Disks of polycarbonate plastic from a supplier are analyzed for scratch and shock resistance. The results from 100 disks are sum

marized as follows:
Shock Resistance
High Low
Scratch High 70 9
Resistance Low 16 5

(a) If a disk is selected at random, what is the probability that its scratch resis-tance is high and its shock resistance is high?
(b) If a disk is selected at random, what is the probability that its scratch resis-tance is high or its shock resistance is high?
(c) Consider the event that a disk has high scratch resistance and the event thata disc has high shock resistance. Are these events mutually exclusive?

The contingency tables serve to record the frequencies with which an object appears according to the measured variables, in this case two variables, each with two scales, the scratch resistance and the shock resistance, both measured as high and low.

The information is organized in such a way that the value of each box represents the total number of objects that meet the characteristics measured for each variable, for example in this case we have 70 discs with <em>high shock resistance and high scratch resistance</em>, 9 with <em>high scratch resistance and low shock resistance</em>, 16 with <em>high shock resistance and low scratch resistance</em> and finally 5 discs with <em>low scratch and shock resistance</em>.

We complete the table like this to obtain other total values:

\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\text{Shock resistance}\\\text{Scratch resistence}\left[\begin{array}{cccc}&\text{high}&\text{low}&\text{total}\\\text{high}&70&9&79\\\text{low}&16&5&21\\\text{total}&86&14&100\end{array}\right]

With this information, and taking into account that the values ​​presented are frequencies, to obtain the probability, each one must be divided into the total number of objects and multiply by 100, for this case as 100 objects, the frequency is the same percentage or probability .

Answer

a) The probability that, when selecting a random disk, its scratch resistance is high and its shock resistance is high is 70%, since this is the value that corresponds to the intersection of both variables in the table.

b) the probability that, when selecting a random disk, its resistance to scratches is high or that its resistance to impacts is high is 95% because the probability that its resistance to scratches is high is 79 % and the probability that its impact resistance is high is 86%, as one or the other requests, this is the sum of both minus the intersection, that is 79% + 86% -70% = 95%

c) the two events described are not mutually exclusive, that is, they cannot pass through, since the table informs us that of the analyzed discs 70, these two characteristics possessed, high shock resistance and high scratch resistance

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

A meteorologist predicted that Monday's hight temperature would be 76F and on Monday, the temperature reached 80F.

The percentage error will be

Percentage error=

(Exact value-Forecasted value)/exact value x 100

= 76-80/80 × 100

= -4/80 × 100

=4/80 × 100

= 400/80

= 5%

The percentage error is 5%.

Find the area of an equilateral triangle that has perimeter of 24 m. ​
mafiozo [28]

we know the perimeter is 24, and is an equilateral triangle, so it has three equal sides, so each side is 24 ÷ 3 = 8.

\bf \textit{area of an equilateral triangle}\\\\ A=\cfrac{s^2\sqrt{3}}{4}~~ \begin{cases} s=side's\\ \qquad length\\ \cline{1-1} s = 8 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{8^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\\\\\\ A=16\sqrt{3}\implies A\approx 24.71

The cost of flying a passenger plane from point A to point B is ​$70 comma 00070,000. The airline flies this route four times pe
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

I. $291.67 per passenger

II. $583.33 per passenger

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of flying the passenger plane from A to B is $70,000.

If the Capacity of the plane is 240 people.

(I)At 7A.M and 4P.M., the average cost per passenger is given as:

Average Cost=Total Cost/Number of Passengers

=70000/240=$291.67 per passenger

(II)At 10AM and 1PM, the flight is only half full, it has 120 passengers.

Average Cost = 70000/120=$583.33 per passenger
