1/2 of a mile is divided equally into 3 parts- we need to find the distance between the second and third sign.

1/2 x 1/3 is 1/6.

This means that each sign is 1/6th of a mile apart.

If you have further confusions about the question, please feel free to message me and I will help to the best of my ability!

Hope this Helps!

15. Suppose a box of 30 light bulbs contains 4 defective ones. If 5 bulbs are to be removed out of the box.
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

1) Probability that all five are good = 0.46

2) P(at most 2 defective) = 0.99

3) Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.54

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of bulbs = 30

Number of defective bulbs = 4

Number of good bulbs = 30 - 4 = 26

Number of ways of selecting 5 bulbs from 30 bulbs = 30C5 = \frac{30 !}{(30-5)!5!} \\

30C5 = 142506 ways

Number of ways of selecting 5 good bulbs  from 26 bulbs = 26C5 = \frac{26 !}{(26-5)!5!} \\

26C5 = 65780 ways

Probability that all five are good = 65780/142506

Probability that all five are good = 0.46

2) probability that at most two bulbs are defective = Pr(no defective) + Pr(1 defective) + Pr(2 defective)

Pr(no defective) has been calculated above = 0.46

Pr(1 defective) = \frac{26C4  * 4C1}{30C5}

Pr(1 defective) = (14950*4)/142506

Pr(1 defective) =0.42

Pr(2 defective) =  \frac{26C3  * 4C2}{30C5}

Pr(2 defective) = (2600 *6)/142506

Pr(2 defective) = 0.11

P(at most 2 defective) = 0.46 + 0.42 + 0.11

P(at most 2 defective) = 0.99

3) Probability that at least one bulb is defective = Pr(1 defective) +  Pr(2 defective) +  Pr(3 defective) +  Pr(4 defective)

Pr(1 defective) =0.42

Pr(2 defective) = 0.11

Pr(3 defective) =  \frac{26C2  * 4C3}{30C5}

Pr(3 defective) = 0.009

Pr(4 defective) =  \frac{26C1  * 4C4}{30C5}

Pr(4 defective) = 0.00018

Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.42 + 0.11 + 0.009 + 0.00018

Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.54

A telephone pole has a wire to its top that is anchored to the ground. The distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor po
Bumek [7]

Answer:

The height of the pole is 105ft,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call h the height of the pole, then we know that the distance from the bottom of the pole to the anchor point is 49, or it is h - 49.

The wire length d is 14 ft longer than height h, hence

d= h+14.

Thus we get a right triangle with hypotenuse d= y+14, perpendicular  h, and base h-49; therefore, the Pythagorean theorem gives

(h-49)^2+h^2 = (h+14)^2

which upon expanding we get:

h^2-98h+2401 = h^2+28h+196

further simplification gives

h^2-126h+2205=0,

which is a quadratic equation with solutions

h =21ft\\h = 105ft.

Since the first solution h =21ft will give the triangle base length of 21ft-49ft = -28ft which is negative; therefore, we disregard it and pick the solution h = 105ft.

Hence, the height of the pole is 105ft.
