It is hard to calculate the volume of a mountain but several estimates put the volume of Mount Everest at around 2,413 cubic kil

ometers. The Dallas Cowboys Stadium (currently the largest football stadium in the U.S.) has a volume of 140 million cubic feet. How many Cowboy stadiums could fit inside of Mount Everest?

Answer:

About 609,000 Cowboy stadiums could fit inside of Mount Everest

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

The estimate volume of Mount Everest is at around 2,413\ km^{3}

The Dallas Cowboys Stadium has a volume of 140,000,000\ ft^{3}

step 1

Convert ft³ to km³

we know that

1 km=3,280.84 ft

so

140,000,000\ ft^{3}=140,000,000*(1/3,280.84)^{3}=0.003964\ km^{3}

step 2

To find how many Cowboy stadiums could fit inside of Mount Everest, divide the volume of Mount Everest by the volume of the Dallas Cowboys Stadium

2,413/0.003964=608,729

Round to the nearest Thousands

608,729=609,000

The volume of Mount Everest is about 609,000 times greater than the volume of the Dallas Cowboys Stadium

Two types of defects are observed in the production of integrated circuit boards. It is estimated that 6% of the boards have sol
aalyn [17]

Answer:

(a) 0.09

(b) 0.06

(c) 0.0018

(d) 0.9118

(e) 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>A</em> = boards have solder defects and <em>B</em> = boards have surface defects.

The proportion of boards having solder defects is, P (A) = 0.06.

The proportion of boards having surface-finish defects is, P (B) = 0.03.

It is provided that the events A and B are independent, i.e.

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)

(a)

Compute the probability that either a solder defect or a surface-finish defect or both are found as follows:

= P (A or B) + P (A and B)

=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap B)\\=P(A)+P(B)\\=0.06+0.03\\=0.09

Thus, the probability that either a solder defect or a surface-finish defect or both are found is 0.09.

(b)

The probability that a solder defect is found is 0.06.

(c)

The probability that both defect are found is:

P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)\\=0.06\times0.03\\=0.0018

Thus, the probability that both defect are found is 0.0018.

(d)

The probability that none of the defect is found is:

P(A^{c}\cup B^{c})=1-P(A\cup B)\\=1-P(A)-P(B)+P(A\cap B)\\=1-P(A)-P(B)+[P(A)\times P(B)]\\=1-0.06-0.03+(0.06\times0.03)\\=0.9118

Thus, the probability that none of the defect is found is 0.9118.

(e)

The probability that the defect found is a surface finish is 0.03.
