A type of light bulb is labeled having an average lifetime of 1000 hours. It’s reasonable to model the probability of failure of

these bulbs by an exponential density function with mean µ = 1000. Use this model to find the probability that a bulb fails within the first 300 hours.

Answer:

0.2592 \ or \ 25.92\%

Explanation:

The exponential density function is given as

f(t)=\left \{ {{0} \atop {ce^{ct}}} \right\\0,t

\mu=\frac{1}{c}\\c=\frac{1}{\mu}\\\\=\frac{1}{1000}=0.001\\\\f(t)=0.001e^{-0.001t}

To find probability that bulb fails with the first 300hrs, we integrate from o to 300:

P(0\leq X\leq 300)=\int\limits^{300}_0 {f(t)} \, dt\\\\=\int\limits^{300}_0 {0.001e^{-001t}} \, dt\\ =|-e^{-0.001t}|  \ 0\leq t\leq 300

P(0\leq X\leq 300)=-0.7408+1\\=0.2592

Hence probability of bulb failing within 300hrs is 25.92% or 0.2592

Match each statement with the characteristic of scientists.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Options B, A, D, C

Explanation:

When a scientists, let's say Roberto wonders if the presence of other elements also affects the color of a flame, he can decide to prove this through a study. Therefore, in chemistry class, Roberto sees that traces of lithium makes a flame appear bright red. Subsequently, Roberto designs an experiment to test flame color in the presence of different elements and finally Roberto's friend tells him the color of a flame cannot be changed, but Roberto is still unsure.

A child throws a baseball upward with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. The child wants to throw the baseball at least as high as t
Umnica [9.8K]
When the ball starts its motion from the ground, its potential energy is zero, so all its mechanical energy is kinetic energy of the motion:
E= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the ball's mass and v its initial velocity, 20 m/s.

When the ball reaches its maximum height, h, its velocity is zero, so its mechanical energy is just gravitational potential energy:
E=mgh

for the law of conservation of energy, the initial mechanical energy must be equal to the final mechanical energy, so we have
\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh
From which we find the maximum height of the ball:
h= \frac{v^2}{2g}= \frac{(20 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 9.81 m/s^2}=20.4 m

Therefore, the answer is yes, the ball will reach the top of the tree.

The force of attraction between a -130.0 C and +180.0 C charge is 8.00 N. What is the separation between these two charges in me
kondaur [170]

Answer with Explanation:

The force of attraction between 2 charges of magnitudeq_1,q_2 separated by a distance 'r' is given by

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _o}\frac{q_1\times q_2}{r^2}=k\frac{q_1\times q_2}{r^2}

where

\epsilon _o is a constant known as permitivity of free space

k=9\times 10^{9}Nm^2/C^2

Applying the given values in the above relation we get

8=9\times 10^{9}\times \frac{130\times 180}{r^{2}}\\\\r^{2}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 130\times 180}{8}\\\\r^{2}=26325\times 10^{9}\\\\\therefore r=\sqrt{26325\times 10^{9}}=5.131\times 10^{6}meters

Predict what happens when glucose levels are high in the humms body
Goryan [66]

Glucose is blood sugar (hyperglycemia) comes from diabeties often, but can occur with other reasons, when glucose is to high someoenes sugar raises. Often this can lead to a diabetic coma, fatigue, vomiting, hospitalization, and even death if serious enough, from to high sugar. Many things can happen after this, and a lot are serious.

on the flip side (hypoglycemia) if sugar gets to low, confusion, fainting, vomiting, and nausea occur, as well as comas, and death if serious enought.
