Suppose a nuclear power plant disaster occurs. How could GDP be a "false beacon" in this case?

1 answer:

4 0

If there was a nuclear plant disaster, then GDP would be a false beacon because it would account for government spending but not for the pollution caused.

<h3>Why would GDP be a false beacon?</h3>

Two of the components of GDP are government spending and private investment.

If there is a nuclear plant disaster, either the government will spend a lot to clean it up, or a private company will depending on if the plant is public or private.

GDP would therefore increase.

This would be a false beacon however, because this increase would not take into account the nuclear pollution that would have occurred that would negatively impact future production.

Answer:

a. P(x>20)=0.19

b. P(x≥6)=0.72

c. P(x≤20)=0.81

d. A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

1) the probability that a student makes fewer than 6 mistakes is 0.28

$P(x$

2) The probaiblity that a student makes between 6 to 20 mistakes is 0.53.

$P(6\leq x\leq20)=0.53$

We will express the proabilibities in function of the information we have.

a. Probability that a student makes more than 20 mistakes.

$P(x>20)=1-P(x\leq20)=1-(P(x20)=1-(0.28+0.53)=1-0.81=0.19$

b. Probability that the student make 6 or more mistakes

$P(x\geq6)=1-P(Px$

c. Probability that a student makes 20 mistakes at most

$P(x\leq20)=P(x$

d. A and C, because A takes a event of more than 20 mistakes and C takes the event of 20 or less mistakes. Both events cover a probability of 1.

Find the leg of each isosceles right triangle when the hypotenuse is of the given measure. Given = 8 cm.

kogti [31]

An isosceles right triangle is composed of a right angle and two congruent acute angles. In this case, 90 + 2x = 180 where x is the acute angle. x is equal to 45 degrees. Using sine law, 8/sin 90 = y / sin 45 where y is the leg of the triangle. the leg's length is equal to 4 sqrt 2.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

121 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is the height multiplied by the base divided by 2. Since this is a right triangle, you can simply use the two legs for this. The area of this triangle is therefore:

$\dfrac{24.2\cdot 10}{2}=\dfrac{242}{2}=121$

Hope this helps!
