Aluminum usage in automobiles has been climbing steadily. As recently as 1990, there were no aluminum-structured passenger cars

in production anywhere in the world, but by 1997, there were seven of them, including the Audi A8. With weight savings of up to 47% over steel vehicles, such cars use less fuel, create less pollution, and are recyclable. Aluminum pistons are also used in automotive internal combustion engines. Aluminum pistons are manufactured through casting because of its capability to produce near-net shaped parts at the required production rates. However, with poorly designed molds, under-fills or excess porosity can cause parts to be rejected. In a process that manufactures certain aluminum pistons, the probability that a piston has an under-fill defect is 0.05, the probability that a piston has a porosity defect is 0.04, and the probability that a piston has both defects is 0.01. What is the probability that a randomly chosen piston has a defect?

Answer:

P(A U B)= 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Let:

P(A) as the probability that a psiton has an under-fill defect

P(B) as the probability that a pistón has a porosity defect

P(A ∩ B) the probability of having both defectos

Then:

P(A)=0.05

P(B)=0.04

P(A ∩ B)=0.01

2. The probability that a randomly chosen piston has a defect could be calcularse as the union of the probability of choosing a piston with am under-fill defect and one with porosity defect.

That Is P(A U B)

Aplying the probability properties we have:

P(A U B)= P(A) + P(B) -P(A ∩ B)

Replacing the probabilities:

P(A U B)= 0.05+0.04-0.01

P(A U B)= 0.08

In JKL, mJ = 90, mK = 30, and mL = 60. Which of the following statements about JKL are true?
kumpel [21]

The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:

KL = 2*JL; JK = (√3)JL; and JK = ((√3)/2)KL

Explanation:

This is a 30-60-90 right triangle.  This type of triangle has a special relationship among the sides.  Let the smallest side, across from the 30° angle, be t.  This means JL = t.

The hypotenuse of the triangle is two times the length of the smallest side; this means that KL = 2t, which means that KL = 2*JL.

The side of the triangle opposite the 60° angle will be the "medium sized" side; it is equal to √3 times the smallest side, or √3t; this gives us that JK = √3t = (√3)JL.

Comparing JK to KL, we have

\frac{t\sqrt{3}}{2t}

The t on top and bottom cancel out, leaving us with the ratio (√3)/2.  This means that JK = ((√3)/2)KL.
