Resistors. An electrical engineer has two boxes of resistors, with four resistors in each box. The resistors in the first box ar

e labeled 10 ohms, but in fact their resistances are 9, 10, 11, and 12 ohms. The resistors in the second box are labeled 20 ohms, but in fact haveresistances of 18, 19, 20, and 21 ohms. The engineer chooses one resistor from each box and determines the resistance of each. Answer the following:
A. List all possible outcomes in the sample space.
B. List all outcomes in the event B, the event that the second resistor has a resistance less than 19.
C. List all outcomes in the event C, the event that the sum of the resistances is equal to 28.
D. List all outcomes in B∪C.
E. List all outcomes in B(complement) ∩C .

Answer:

A. Sample Space = S = {(9, 18),(9, 19),(9, 20),(9, 21),(10, 18),(10, 19),(10, 20),(10, 21),(11, 18),(11, 19),(11, 20),(11, 21),(12, 18),(12, 19),(12, 20),(12, 21)}

B.  {(9, 18),(10, 18),(11, 18),(12, 18)}

C. {(9, 18),(9, 19),(10, 18)}

D.  {(9, 18),(9, 19),(10, 18),(11, 18),(12, 18)}

E. B(complement) ∩C =  {(9, 19)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Sample Space would contain each element of the box A associated with each element of the box B.

A. Sample Space = S = {(9, 18),(9, 19),(9, 20),(9, 21),(10, 18),(10, 19),(10, 20),(10, 21),(11, 18),(11, 19),(11, 20),(11, 21),(12, 18),(12, 19),(12, 20),(12, 21)}

B.  Let the Outcomes in the event B, the event that the second resistor has a resistance less than 19 be denoted by J then

J=  {(9, 18),(10, 18),(11, 18),(12, 18)}

C. Let the outcomes in the event C, the event that the sum of the resistances is equal to 28 be denoted by L then

L =  {(9, 18),(9, 19),(10, 18)}

D. The  outcomes in B∪C contains all the elements of B and C

B∪C=J∪L= {(9, 18),(9, 19),(10, 18),(11, 18),(12, 18)}

E. B complement contains those elements of the Sample Space which are not the elements of Set B.

B complement= S-B=  {(9, 19),(9, 20),(9, 21),(10, 19),(10, 20),(10, 21),(11, 19),(11, 20),(11, 21),(12, 19),(12, 20),(12, 21)}

B(complement) ∩C contains those elements of B and C which are common to both B complement and C.

B(complement) ∩C =  {(9, 19)}

A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 150 ft and 180 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the antenn
Dafna1 [17]

The distance between the anchor points of the two guy wires holding radio antenna is 181 feet (to the nearest foot)

<h3>How to determine the distance between the two anchor points of the guy wire</h3>

The problem will be solved using SOH CAH TOA

let the distance between the 150 ft long guy wire and the radio antenna be x

let the distance between the 180 ft long guy wire and the radio antenna be y

cos 65° = x / 150

x = cos 65° * 150

x = 63.39 ft

The height of the antenna

sin 65° = height of antenna / 150

height of antenna = sin 65 * 150

height of antenna = 135.95

using Pythagoras theorem

(length of guy wire)² = (height of the antenna)² + (anchor distance)²

(anchor distance)² = 180² - 135.95²

anchor distance = √(180² - 135.95²)

anchor distance = 117.97

The anchor points distance apart

= 63.39 + 117.97

= 181 (to the nearest foot)
