An article in Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, "Arthroscopic meniscal repair with an absorbable screw: results an

d surgical technique," (2005, Vol. 13, pp. 273-279) cites a success rate more than 90% for meniscal tears with a rim width of less than 3 mm, but only a 67% success rate for tears of 3-6 mm. If you are unlucky enough to suffer a meniscal tear of less than 3 mm on your left knee, and one of width 3-6 mm on your right knee, what are the mean and variance of the number of successful surgeries?

Answer:

Mean = 1.57

Variance=0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the mean and the variance of the number of successful surgeries (X), we first have to enumerate the possible outcomes:

1) Both surgeries are successful (X=2).

P(e_1)=0.90*0.67=0.603

2) Left knee unsuccessful and right knee successful (X=1).

P(e_2)=(1-0.9)*0.67=0.1*0.67=0.067

3) Right knee unsuccessful and left knee successful (X=1).

P(e_3)=0.90*(1-0.67)=0.9*0.33=0.297

4) Both surgeries are unsuccessful (X=0).

P(e_4)=(1-0.90)*(1-0.67)=0.1*0.33=0.033

Then, the mean can be calculated as the expected value:

M=\sum p_iX_i=0.603*2+0.067*1+0.297*1+0.033*0\\\\M=1.206+0.067+0.297+0\\\\M=1.57

The variance can be calculated as:

V=\sum p_i(X_i-\bar{X})^2\\\\V=0.603(2-1.57)^2+(0.067+0.297)*(1-1.57)^2+0.033*(0-1.57)^2\\\\V=0.603*0.1849+0.364*0.3249+0.033*2.4649\\\\V=0.1115+0.1183+0.0813\\\\V=0.3111

Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation.
Vlada [557]

Answer:

a = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for a:

2 (a + 5) - 1 = 3

Hint: | Distribute 2 over a + 5.

2 (a + 5) = 2 a + 10:

(2 a + 10) - 1 = 3

Hint: | Group like terms in 2 a - 1 + 10.

Grouping like terms, 2 a - 1 + 10 = 2 a + (10 - 1):

(2 a + (10 - 1)) = 3

Hint: | Evaluate 10 - 1.

10 - 1 = 9:

2 a + 9 = 3

Hint: | Isolate terms with a to the left hand side.

Subtract 9 from both sides:

2 a + (9 - 9) = 3 - 9

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

9 - 9 = 0:

2 a = 3 - 9

Hint: | Evaluate 3 - 9.

3 - 9 = -6:

2 a = -6

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 2 a = -6 by 2:

(2 a)/2 = (-6)/2

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

2/2 = 1:

a = (-6)/2

Hint: | Reduce (-6)/2 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -6 and 2.

The gcd of -6 and 2 is 2, so (-6)/2 = (2 (-3))/(2×1) = 2/2×-3 = -3:

Answer:  a = -3

Please help please thanks

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every force, there is an equal and opposite reaction. For example, if you collide two objects together, all of the forces in the system would cancel out because energy conserved with the opposite and equal reactions.

Between two examples (2 identical billiard balls and 2 different toy cars), the easiest way to demonstrate Newton's third law is using the 2 balls, since they are identical in shape and mass. When pushing the two balls in the exact same way with the SAME force, the net force of the equation is basically 0;

F_f = F_1 + F_2 = ma - ma = 0

Therefore, A is correct.

If you pushed a toy car and a toy truck towards each other using the same force, the outcome would not be completely opposite since F = ma and masses are different. Instead, to have a completely opposite and equal reaction, the resulting direction and forces are different. The lighter car would accelerate more in the opposite direction to compensate for the lighter mass. Therefore, B is wrong because even though they are different sizes, newton's third law still happens in the resulting direction and forces, but are simply harder to explain due to so many differing factors.

C is wrong, because diameter of two objects has no correlation to the net force equations. Even if two objects have the same diameter, they could have different masses, shapes, elasticity, etc.

D is wrong, because it goes against Newton's 3rd law. Newton's 3rd law is a LAW. Meaning, it is ALWAYS true (unless in some distant future it's disproven). In any and every collision, energy is conserved in some way that net forces equal 0; either in friction, gravitational force, or resulting force, the net force is always 0.
