The automatic opening device of a military cargo parachute has been designed to open when the parachute is 200 m above the groun

d. Suppose opening altitude actually has a normal distribution with mean value 200 m and standard deviation 30 m. Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m. What is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes?

Step-by-step answer:

Given:

mean, mu = 200 m

standard deviation, sigma = 30 m

sample size, N = 5

Maximum deviation for no damage, D = 100 m

Solution:

Z-score for maximum deviation

= (D-mu)/sigma

= (100-200)/30

= -10/3

From normal distribution tables, the probability of right tail with

Z= - 10/3

is 0.9995709, which represents the probability that the parachute will open at 100m or more.

Thus, by the multiplication rule, the probability that all five parachutes will ALL open at 100m or more is the product of the individual probabilities, i.e.

P(all five safe) = 0.9995709^5 = 0.9978565

So there is an approximately 1-0.9978565 = 0.214% probability that at least one of the five parachutes will open below 100m

Are the graphs of the lines in the pair parallel? Explain.
jonny [76]
You need to convert the second equation to slope/intercept form. The first equation is in that form already. Then you can compare  slopes.

-6x + 8y = 14
8y = 6x + 14
y = (3/4)x + 14/8

SO THE SLOPE IS 3/4 which is the same as slope of equation 1

Therfore they are parallel.

The pentagon below has an area of 8.3 square centimeters and a side of 2.2. What is the approximate length of the apothem? A.0.4
nalin [4]

Answer:

C. 1.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A pentagon is a polygon with 5 sides.  

The formula for the area of a regular polygon is

A=\frac{1}{2}ap

where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter.  The perimeter is found by multiplying the number of sides of the figure by the length of 1 of those sides:

5(2.2) = 11

Now we have everything we need to solve for the length of the apothem.  

8.3=\frac{1}{2}a(11)

Begin by multiplying both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction, so

16.6 = 11a  Divide both sides by 11 to get

a = 1.5090909 or

C. 1.5 cm
