Length = l

Width = w

Perimeter = p = 100

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+w)

100 = 2 (4w + w)

100 = 2(5w)

100 = 10w

100/10 = w

10 = w

w = 10

Area of rectangle = length * width

a = l*w

a = 4w*w

a = 4w^2............(1)

Put the value of w in (1)

a = 4(10)^2

a= 4(100)

a = 400 yd^2

A certain kind of sheet metal has, on average, 3 defects per 18 square feet. Assuming a Poisson distribution, find the probabili

Fofino [41]

Answer:

75.8% probability that a 31 square foot metal sheet has at least 4 defects.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

In this problem, we have that:

3 defects per 18 square feet.

So for 31 square feet, we have to solve a rule of three

3 defects - 18 square feet

x defects - 31 square feet

$18x = 3*31$

$x = \frac{31*3}{18}$

$x = 5.17$

So $\mu = 5.17$

Assuming a Poisson distribution, find the probability that a 31 square foot metal sheet has at least 4 defects.

Either it has three or less defects, or it has at least 4 defects. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1.

$P(X \leq 3) + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 4)$

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 3)$

In which

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-5.17}*(5.17)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0057$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-5.17}*(5.17)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0294$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-5.17}*(5.17)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0760$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-5.17}*(5.17)^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.1309$

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0057 + 0.0294 + 0.0760 + 0.1309 = 0.242$

Finally

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 3) = 1 - 0.242 = 0.758$

75.8% probability that a 31 square foot metal sheet has at least 4 defects.

The graph below represents c, the amount a phone company charges, based on m, the number of minutes the customer uses each month

Lelechka [254]

The y-intercept of the graph shows that at m = 0, c = 15. We can see a constant slope that causes the graph to pass through m = 20, c = 20, as well as m = 40, c = 25. This shows a constant increase of $5/20 minutes, or a slope of 5/20 = 1/4. Based on slope-intercept form y = mx+b, the equation would be c = (1/4)m+15, from 0 <= m <= 44,640. This is the second of the given choices.

A line passes through the point (10,-1) and has a slope of -1/2

dezoksy [38]

Hi there!

I'm guessing you want to know what the equation of the slope-intercept line is.

The general equation for the slope-intercept line looks like this:

y = mx + b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

Since we know what the slope is and we have the coordinates of a point, you can replace the slope and the value of the coordinates "x" & "y" in the equation and solve for "b" in order to find the whole equation :

y = mx + b

-1 = -1/2(10) + b

subtract "b" from each side of the equation

-1 - b = -1/2(10)

Add 1 to each side of the equation

-b = -1/2(10) + 1

-b = -5 + 1

-b = -4

Divide each side of the equation by -1

b = 4

Since you now know the value of "b" you can go ahead and write the slope-intercept equation with the slope in it and the y-intercept value also (b) :

y = -1/2 + 4

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
