The average lifetime of a set of tires is 3.4 years. The manufacturer will replace any set of tires failing within three years o

f the date of purchase. The lifetime of these tires is known to follow an exponential distribution. What is the probability that the tires will fail within three years of the date of purchase?

Answer: the probability that the tires will fail within three years of the date of purchase is 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The average lifetime of a set of tires is 3.4 years. It means that μ = 3.4

Decay parameter, m = 1/3.4 = 0.294

The probability density function is

f(x) = me^-mx

Where x is a continuous random variable representing the time interval of interest(the reliability period that we are testing)

Since x = 3 years,

Therefore, the probability that the tires will fail within three years of the date of purchase is

f(3) = 0.294e^-(0.294 × 3)

f(3) = 0.294e^- 0.882

f(3) = 0.12

Write an equation of a line that contains the points P(5,0) and Q(7,-3)
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

y=-3/2x+7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the slope by subtracting second point,(7,-3), from the first point, (5,0), you get the slope of -3/2.

you need to put it on a graph with that slope, place the original two points and you move the slope up the y-axis 7.5, making the y-intercept (7.5,0)

When dividing fractions, the divisor must be inverted then multiplied with the other fraction?
Lana71 [14]
Yes. That statement is true.

For example in : (1/2) divided by (3/4), you would invert 3/4 to make 4/3 and change the divide symbol to the multiply symbol. Becoming:

(1/2) multiplied by (4/3)<em> = </em><em>(1/2) divided by (3/4) = 0.66r</em>
