Answer:

5.80% probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each resume received by the corporation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are from a female, or they are not. The probability of a resume received being from a female is independent from other resumes. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

22% of all resumes received by a corporation for a management position are from females.

This means that p = 0.22

18 resumes will be received tomorrow.

This means that n = 18

What is the probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females?

This is P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{18,1}.(0.22)^{1}.(0.78)^{17} = 0.0580

5.80% probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females.

A flow meter is attached in a hydraulic line that measures 18 gal/min. The line has an inside diameter of 1.0 in. What is the fl
snow_tiger [21]

The flow velocity measured as in/min at the meter is 5924.13 in/min

<h3 /><h3>Volumetric flow rate</h3>

We know that the volume flow rate Q = Av where

  • A = cross-sectional area of pipe and
  • v = flow velocity

Now, Q = 18 gal/min

Converting this to in³/min, we have

Q = 18 gal/min = 18 × 1 gal/min = 18 × 231 in³/min = 4158 in³/min

A = πd²/4 where d = diameter of pipe = 1.0 in.

<h3 /><h3>Flow velocity, v</h3>

Since Q = Av, making v subject of the formula, we have

v = Q/A

v = 4Q/πd²

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

v = 4Q/πd²

v = 4 × 4158 in³/min ÷ π × (1.0 in)²

v = 16632 in/min ÷ π

v = 5924.13 in/min

So, the flow velocity measured as in/min at the meter is 5924.13 in/min

What is the length of BC in the right triangle below?
gayaneshka [121]

Hey there! :)

Answer:

C. BC = 39 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for BC. Let BC = c, AB = a, and AC = b.

c² = a² + b²

c² = 15² + 36²

Square and simplify:

c² = 225 + 1296

c² = 1521

c = √1521

c = 39 units.

Therefore:

BC = 39 units.
