The life of a semiconductor laser at a constant power is normally distributed with a mean of 7000 hours and a standard deviation

of 600 hours. What is the probability that a laser fails before 5000 hours

Answer:

0.04% probability that a laser fails before 5000 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 7000, \sigma = 600

What is the probability that a laser fails before 5000 hours

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 5000. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{5000 - 7000}{600}

Z = -3.33

Z = -3.33 has a pvalue of 0.0004.

0.04% probability that a laser fails before 5000 hours

At a bake sale, as student spent $11.00 buying 3 brownies and 5 cookies. His friend spent $3.95 buying 1 brownie and 2 cookies.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

$$2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b = the cost of one brownie, c = cost of one cookie

3b + 5c = 11

b+2c = 3.95

Times 3 on both sides on the second equation above to get the following:

3b + 6c = 11.85

3b+6c - (3b+5c) = 11.85-11

3b+6c-3b-5c = 0.85

c = 0.85

To find the value of b, use substitution:

b+2c = 3.95

b = 3.95-2c

= 3.95 - 2\times0.85

= 2.25

\therefore the cost of a brownie is $$2.25

Hope this helps :)

What is the equation of the line expressed in slope-intercept form?
Alisiya [41]
(x,y)
x=how far to the right
y=how far up
ok so
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept or where the line intercept the y axis

it looks like the line intercept the y axis at 2 high so
y=mx+2
we look at our options and we see that there is only 1 equation that has y=mx+2
that is B
B is the answer

How to solve using substitution
DiKsa [7]
X+5 = x^2 - x + 2
0 = x^2 -2x - 3
0 = (x-3)(x+1)

x = -1,3

y = -1 + 5 OR y = 3+5
y = 4 OR y = 8

y = 4,8

So we have two ordered pairs, (-1,4) and (3,8).

Hope that helped!

can you mark my answer as brainliest btw?

Please help! Calculate the average rate of change for the given function, from x = 1 to x = 4.
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

  4)  2

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of change is ...

  (f(4) -f(1))/(4 -1) = (10 -4)/3 = 6/3 = 2
