Answer:

1. Horizontal component = -3 units

  Vertical component = -4 units

2. Horizontal component = 3 units

  Vertical component = 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If a vector M, starting at point A = (a, b) and ending at point B = (c, d) is given, then the vector can be resolved into x and y components as follows;

M = AB

Where;

AB = B - A

AB = (a, b) - (c, d)

AB = (a-c, b-d)

AB = (a-c)i + (b-d)k

<em>Therefore, </em><em>a-c </em><em>and </em><em>b-d</em><em> are the x and y components of the vector M.</em>

<em />

(1) Let the vector be M:

Starting point of M = Q = (4, 6)

Ending point of M = P = (1, 2)

So,

M = PQ

Where;

PQ = Q - P

PQ = (1,2) - (4,6)

PQ = (1-4, 2-6)  

PQ = (-3, -4)

Therefore,

M = PQ = -3i - 4j

The x and y components of M are therefore, -3 and -4 respectively.

(2) Let the vector be M:

Starting point of M = P = (1, 2)

Ending point of M = Q = (4, 6)

So,

M = PQ

Where;

PQ = Q - P

PQ = (4,6) - (1,2)

PQ = (4-1, 6-2)  

PQ = (3, 4)

Therefore,

M = PQ = 3i + 4j

The x and y components of M are therefore, 3 and 4 respectively.

<em>Note: The x and y components are also called the horizontal and vertical components respectively.</em>

The comprehensive strength of concrete is normally distributed with μ = 2500 psi and σ = 50 psi. Find the probability that a ran
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The probability that the diameter falls in the interval from 2499 psi to 2510 psi is 0.00798.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the random variable, X = "Comprehensive strength of concrete". We have information that X is normally distributed with a mean of 2500 psi and a standard deviation of  50 psi (or a variance of 2500 psi). In other words, X \sim N(2500, 2500).

We want to know the probability of the mean of X or \bar{X} that falls in the interval [2499;2510]. From inference theory we know that :

\bar{X} \sim N(2500, \frac{2500}{5}) \Rightarrow \bar{X} \sim N(2500,500)

Now we can find the probability as follows:

P(2499 \leq \bar{X} \leq 2510) \Rightarrow P(\frac{2499 - 2500}{500} \leq \frac{\bar{X} - 2500}{500} \leq \frac{2499 - 2500}{500} ) \Rightarrow\\\Rightarrow P(-0.002 \leq \frac{\bar{X} - 2500}{500} \leq 0.02 ) \Rightarrow P(-0.002 \leq Z \leq 0.02 )

Where Z \sim N(0,1), then:

P(-0.002 \leq Z \leq 0.02 ) \approx P(0 \leq Z \leq 0.02 ) = P(Z \leq 0.02 ) - P(Z \leq 0) \\P(0 \leq Z \leq 0.02 ) = 0.50798 - 0.5 = 0.00798

9966 [12]

Answer:

Think of the total as 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5 = 3/5

You have THREE fifths of material.

You use ONE of those fifths.

That leaves you with TWO fifths.
