Computer keyboard failures are due to faulty electrical connects (12%) or mechanical defects (88%). Mechanical defects are relat

ed to loose keys (27%) or improper assembly (73%). Electrical connect defects are caused by defective wires (35%), improper connections (13%), or poorly welded wires (52%). a) Find the probability that a failure is due to loose keys. b) Find the probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires.

Answer:

Probability that a failure is due to loose keys = 0.2376

Probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires  0.078

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

P(A) = percentage of faulty electrical connections is 12% = 0.12

P(B) = mechanical defects is 88% =  0.88

P(C / B ) = percentage of defects that are related to loose keys is 27% =  0.27

P( D/B ) = improper assembly is 73% = 0.73

P(E/A) =  defective wires  is 35% =  0.35

P( F/A)= improper connections is 13% =  0.13

P( G/A ) = percentage of poorly welded wire is 52% = 0.52

a) Probability of being failure because of loose keys = 0.27\times 0.88 = 0.2376

b) Improperly connected = 0.13\times 0.12 = 0.0156

    poorly welded wires= 0.52 \times 0.12 = 0.0624

Probability of being failure because of improperly connected or poorly welded wires = 0.0156 + 0.0624 = 0.078

Answer:

a) 23.76%

b) 7.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) probability that a failure is due to loose keys.

loose key failure (27%) comes under mechanical failure(88%)

hence, probability that a failure is due to loose keys= 0.27×0.88= 0.2376= 23.76%

b)  probability that a failure is due to improperly connected wire which comes under electrical failure = 0.12×0.13

probability that a failure is due to poorly welded wires which comes under electrical failure= 0.52×0.12

now, the probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires. = 0.12(0.52+0.13)= 0.078= 7.8%

Sallly has 3 marbles. Every
Anton [14]
If Sally already has 3 marbles and she finds 5 everyday. That means you add 5 until you get to 58. So in this case 5 times 11 is 55 + 3 is 58. Answer: It will take 11 days at this rate for her to have 58 marbles.

122. Write the equation of the line that is
Marina CMI [18]

When a line is given in the form

y=mx+q

The slope of the line is m. So, in this case, the slope of y=x-5 is 1.

Given a slope m, you find the slope of a perpendicular line m' by imposing

m\cdot m' = -1

So, if the given line has slope 1, a perpendicular line has slope m' given by

1 \cdot m' = -1

and thus m'=-1

So, we want a line with slope -1 and passing through (12,-1). Using the fomula

y-y_0=m(x-x_0)

we get

y-(-1)=-1(x-12) \iff y+1=-x+12 \iff y=-x+11

Without solving the equation, determine the nature of the roots of x2 - 2 x - 8 = 0.
ad-work [718]
Evaluate using the discriminant (the part of the quadratic equation under the square root sign) b²-4ac
In your equation, a=1, b=(-2), and c=(-8)...substitute their values into the discriminant:
(-2)²-4(1)(-8)
4+32 = 36

The value is positive, therefore the equation has two real roots.
It's a perfect square (√36=6) so the roots are rational
Answer: two real, rational roots

(If the result was a negative number, the system would have two irrational roots. If the result was zero, the system would have a <em>double root </em>(one value repeated twice - when graphed, the vertex of the parabola falls on the x-axis)∨<em />

6. Solve the problem. A carousel has a radius of 18 feet and takes 31
Darya [45]

Answer:

v = 3.64 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Radius of a carousel, r = 18 feet

It takes 31 seconds to complete revolution.

We need to find the linear speed of the carousel at its outside edge. Distance covered is equal to the circumference of the circle.

d = 2πr

d = 2π × 18 = 113.09 feet

Let v is the linear speed. It can be given by :

v=\dfrac{D}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{113.09}{31}\\\\v=3.64\ ft/s

So, the linear speed of the carousel is 3.64 ft/s.
