Answer:

a. - 45 feet

b. - 18 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we consider the water level as the reference level then the elevation of the fish is - 27 feet, i.e. the fish is 27 feet below the water level.

a. Now, the fish decreases its elevation by 32 feet and then increases its elevation by 14 feet.

Therefore, the new elevation of the fish is (- 27 - 32 + 14) = - 45 feet.

b. Now, if my elevation is \frac{2}{5} of the new elevation of the fish then my elevation will be = - 45 \times \frac{2}{5} = - 18 feet. (Answer)

The manufacturer of an electronic device claims that the probability of the device failing during the warranty period is 0.005.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The  value is  P(X \ge  15) =  0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The probability of the device failing during the warranty period is p =  0.005

    The  sample size is  n = 3000

     The random variable  considered is  x  =  15

Generally this is distribution is binomial given the fact that there is only two out comes hence

      X  which is a variable representing a randomly selected selected electronic follows a binomial distribution i.e

     X  \~ \  B(n , p)

Now the mean is mathematically evaluated as

      \mu  =  n *  p

=>   \mu  = 3000 *  0.005

=>    \mu  =15

The standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      \sigma  =  \sqrt{np(1 -p )}

=>  \sigma  =  \sqrt{3000 *  0.005 * (1 - 0.005 )}

=>   \sigma  =  3.86

Now given that n is very large, then it mean that we can successfully apply normal approximation on this  binomial distribution

So

    P(X \ge  15) =  P( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }  \ge \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma } )

Now  applying  Continuity Correction we have

   P(X \ge  (15-0.5)) =  P( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }  > \frac{(15 -0.5) - 15}{3.86 } )

Generally  \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }   =  Z (The \ standardized \ value  \ of  \ X)

    P(X \ge  (15-0.5)) =  P(Z >-0.130 )

From the z-table  

       P(Z >-0.130 )  =0.5

Thus  

    P(X \ge  15) =  0.5

Ray BD bisects 2ABC. Use the diagram and the given angle measure to
Alenkinab [10]
Assuming you mean angle ABC and not 2ABC?
Since ray BD bisects angle ABC we can set the two angle measures given equal to each other.
2x+7=4x-41
Solve for x=24
Plug in the x to find angle ABD 2(24)+7=55
therefore angle ABD is 55 and angle DBC is 55 so angle ABC is 110

Expressed<br> as a<br> decimal, 3% is<br> A<br> 0.03<br> B<br> 0.3<br> 3.0<br> D<br> 30.0
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

3% as a fraction is 3/100. as a decimal it is 0.03. notice when you read the decimal aloud, it is three one-hundredths, which is also the same read aloud in a fraction.

Find an equation for the line that passes through the points (-5,-3) and (1,-1)
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

y = 1/3x - 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

slope is change in y over the change in x

-1 +3/ 1+5= 2/6= 1/3

y+1 = 1/3(x-1)

y + 1 = 1/3x - 1/3

y = 1/3x - 4/3
