There are 5 x 10 = 50 different outcomes.

Of them only 3x10, 4x10, 4x9, 4x8, 5x10, 5x9, 5x8, 5x7 and 5x6 are greater or equal than 30. Those are 9 possibilities.

Then 50 - 9 = 41 are the possibilities that the product of the two numbers is less than 30.

The probalility, then, is 41/50 = 0.82

A boiler has five identical relief valves. The probability that any particular valve will open on demand is 0.93. Assume indepen

noname [10]

Answer:

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each valve there are only two possible outcomes. Either it opens on demand, or it does not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

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 combinatios 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.

In this problem we have that:

$n = 5, p = 0.93$

Calculate P(at least one valve opens).

This is $P(X \geq 1)$

Either no valves open, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

So

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.93)^{0}.(0.07)^{5} = 0.0000016807$

Finally

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0000016807 = 0.9999983193$

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.

Porphyrin is a pigment in blood protoplasm and other body fluids that is significant in body energy and storage. Let x be a rand

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Question 1:

(a) P(x<60) = 0.9236

(b) P(x>16) = 0.9564

(c) P(16<x<60) = 0.88

(d) P (x>60) = 0.0764

Question 2:

(a) P(x<3) = 0.0668

(b) P(x>7) = 0.0062

(c) P(3<x<7) = 0.927

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

x = no. of mg of porphyrin per deciliter of blood.

μ = 40

σ = 14

(a) We need to compute P(x<60). We need to find the z-score using the normal distribution formula:

z = (x - μ)/σ

P(x<60) = P((x - μ)/σ < (60 - 40)/14)

= P(z < 20/14)

= P(z<1.43)

Using the normal distribution probability table we can find the value of p at z=1.43.

P(z<1.43) = 0.9236

so, P(x<60) = 0.9236

(b) P(x>16) = P(z>(16-40)/14)

= P(z>-1.71)

= 1 - P(z<-1.71)

= 1 - 0.0436

P(x>16) = 0.9564

(c) P(16<x<60) = P((16-40)/14) < x < (60-40)/14)

= P(-1.71 < z < 1.43)

This probability can be calculated as: P(z<1.43) - P(z<-1.71)

P(16<x<60) = 0.9236 - 0.0436

P(16<x<60) = 0.88

(d) P(x>60) = 1 - P(x<60)

we have calculated P(x<60) in part (a) so,

P(x>60) = 1 - 0.9236

P (x>60) = 0.0764

Question 2:

μ = 4.5 mm

σ = 1.0 mm

In this question, we will again compute the z-scores and then find the probability from the normal distribution table.

(a) P(x<3) = P(z<(3-4.5)/1)

= P(z<-1.5)

P(x<3) = 0.0668

(b) P(x>7) = 1 - P(x<7)

= 1 - P(z<(7-4.5)/1)

= 1 - P(z<2.5)

= 1 - 0.9938

P(x>7) = 0.0062

(c) P(3<x<7) = P(x<7) - P(x<3)

we have computed both of these probabilities in parts (a) and (b) so,

P(3<x<7) = 0.9938 - 0.0668

P(3<x<7) = 0.927

GI and JL are parallel lines. Which angles are supplementary angles?

solmaris [256]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

A supplementary angles are angles that when adding both sides will sum up to 180 Degrees.

<JKH and <LKH will be the correct answer because they add up tp 180 degrees.
