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

A 47-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as
Aneli [31]

Answer:

<h2>                first piece:    5 in</h2><h2>           second piece:   10 in</h2><h2>               third piece:   32 in  </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

x   - the length of the <u>first piec</u>e

2x    - twice the length of the first piece (the length of the <u>second piece</u>)

6x   - six times the  length of the first piece

two inches more:

6x+2    - the length of the <u>third piec</u>e

first + second + third = 47 in  {total length of the pieces of steel}

x + 2x + 6x + 2 = 47

9x + 2 = 47

9x = 45

x = 45:9

x = 5 in

first piece:   5 in

second piece: 2×5 = 10 in

third piece:   6×5 + 2 = 30 + 2 = 32 in

FIRST ONE TO ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST Henry divided his socks into five equal groups. Let s represent the total number of socks. W
Alex777 [14]

Answer: There are 20 socks in the first case and there are 75 socks in the second case.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of equal groups = 5

Let the total number of socks be 's'.

According to question, expression will be

Now, Suppose number of socks in each group = 4

So, it will become,

Suppose number of socks in each group = 15

So, Total number of socks become

Hence, there are 20 socks in the first case and there are 75 socks in the second case.

Five less than twice what negative number squared is 157?
fenix001 [56]
Five less than twice what negative number squared is 157 <- put into an expression
-5 + 2(-x^2) = 157
Now simplify:
-5 + -2x^2 = 157
-2x^2 = 162
-2x^2 - 162 = 0
2x^2 + 162 = 0
x^2 + 81 = 0
