Answer:

The company should guarantee a lifetime of less than equal to 20.95 years so that less than 3% of the television sets fail while under warranty.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 36 years

Standard Deviation, σ = 8 years

We are given that the distribution of life of television sets is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.03.

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 36}{8})=0.03  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

\displaystyle\frac{x - 36}{8} =-1.881\\\\x = 20.952\approx 20.95  

Thus, the company should guarantee a lifetime of less than or equal to 20.95 years so that less than 3% of the television sets fail while under warranty.

Find the value of x in the following diagram,<br> 3x + 10<br> Here, B and D are points of tangency.
SVEN [57.7K]

<u>Given</u>:

The given circle with center at C. The lines AB and AD are tangents to the circle C.

The length of AB is (3x + 10)

The length of AD is (7x - 6)

We need to determine the value of x.

<u>Value of x:</u>

Since, we know the property of tangent that, "if two tangents from the same exterior point are tangent to a circle, then they are congruent".

We shall determine the value of x using the above property.

Thus, we have;

AB = AD

Substituting the values, we get;

3x+10=7x-6

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 7x, we get;

-4x+10=-6

Subtracting both sides of the equation by 10, we get;

-4x=-16

Dividing both sides of the equation by -4, we get;

x=4

Thus, the value of x is 4.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer(s):

Exact Form: x + 2 y − 3 z = 15 , 2 x − 2 z = 6 , 3 2 3

Mixed Number Form: x + 2 y − 3 z = 15 , 2 x − 2 z = 6 , 3 2 3

Improper Fraction Form: x + 2 y − 3 z = 15 , 2 x − 2 z = 6 , 11 3

Decimal Form: x + 2 y − 3 z = 15 , 2 x − 2 z = 6 , 3. ¯ 6

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D
