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

What is the width of this shape
77julia77 [94]
We see that the area is 159 3/8 and the length is 18 3/4.

Because the area is the length*width, to find the width, we must divide the area by the length.

Think of it this way:
A = l*w

Divide l on both sides:
\frac{A}{l} = w

And w is what we're looking for.
So, divide 159 3/8 by 18 3/4. 

You should get that the width is 8.5 feet :)

so
x=y+7

2) </span><span>Variable x is also 1 less than y.
x=y-1

therefore 

the answer is
the option
</span><span>x = y + 7
x = y – 1</span>
