he should know how much gallons he need to fill his car up
multiply 1.50 by the amount of gallons he need so he should know how much money to spend on that many gallons

A machine making computer chips isn't working correctly, and 5% of the computer chips it makes are defective. If an inspector ch

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

0.25% probability that they are both defective

Step-by-step explanation:

For each computer chip, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are defective, or they are not. The probability of a computer chip being defective is independent of other chips. 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.

5% of the computer chips it makes are defective.

This means that $p = 0.05$

If an inspector chooses two computer chips randomly (meaning they are independent from each other), what is the probability that they are both defective?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So

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

$P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.05)^{2}.(0.95)^{0} = 0.0025$

0.25% probability that they are both defective

You are designing a rectangular poster to contain 7575 in2 of printing with a 33-in margin at the top and bottom and a 11-in m

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The dimensions of the rectangular poster is 15 in by 5 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, the area of the rectangular poster is 75 in².

Let the length of the rectangular poster be x and the width of the rectangular poster be y.

The area of the poster = xy in².

$\therefore xy=75$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{75}{x}$ ....(1)

1 in margin at each sides and 3 in margin at top and bottom.

Then the length of printing space is= (x-2.3) in

=(x-6) in

The width of printing space is = (y-2.1) in

=(y-2) in

The area of the printing space is A =(x-6)(y-2) in²

∴ A =(x-6)(y-2)

Putting the value of y

$\Rightarrow A =(x-6)(\frac{75}{x}-2)$

$\Rightarrow A = 87-\frac{450}{x}-2x$

Differentiating with respect to x

$A '= \frac{450}{x^2}-2$

Again differentiating with respect to x

$A''=-\frac{900}{x^3}$

To find the minimum area of printing space, we set A' = 0

$\therefore \frac{450}{x^2}-2=0$

$\Rightarrow 450 =2x^2$

$\Rightarrow x^2=225$

$\Rightarrow x=\pm 15$

Now putting x=±15 in A''

$A''|_{x=15}=-\frac{900}{15^3}$

$A''|_{x=-15}=-\frac{900}{(-15)^3}=\frac{900}{(15)^3}>0$

Since at x=15 , A"<0 Therefore at x=15 , the area will be minimize.

From (1) we get

$y=\frac{75}{x}$

Putting the value of x

$y=\frac{75}{15}$

=5 in

The dimensions of the rectangular poster is 15 in by 5 in.
