Refer to the diagram shown below.

Let x = the length of the third side (the hypotenuse) of the right triangle.
From the Pythagorean Theorem, obtain
x² = 9² + 40² = 81 + 1600 = 1681
x = 41

Answer: 41

El área de este polígono regular es la suma de las áreas de los 4 rectángulos y 2 cuadrados, es decir:

$A_{tot} = 4\cdot A_{r} + 2 \cdot A_{c}$

$A_{tot} = 4 \cdot (10)\cdot x + 2\cdot x^{2}$

El cual corresponde con la opción 1.

Three ounces of cinnamon cost $2.40. If there are 16 ounces in 1 pound, how much does cinnamon cost per pound?

Nikolay [14]

$12.80 is your answer.. see all you needed to do was divide $2.40 by three.. as that is one oz you would only then multiply by twelve for your answer.

Answer:

(a) $E(X) = 950$

(b) $COV = 0.007255$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem can be solved using binomial distribution since the product either fails or passes, the probability of failure or success is fixed and there are n repeated trials.

probability of failure = q = 0.05

probability of success = p = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95

number of trials = n = 1000

(a) What is the expected number of non-defective units?

The expected number of non-defective units is given by

$E(X) = n \times p \\\\E(X) = 1000 \times 0.95 \\\\E(X) = 950$

(b) what is the COV of the number of non-defective units?

The coefficient of variance is given by

$COV = \frac{\sigma}{E(X)}$

Where the standard deviation is given by

$\sigma = \sqrt{n \times p\times q} \\\\\sigma = \sqrt{1000 \times 0.95\times 0.05} \\\\\sigma = 6.892$

So the coefficient of variance is

$COV = \frac{6.892}{950}$

$COV = 0.007255$

(c) What is the probability of having more than 980 non-defective units?

We can use the Normal distribution as an approximation to the Binomial distribution since n is quite large and so is p.

$P(X > 980) = 1 - P(X < 980)\\\\P(X > 980) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\$

We need to consider the continuity correction factor whenever we use continuous probability distribution (Normal distribution) to approximate discrete probability distribution (Binomial distribution).

$P(X > 980) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{979.5 - 950}{6.892} )\\\\P(X > 980) = 1 - P(Z < \frac{29.5}{6.892} )\\\\P(X > 980) = 1 - P(Z < 4.28)\\\\$

The z-score corresponding to 4.28 is 0.99999

$P(X > 980) = 1 - 0.99999\\\\P(X > 980) = 0.00001\\\\$

So it means that it is very unlikely that there will be more than 980 non-defective units.
