a rectangular piece of metal is 10 in. longer than it is wide. squares with sides 2 in. long are cut from the four corners and t

he flaps are folded upward to form an open box. if the volume of the box is 832 in. cubed, what were the original dimensions of the piece of metal

Volume of the box = length  * width * height

length of original peice = x + 10 , width = x

length of box  (x + 10) - 4  = x + 6
width of box = x - 4
height of box =  2

so we have 

2 * (x -4) * ( x + 6) = 832

2x^2 + 4x - 48 = 832

2x^2 + 4x - 880 = 0
x^2  + 2x - 440 = 0

(x + 22)(x - 20) = 0

x = 20

so width of original piece of metal = 20 ins , length = 30 inches.

Suppose that 80% of all trucks undergoing a brake inspection at a certain inspection facility pass the inspection. Consider grou
Gwar [14]

Answer:

P=0.147

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know 80% of the trucks have good brakes. That means that probability the 1 randomly selected truck has good brakes is P(good brakes)=0.8 . So the probability that 1 randomly selected truck has bad brakes Q(bad brakes)=1-0.8-0.2

We have to find the probability, that at least 9 trucks from 16 have good brakes, however fewer than 12 trucks from 16 have good brakes. That actually means the the number of trucks with good brakes has to be 9, 10 or 11 trucks from 16.

We have to find the probability of each event (9, 10 or 11 trucks from 16 will pass the inspection) .  To find the required probability 3 mentioned probabilitie have to be summarized.

So P(9/16 )=  C16 9 * P(good brakes)^9*Q(bad brakes)^7

P(9/16 )= 16!/9!/7!*0.8^9*0.2^7= 11*13*5*16*0.8^9*0.2^7=approx 0.02

P(10/16)=16!/10!/6!*0.8^10*0.2^6=11*13*7*0.8^10*0.2^6=approx 0.007

P(11/16)=16!/11!/5!*0.8^11*0.2^5=13*21*16*0.8^11*0.2^5=approx 0.12

P(9≤x<12)=P(9/16)+P(10/16)+P(11/16)=0.02+0.007+0.12=0.147

No is divisible by 7 if n is divided by 2 3 4 5 the remainder is 1 what is the smallest value that n could b
kvv77 [185]

Answer: 301

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, The LCM of numbers given numbers 2 ,3,  4 and 5 is 60.

Thus, the number that gives 1 as reminder and is the multiple of 7 is  60 n + 1

Where n is any positive integer,

Since, For n = 5,

The number is, 60\times 5 + 1 = 300 + 1 = 301

Which is divisible by 7.

Thus, the required number is 301.

Note : For n = 1, 2 3 and 4, numbers are 61, 121, 181 and 241

But they are not the multiple of 7.
