The measured weight is (2 + 3/4) lb, so the correct option is A.

<h3>How to read the measure?</h3>

First, we can see that the needle is between the 2lb and 3lb mark, so we know that we have a measure between these two values.

Now, let's count the number of small lines between the needle and the 2lb mark. There are 12 marks (the 12th is below the needle). Then the measure will be:

(2 + 12/16) lb.

Now we want to simplify the fraction. If we divide both numerator and denominator by 4, we get:

12/16 = 3/4

Then the weight is:

(2 + 3/4) lb

Then the correct option is A.

Two telephone calls come into a switchboard at random times in a fixed one-hour period. Assume that the calls are made independe

svp [43]

Answer:

0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Since the times are uniform distributed over the one hour period (0,1):

Then;

$f_1(y_1) = 1$

$f_2(y_2) = 1$

So, $Y_1$ and $Y_2$ are independent; then:

$f(y_1|y_2) = f_1(y_1)f_2(y_2) \\ \\ = 1(1) = 1$

$P(Y_1\le 0.5 Y_2 \le 0.5) = \int ^{0.5}_{0} \int ^{0.5}_{0} f(y_1,y_2) dy_{2}dy_{1}$

$\implies \int ^{0.5}_{0} \int ^{0.5}_{0} (1) dy_{2}dy_{1}$

$= \dfrac{1}{4}$

= 0.25

Help with the 2 question .. 20 points

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

c = a - 2b

= < 4, 5, 6 > - 2 < 1, 2, 3 > ← multiply each component by 2

= < 4, 5, 6 > - < 2, 4, 6 > ← subtract corresponding components

= < 4 - 2, 5 - 4, 6 - 6 > = < 2, 1, 0 >

| c | = $\sqrt{2^2+1^2+0^2}$ = $\sqrt{4+1+0}$ = $\sqrt{5}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sum the product of corresponding components

u.v = (3 × 2) + (- 2 × - 1) + (4 × - 6) = 6 + 2 - 24 = - 16

What is the Radius of a circle if a 16 unit chord is 6 units from the center of the circle

velikii [3]

Answer:

radius = 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

height of triangle = 6 units

base of triangle = 16/2 = 8 units

radius² = 6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100

radius = √100 = 10 units
