Eleanor and Max used two Rectangular wooden boards to make a set for the school play one board was 6 feet long,And other was 5 1

/2 feet long the two boards had equal widths. The total area of the set was 60 3/8 square feet. what is the width

The total area is the product of length and width

... total area = (length1 × width) + (length2 × width)

... = (length1 + length2) × width

... 60 3/8 = (6 + 5 1/2) × width

... (60 3/8)/(11 1/2) = width = 5 1/4 . . . . feet

The width of the boards use for the set was 5 1/4 feet.

_____

A suitable calculator can give you this answer directly. Others may ask you to convert to or from decimal feet.

___

The method conventionally taught to do division with mixed numbers is to convert them to improper fractions:

... 60 3/8 = (60·8 +3)/8 = 483/8

... 11 1/2 = (11·2 + 1)/2 = 23/2

Then, invert the denominator and multiply:

... (483/8)/(23/2) = (483/8) × (2/23) = 483/(4·23)

... = 483/92 = 5 23/92 = 5 1/4 . . . . . . . . remembering that 92 = 4·23

_____

It isn't clear whether this is a problem about areas, or a problem about mixed-number arithmetic. It is a good idea to get comfortable with arithmetic using numbers in any form: integers, decimals, mixed numbers, fractions, percents.

Thetime(inhours)requiredtorepairamachineis an exponentially distributed random variable with parameter λ = 1 . What is 2 (a) the
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a) 0.1353

b) 0.3679

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by defining the random variable T.

T : ''The time (in hours) required to repair a machine''

T ~ exp (λ)

T ~ exp (1)

The probability density function for the exponential distribution is

(In the equation I replaced λ = L)

f(x)=Le^{-Lx}

With L > 0 and x ≥ 0

In this exercise λ = 1 ⇒

f(x)=e^{-x}

For a)

P(T>2)

P(T>2)=1-P(T\leq 2)

P(T>2)=1-\int\limits^2_0 {e^{-x} } \, dx

P(T>2)=1-(-e^{-2}+1)

P(T>2)=e^{-2}=0.1353

For b)

P(T\geq 10/T>9)

The event (T ≥ 10 / T > 9) is equivalent to the event T ≥ 1 so they have the same probability of occur

P(T\geq 10/T>9)=P(T\geq 1)

P(T\geq 1)=1-P(T

P(T\geq 1)=1-(-e^{-1}+1)=e^{-1}=0.3679
