I think it would be 15, because 3 doesn't go in evenly into 35. You might have the order of the ratio messed up.

3:7 =

3/7

3/7 = x/35

7x = 105

x = 15

Answer:

36.58% probability that one of the devices fail

Step-by-step explanation:

For each device, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it fails, or it does not fail. The probability of a device failling is independent of other devices. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

A total of 15 devices will be used.

This means that $n = 15$

Assume that each device has a probability of 0.05 of failure during the course of the monitoring period.

This means that $p = 0.05$

What is the probability that one of the devices fail?

This is $P(X = 1)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 1) = C_{15,1}.(0.05)^{1}.(0.95)^{14} = 0.3658$

Need help on this<br><br> Z+4>2z

snow_lady [41]

Answer: z < 4

z+4 > 2z

z+4-z > 2z-z ..... Subtract z from both sides

4 > z

z < 4

So the solution set for z is any number that is less than 4, which could be something like z = 2 or z = 3.

Alexei wants to hang a mirror in his boat and put a frame around it. The mirror and frame must have an area of 19.25 square feet

zhuklara [117]

Let

x---------> the thickness of the frame in feet

At-------> Area of the mirror and the frame in square feet

we know that

$At=19.25ft^{2}$ ------> equation $1$

$At=(3+2x)*(5+2x)\\ At=3*5+3*2x+5*2x+2x*2x\\ At=15+6x+10x+4x^{2} \\ At=4x^{2} +16x+15$ --------> equation $2$

equate equation $1$ and equation $2$

$19.25=4x^{2} +16x+15\\ 4x^{2} +16x+15-19.25=0\\ 4x^{2} +16x-4.25=0$

therefore

the answer is the option

$C. 4x2 + 16x - 4.25 = 0$
