Answer:

Length of cheaper side = x = 29.21 ft

Length of expensive side = y = 24.31 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Length of cheaper side = x

Length of expensive side = y

Total Cost = 5(x + x) + 6(y+y) =

Total Cost = 5(2x) + 6(2y)

Total Cost  = 10x + 12y

we also know that

xy = 710ft square

so

y = 710 ft sq. / x

Putting this in total cost equation

Total Cost  = 10x + 12( 710 ft sq. / x )

f(x)  = 10x + ( 8,520 ft sq. / x )                 ( cost = f(x)

f'(x)  = 10 - ( 8,520 ft / x^2 )                 (x>0)

0 + ( 8,520 ft / x^2 ) = 10

8,520 ft / x^2 = 10

x^2 = 8,520 ft / 10

(x^2)^1/2 = (8,520 ft / 10)^1/2

x = 92.3 / 3.16

x = 29.21 ft

As given

xy = 710ft square

Putting value of x in above equation

29.21 y = 710

y = 710/29.21

y = 24.31 ft

The manufacturer of an electronic device claims that the probability of the device failing during the warranty period is 0.005.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The  value is  P(X \ge  15) =  0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The probability of the device failing during the warranty period is p =  0.005

    The  sample size is  n = 3000

     The random variable  considered is  x  =  15

Generally this is distribution is binomial given the fact that there is only two out comes hence

      X  which is a variable representing a randomly selected selected electronic follows a binomial distribution i.e

     X  \~ \  B(n , p)

Now the mean is mathematically evaluated as

      \mu  =  n *  p

=>   \mu  = 3000 *  0.005

=>    \mu  =15

The standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      \sigma  =  \sqrt{np(1 -p )}

=>  \sigma  =  \sqrt{3000 *  0.005 * (1 - 0.005 )}

=>   \sigma  =  3.86

Now given that n is very large, then it mean that we can successfully apply normal approximation on this  binomial distribution

So

    P(X \ge  15) =  P( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }  \ge \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma } )

Now  applying  Continuity Correction we have

   P(X \ge  (15-0.5)) =  P( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }  > \frac{(15 -0.5) - 15}{3.86 } )

Generally  \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }   =  Z (The \ standardized \ value  \ of  \ X)

    P(X \ge  (15-0.5)) =  P(Z >-0.130 )

From the z-table  

       P(Z >-0.130 )  =0.5

Thus  

    P(X \ge  15) =  0.5
