Answer:

Answer is

a. P (both pumps not available) = 0.016

b. P (both pumps available) = 0.984

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Probability of neither pump is available.

We know that P1 + P2 = 1

P1 = Probability of one pump is available = 0.96

P2 = Probability of a pump not available = 1-0.96 = 0.04

Now the probability of both pump not available will be = P2 x P2

=0.04 x 0.04 = 0.016

b. Probability of both pumps available will be.

Using the equation of probability

P (both pumps available) + P (both pumps unavailable) = 1

P (both pumps available) = (1- P (both pumps unavailable))

P (both pumps available) = 1-0.016

P (both pumps available) = 0.984

ad-work [718]

Answer:

no enough evidence to draw up a conclusion

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

let: \mu _{1} = decay after 2 weeks

    \mu _{2} = decay after 16 weeks

Making the hypotheses:

Null hypothesis; H_{o} = \mu _{1}  - \mu _{2} = 0

the deviation = 0.05

the standard difference  = 4

Conditions:

The normal distribution curve can be plotted on a graph and the plot shows that the distribution is a skewed distribution.

Then,

t = \frac{(123.8-16.4)-0}{\sqrt{\frac{4.6^{2} }{5}+\frac{16.09^{2} }{5}   } } \\  = 0.989

Therefore, it can be concluded that 0.1983 > 0.05. This presents our failure to reject the null hypothesis.

Thus, there is not enough evidence to conclude that polyester decays more in less than 2 weeks.

What is the value of x:
notsponge [240]

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is always larger than either of the legs by a factor of \sqrt{2}. x is therefore:

100\sqrt{2}\div \sqrt{2}=100

Hope this helps!
