A quilted block users eight parallelogram shaped pieces of clothe each with a base of 3/3/4 inches. How much fabric is needed to
1 answer:
Answer:
The answer to the question is
37.5 ft² of fabric is needed to make the parallelogram pieces for 24 blocks.
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer the question, we note that a parallelogram is a four sided polygon having two opposite parallel sides.
Therefore in this question, we select our parallelogram to be a rectangle
Number of pieces of parallelogram in a quilted block = 8
Number of parallelogram in each quadrant of the quilted block = 2
Therefore the height of the rectangle = 2 × the base = 2× = 7.5 inches
Therefore the area of each parallelogram = base × height
= =
in²
since each quilted block uses 8 parallelogram, then the amount of fabric for each quilted block is
Hence 24 blocks wil require 24×225 in² = 5400 in²
However, since 144 in² = 1 ft² we have
5400 in² = 5400 in²× 1/144 ft²/in² = 37.5 ft².

Answer:
a) There is a 83.06% probability that all orders are shipped on time.
b) There is a 15.90% probability that exactly one order is not shipped ontime.
c) The probability of at least two orders being late is 1.02% + 0.02% = 1.04%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability:
What you want to happen is the desired outcome.
Everything that can happen iis the total outcomes.
The probability is the division of the number of possible outcomes by the number of total outcomes.
In our problem, there is:
-A 6% probability that a customer's order is not shipped on time.
-A 94% probability that a customer's order is shipped on time.
We have these following orders:
O1 - O2 - O3.
(a) What is the probability that all are shipped on time?
The probabilities that each order is shipped on time are O1 = 0.94, O2 = 0.94 and O3 = 0.94. So:
= 0.8306
There is a 83.06% probability that all orders are shipped on time.
(b) What is the probability that exactly one is not shipped ontime?
The order's can be permutated. What this means? It means that we can have O1 late and O2,03 on time, O2 late and O1,O3 on time and O3 late and O1, O2 on time. We have a permutation of 3 elements(the orders) with 2 and 1 repetitions(2 on time and one late).
The probability that an order is late is:
= 0.053 for each permutation
Considering the permutations:
There is a 15.90% probability that exactly one order is not shipped ontime.
(c) What is the probability that two or more orders are not shipped on time?
P = P1 + P2, where P1 is the probability that two orders are late and P3 is the probability that all three orders are late.
P1
Considering the permutations, the probability that two orders are late is:
There is a 1.02% probability that two orders are late
P2
There is a 0.02% probability that all three orders are late.
The probability of at least two orders being late is 1.02% + 0.02% = 1.04%.
