A 150-lbm astronaut took his bathroom scale a spring scale and a beam scale (compares masses) to the oon where the local gravity
1 answer:
Answer:
a) 25.54 lb
b) No change
Explanation:
m = Mass of astronaut = 150 lbm
Weight of astronaut on earth = Mass × acceleration due to gravity on earth
= 150×32.18
= 4827 lbf
Weight of astronaut on moon = Mass × acceleration due to gravity on moon
= 150×5.48
= 822 lbf
a) On earth the mass in the spring scale shows 150 lbm because it is calibrated according to the acceleration due to gravity on earth. So, the weight of the astronaut shown on moon will be
Weight of astronaut on moon/acceleration due to gravity on earth
= 25.54 lb
b) Beam scale shows weight by comparing masses so there will be no change displayed on the beam scale.

Answer:
a. 0.11
b. 110 students
c. 50 students
d. 0.46
e. 460 students
f. 540 students
g. 0.96
Explanation:
(See attachment below)
a. Probability that a student got an A
To get an A, the student needs to get 9 or 10 questions right.
That means we want P(X≥9);
P(X>9) = P(9)+P(10)
= 0.06+0.05=0.11
b. How many students got an A on the quiz
Total students = 1000
Probability of getting A = 0.11 ---- Calculated from (a)
Number of students = 0.11 * 1000
Number of students = 110 students
So,the number of students that got A is 110
c. How many students did not miss a single question
For a student not to miss a single question, then that student scores a total of 10 out of possible 10
P(10) = 0.05
Total Students = 1000
Number of Students = 0.05 * 1000
Number of Students = 50 students
We see that 5
d. Probability that a student pass the quiz
To pass, a student needed to get at least 6 questions right.
So we want P(X>=6);
P(X>=) =P(6)+P(7)+P(8)+P(9)+P(10)
=0.08+0.12+0.15+0.06+0.05=0.46
So, the probability of a student passing the quiz is 0.46
e. Number of students that pass the quiz
Total students = 1000
Probability of passing the quiz = 0.46 ----- Calculated from (d)
Number of students = 0.46 * 1000
Number of students = 460 students
So,the number of students that passed the test is 460
f. Number of students that failed the quiz
Total students = 1000
Total students that passed = 460 ----- Calculated from (e)
Number of students that failed = 1000 - 460
Number of students that failed = 540
So,the number of students that failed is 540
g. Probability that a student got at least one question right
This means that we want to solve for P(X>=1)
Using the complement rule,
P(X>=1) = 1 - P(X<1)
P(X>=1) = 1 - P(X=0)
P(X>=1) = 1 - 0.04
P(X>=1) = 0.96
