The probability is 1% that an electrical connector that is kept dry fails during the warranty period of a portable computer. If

the connector is ever wet, the probability of a failure during the warranty period is 4%. If 90% of the connectors are kept dry and 10% are wet, what proportion of connectors fail during the warranty period? Round your answer to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765).

Answer:

1.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A and B be the events

A = The connector fails during the warranty period given that it was kept dry

B = The connector fails during the warranty period given that it was ever wet

We are asked to find P(A or B) = P(A∪B)

But A and B are disjoints sets ( P(A∩B)=∅ ), so

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B).

On the other hand,  

P(A) = 1% of 90% = 0.01*0.9 = 0.009

P(B) = 4% of 10% = 0.04*0.1 = 0.004

and  

P(A) + P(B) = 0.009 + 0.004 = 0.013 = 1.3%

So, the proportion of connectors that might fail during the warranty period is 1.3%

If MH = 18cm and HA = 29cm, what is MA?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

<h2>The leg MA measures 22.7 centimeters.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that's about a right triangle, the image attached shows a representation of this problem.

We use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing leg, which we are gonna call y

29^{2} =18^{2}+y^{2}\\y^{2}=29^{2}-18^{2}\\y=\sqrt{841 - 324}  \approx 22.7 \ cm

Therefore, the leg MA measures 22.7 centimeters.

In the 1980s an average mortgage rate was around 18.5 how much less per month would a 150000 30 year mortgage by today if the cu
lianna [129]

Answer:

  $1516.69 per month less

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the monthly payment A on a loan of principal P, annual rate r, for t years is ...

  A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^(-12t))

For the 18.5% loan, the monthly payment is ...

  A = 150000(.185/12)/(1 -(1 +.185/12)^(-12·30)) ≈ 2321.92

For the 5% loan, the monthly payment is ...

  A = 150000(.05/12)/(1 -(1 +.05/12)^-360) ≈ 805.23

The mortgage at 5% would be $1516.69 less per month.
