

[tex]\mathtt{P(y) = \dfrac{e^{- \beta} \ \beta^ \ y}{y!}}[/tex]

where;

y =  0,1,2,3 ...

Hence,  the probability of no defects in 10 feet of steel

y = 0

[tex]\mathtt{P(y =0) = \dfrac{e^{- 2} \ 2^ \ 0}{0!}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt{P(y =0) = \dfrac{0.1353 \times 1}{1}}[/tex]

P(y =0) = 0.1353

a mens clothing sore sold out of $50 jackets and $30 jackets for a total of $2360 if the store sold 12 more$30 jackets than$50 jackets how many$50 jackets were sold

Answers

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of $50 jackets that were sold, and let y represent how many $30 jackets were sold.

50x + 30y = 2360

y = x + 12

Solve by substitution by substituting the second equation into the first one. Then, solve for x:

50x + 30y = 2360

50x + 30(x + 12) = 2360

50x + 30x + 360 = 2360

80x + 360 = 2360

80x = 2000

x = 25

So, 25 $50 jackets were sold.

Answers

Answer:

3^x9, 15, 33, 87, 249(4, 87) for example

Step-by-step explanation:

a) First differences of the f(x) values in the table are ...

  19 -13 = 6, 37 -19 = 18, 91 -37 = 54, 253 -91 = 162

The second differences are not constant:

  18 -6 = 12, 54 -18 = 36, 162 -54 = 108

But, we notice that both the first and second differences have a common ratio. This is characteristic of an exponential function. The common ratio is 18/6 = 3, so the parent function is 3^x.

__

b) Translating a function down 4 units subtracts 4 from each y-value. The values of f(x) in the table would be ...

  9, 15, 33, 87, 249

c) The x-values of the function stay the same for a vertical translation, so the points in the table of the transformed function are ...

  (x, f(x)) = (1, 9), (2, 15), (3, 33), (4, 87), (5, 249)

Answer: I think this is it:

The parent function of the function represented in the table is exponential. If function f was translated down 4 units, the f(x)-values would be decreased by 4. A point in the table for the transformed function would be (4,87)

A. 70.69
B. 50.2
C. 39.8
D. 19.4​

Answers

Answer:

A. 70.69 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two lines:

[tex]3x - 4y + 5 = 0 \\2x + 3y -1 = 0[/tex]

To find:

Angle between the two lines = ?

Solution:

Acute Angle between two lines can be found by using the below formula:

[tex]tan \theta = |\dfrac{(m_1 - m_2)}{ (1 + m_1m_2)}|[/tex]

Where [tex]\theta[/tex] is the acute angle between two lines.

[tex]m_1, m_2[/tex] are the slopes of two lines.

Slope of a line represented by [tex]ax+by+c=0[/tex] is given as:

[tex]m = -\dfrac{a}{b }[/tex]

So,

[tex]m_1 = -\dfrac{3}{- 4} = \dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]m_2 = -\dfrac{2}{ 3}[/tex]

Putting the values in the formula:

[tex]tan \theta = |\dfrac{(\dfrac{3}{4}- (-\dfrac{2}{3}))}{ (1 + \dfrac{3}{4}\times (-\dfrac{2}{3 }))}|\\\Rightarrow tan \theta = |\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{2}{3}}{ (1 -\dfrac{1}{2})}|\\\Rightarrow tan \theta = |\dfrac{\dfrac{17}{12}}{ \dfrac{1}{2}}|\\\Rightarrow tan \theta = \dfrac{17}{6}\\\Rightarrow \theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{17}{6})\\\Rightarrow \theta = \bold{70.69^\circ}[/tex]

If the errors produced by a forecasting method for 3 observations are +3, +3, and −3, then what is the mean squared error?

Answers

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean squared error (MSE)of a set of observations can be calculated using the formula :

(1/n)Σ(Actual values - predicted values)^2

Where n = number of observations

Steps :

Error values of each observation (difference between actual and predicted values) is squared.

Step 2:

The squared values are summed

Step 3:

The summation is the divided by the number of observations

The difference between the actual and predicted values is known as the ERROR.

(1/n)Σ(ERROR)^2

n = 3

Error = +3, +3, - 3

MSE = (1/3)Σ[(3)^2 + (3)^2 + (-3)^2]

MSE = (1/3) × [9 + 9 + 9]

MSE = (1/3) × 27

MSE = 9

The area of a triangle is 24 square inches. What is the height of the triangle if the base length is 4 inches?
6 inches
8 inches
12 inches
20 inches

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed { \sf 12 \ inches}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the following formula.

[tex]a=\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex]

The area of the triangle is 24 square inches and the base is 4 inches long.

a= 24 in² b= 4 in

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]24 \ in^2 = \frac {1}{2} * 4 \ in * h[/tex]

Multiply on the right side of the equation.

[tex]24 \ in ^2 = ( \frac{1}{2} * 4 \ in ) * h[/tex]

[tex]24 \ in ^2 =2 \ in *h[/tex]

We are solving for the height of the triangle, so we must isolate the variable h. It is being multiplied by 2 inches. The inverse of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by 2 inches.

[tex]\frac { 24 \ in ^2 }{2 \ in }= \frac{ 2 \ in *h}{ 2 \ in}[/tex]

[tex]\frac { 24 \ in ^2 }{2 \ in }= h[/tex]

[tex]12 \ in = h[/tex]

The height of the triangle is 12 inches.

(Small sample confidence intervals for a population mean) suppose you are taking a sampling of 15 measurements. you find that x=75 and s =5. assuming normality, the 99% confidence interval for the population mean is:__________

Answers

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval is  [tex]71.67 < \mu < 78.33[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The sample  size  is  [tex]n = 15[/tex]

      The  sample  mean is  [tex]\= x = 75[/tex]

        The  standard deviation is  [tex]s = 5[/tex]

 Given that confidence is  99%  then the level of significance is mathematically represented as

              [tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]

             [tex]\alpha = 1\%[/tex]

             [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical values of  [tex]\frac{ \alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table

   The  value is

                  [tex]Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]

Generally the margin for error is mathematically represented as

            [tex]E = Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } * \frac{ s}{ \sqrt{n} }[/tex]

=>         [tex]E = 2.58 * \frac{ 5}{ \sqrt{15} }[/tex]

=>         [tex]E = 3.3307[/tex]

   The  99% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

             [tex]\= x -E < \mu < \= x +E[/tex]

=>          [tex]75 - 3.3307 < \mu <75 + 3.3307[/tex]

=>          [tex]71.67 < \mu < 78.33[/tex]

divide 111001 by 1101​

Answers

Based on the fact that you asked this three times and got the same answer three times, I suspect the interpretation made by the users that posted those answers was incorrect, and that you meant to ask about dividing in base 2.

We have

111001₂ = 1×2⁵ + 1×2⁴ + 1×2³ + 1×2⁰ = 57

1101₂ = 1×2³ + 1×2² + 1×2⁰ = 13

and 57/13 = (4×13 + 5)/13 = 4 + 5/13.

4 = 2² is already a power of 2, so we have

111001₂/1101₂ = 1×2² + 5/13

we just need to convert 5/13. To do this, we look for consecutive negative powers of 2 that 5/13 falls between, then expand 5/13 as the sum of the smaller power of 2 and some remainder term. For instance,

• 1/4 < 5/13 < 1/2, and

5/13 - 1/4 = (20 - 13)/52= 7/52

so that

5/13 = 1/4 + 7/52

or

5/13 = 1×2 ⁻² + 7/52

Then a partial conversion into base 2 gives us

111001₂/1101₂ = 1×2² + 1×2 ⁻² + 7/52

111001₂/1101₂ = 100.01₂ + 7/52

Continuing in this fashion, we find

• 1/8 < 7/52 < 1/4, and

7/52 = 1/8 + 1/104

==>   111001₂/1101₂ = 100.011₂ + 1/104

• 1/128 < 1/104 < 1/64, and

1/104 = 1/128 + 3/1664

==>   111001₂/1101₂ = 100.0110001₂ + 3/1664

• 1/1024 < 3/1664 < 1/512, and

3/1664 = 1/1024 + 11/13312

==>   111001₂/1101₂ = 100.0110001001₂ + 11/13312

• 1/2048 < 11/13312 < 1/1024, and

11/13312 = 1/2048 + 9/26624

==>   111001₂/1101₂ = 100.01100010011₂ + 9/26624

• 1/4096 < 9/26624 < 1/2048, and

9/26624 = 1/4096 + 5/53248

==>   111001₂/1101₂ = 100.011000100111₂ + 5/53248

and so on.

It turns out that this pattern repeats, so that

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{111001_2}{1101_2} = 100.\overline{011000100111}_2[/tex]
