Answer:

D) quantity of components required for this type of system

Explanation:

Electricity can be transmitted using the alternating and direct currents. The alternating current is one in which the flow of the current diverts at certain time intervals whereas, the direct current is one in which there is a constant one-directional flow of current. The DC is used in batteries and solar panels. Residential areas and business places make use of the AC current.

One of the several reasons why the DC is not used in homes is because unlike the AC it is not easy to build and sustain. Moreso, it has more components compared to the AC. For example, its motor consists of brushes and commutators . The components, example, switches are also large compared to the AC components.

A large class with 1,000 students took a quiz consisting of ten questions. To get an A, students needed to get 9 or 10 questions
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

a. 0.11

b. 110 students

c. 50 students

d. 0.46

e. 460 students

f. 540 students

g. 0.96

Explanation:

(See attachment below)

a. Probability that a student got an A

To get an A, the student needs to get 9 or 10 questions right.

That means we want P(X≥9);

P(X>9) = P(9)+P(10)

= 0.06+0.05=0.11

b. How many students got an A on the quiz

Total students = 1000

Probability of getting A = 0.11 ---- Calculated from (a)

Number of students = 0.11 * 1000

Number of students = 110 students

So,the number of students that got A is 110

c. How many students did not miss a single question

For a student not to miss a single question, then that student scores a total of 10 out of possible 10

P(10) = 0.05

Total Students = 1000

Number of Students = 0.05 * 1000

Number of Students = 50 students

We see that 5

d. Probability that a student pass the quiz

To pass, a student needed to get at least 6 questions right.

So we want P(X>=6);

P(X>=) =P(6)+P(7)+P(8)+P(9)+P(10)

=0.08+0.12+0.15+0.06+0.05=0.46

So, the probability of a student passing the quiz is 0.46

e. Number of students that pass the quiz

Total students = 1000

Probability of passing the quiz = 0.46 ----- Calculated from (d)

Number of students = 0.46 * 1000

Number of students = 460 students

So,the number of students that passed the test is 460

f. Number of students that failed the quiz

Total students = 1000

Total students that passed = 460 ----- Calculated from (e)

Number of students that failed = 1000 - 460

Number of students that failed = 540

So,the number of students that failed is 540

g. Probability that a student got at least one question right

This means that we want to solve for P(X>=1)

Using the complement rule,

P(X>=1) = 1 - P(X<1)

P(X>=1) = 1 - P(X=0)

P(X>=1) = 1 - 0.04

P(X>=1) = 0.96

The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and at the bottom of
bixtya [17]

Answer:

h = 287.1 m

Explanation:

the density of mercury \rho =13570 kg/m3

the atmospheric pressure at the top of the building is

p_t = \rho gh  = 13570*908*0.73 = 97.08 kPa

the atmospheric pressure at bottom

p_b = \rho gh  = 13570*908*0.75 = 100.4 kPa

\frac{w_{air}}{A} =p_b -p_t

we have also

(\rho gh)_{air} = p_b - p_t

1.18*9.81*h = (100.4 -97.08)*10^3

h = 287.1 m

erastova [34]

Answer:

13.6mm

Explanation:

We consider diameter to be a chord that runs through the center point of the circle. It is considered as the longest possible chord of any circle. The center of a circle is the midpoint of its diameter. That is, it divides it into two equal parts, each of which is a radius of the circle. The radius is half the diameter.
