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%

What is the slope between the points (5,-7) and (-7,1)?
SCORPION-xisa [38]
I hope this helps you



(5,-7) x'=5 y'= -7


(-7,1) x"= -7 y"=1


slope. (x'-x")=y'-y"


slope. (5-(-7))= -7-1


slope. 12= -8


slope =-8/12


slope = -2/3

Quadrilateral PQRS is a square whos side length is 10. Let X and Y be points outside the square so that XQ = YS = 6 and XP = YR
erik [133]

Answer:

392

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles XQP and YRS are right triangles because triples 6, 8, 10 are Pythagorean triples.

Extend lines XQ, YR, YS and XP and mark their intersection as A and B.

Quadrilateral XAYB is a square because all right triangles PXQ, QAR, RYS and SBP are congruent (by ASA postulate) and therefore

  • all angles of the quadrilateral XAYB are right angles
  • all sides of XAYB are congruent and equal to 6 + 8 = 14 units.

Segment XY is the diagonal of the square XAYB, by Pythagorean theorem,

XY^2=XA^2+AY^2\\ \\XY^2=14^2+14^2\\ \\XY^2=196+196\\ \\XY^2=392

For the equation below, determine its order. Name the independent variable, the dependent variable, and any parameters in the eq
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The equation is an differential equation of second order.

The dependent variable is x, while t is the independent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the equation depends on the greatest grade of the derivative, in this case it's the second derivative (x'')

Since x is a function of t, we would have that t is the independent variable while x is the dependent variable.
