Hello! I believe the answer is x = 320 ?
Here's how I got this :

Since 16 = x/20, why don't we multiply 16(20)? That way, we figure out what you divided by 20 to get 16.

16 (20) = 320

320/16 = 20 and 320/20 = 16!

g Suppose a factory production line uses 3 machines, A, B, and C for making bolts. The total output from the line is distributed

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The probability that it came from A, given that is defective is 0.362.

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the events:

A: The element comes from A.

B: The element comes from B.

C: The element comes from C.

D: The elemens is defective.

We are given that P(A) = 0.25, P(B) = 0.35, P(C) = 0.4. Recall that since the element comes from only one of the machines, if an element is defective, it comes either from A, B or C. Using the probability axioms, we can calculate that

$P(D) = P(A\cap D) + P(B\cap D) + P(C\cap D)$

Recall that given events E,F the conditional probability of E given F is defined as

$P(E|F) = \frac{P(E\cap F)}{P(F)}$ , from where we deduce that

$P(E\cap F) = P(E|F)P(F)$ .

We are given that given that the element is from A, the probability of being defective is 5%. That is P(D|A) =0.05. Using the previous analysis we get that

$P(D) = P(A)P(D|A)+P(B) P(D|B) + P(C)P(D|C) = 0.05\cdot 0.25+0.04\cdot 0.35+0.02\cdot 0.4 = 0.0345$

We are told to calculate P(A|D), then using the formulas we have

$P(A|D) = \frac{P(A\cap D)}{P(D)}= \frac{P(D|A)P(A)}{P(D)}= \frac{0.05\cdot 0.25}{0.0345}= 0.36231884$

What is the argument of -5\sqrt{3}+ 5i?

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

150 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Graphing the complex number we see the angle terminates in the second quadrant. This means the argument, the angle, will be between 90 degrees and 180 degrees.

So if we create a right triangle with that point after graphing it. We see the height of that triangle is 5 because that is the imaginary part. The base of that triangle has length $5\sqrt{3}$ . The problem is this doesn't give us any part of the angle we want, but it does give us the complementary of the part of the angle that is in second quadrant.
