Olivia is cutting a 1 1/2 m by 3/4 m piece of rectangular paper into two pieces along its diagonal. Find the area

Answer:

9/16 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you cut two pieces along its diagonal it causes it to be two congruent triangular pieces.

<em>You need to multiply the length and the width to find an area: </em>

1 1/2 × 3/4

<em>Now you need to change it into an improper fraction:</em>

1*2+1 = 2+1 = 3; this gives us 3/2:

3/2 × 3/4 = 9/8 = 1 1/8

<em>Dividing it by 2:</em>

9/8 ÷ 2

A shipment of 50,000 transistors arrives at a manufacturing plant. The quality control engineer at the plant obtains a random sa
Aleks04 [339]

Step-by-step explanation:

remember, the number of possible combinations to pick m out of n elements is C(n, m) = n!/(m! × (n-m)!)

50,000 transistors.

4% are defective, that means 4/100 = 1/25 of the whole.

so, the probability for one picked transistor to be defective is 1/25.

and the probability for it to work properly is then 1-1/25 = 24/25.

now, 500 picks are done.

to accept the shipment, 9 or less of these 500 picks must be defective.

the probability is then the sum of the probabilities to get

0 defective = (24/25)⁵⁰⁰

1 defective = (24/25)⁴⁹⁹×1/25 × C(500, 1)

= 24⁴⁹⁹/25⁵⁰⁰ × 500

2 defective = (24/25)⁴⁹⁸×1/25² × C(500, 2)

= 24⁴⁹⁸/25⁵⁰⁰ × 250×499

3 defective = 24⁴⁹⁷/25⁵⁰⁰ × C(500, 3) =

= 24⁴⁹⁷/25⁵⁰⁰ × 250×499×166

...

9 defective = 24⁴⁹¹/25⁵⁰⁰ × C(500, 9) =

= 24⁴⁹¹/25⁵⁰⁰ × 500×499×498×497×496×495×494×493×492×491 /

9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2 =

= 24⁴⁹¹/25⁵⁰⁰ × 50×499×166×71×31×55×494×493×41×491

best to use Excel or another form of spreadsheet to calculate all this and add it all up :

the probability that the engineer will accept the shipment is

0.004376634...

which makes sense, when you think about it, because 10 defect units in the 500 is only 2%. and since the whole shipment contains 4% defect units, it is highly unlikely that the random sample of 500 will pick so overwhelmingly the good pieces.

is the acceptance policy good ?

that completely depends on the circumstances.

what was the requirement about max. faulty rate in the first place ? if it was 2%, then the engineer's approach is basically sound.

it then further depends what are the costs resulting from a faulty unit ? that depends again on when the defect is usually found (still in manufacturing, or already out there at the customer site, or somewhere in between) and how critical the product containing such transistors is. e.g. recalls for products are extremely costly, while simply sorting the bad transistors out during the manufacturing process can be rather cheap. if there is a reliable and quick process to do so.

so, depending on repair, outage and even penalty costs it might be even advisable to have a harder limit during the sample test.

in other words - it depends on experience and the found distribution/probability curve, standard deviation, costs involved and other factors to define the best criteria for the sample test.

Use graph to answer question
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

cos(θ) = 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can think of this situation as a triangle rectangle (you can see it in the image below).

Here, we have a triangle rectangle with an angle θ, such that the adjacent cathetus to θ is 3 units long, and the cathetus opposite to θ is 4 units long.

Here we want to find cos(θ).

You should remember:

cos(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

We already know that the adjacent cathetus is equal to 3.

And for the hypotenuse, we can use the Pythagorean's theorem, which says that the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the square of the hypotenuse, this is:

3^2 + 4^2 = H^2

We can solve this for H, to get:

H = √( 3^2 + 4^2) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5

The hypotenuse is 5 units long.

Then we have:

cos(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

cos(θ) = 3/5

The base of a regular pyramid is a hexagon. The figure shows a regular hexagon with center C. An apothem is shown as a dashed se
tatuchka [14]
Answer: 294√3

Explanation:


1) The described hexagon has these featrues:
a) 6 congruent equilateral triangles whose side lengths measure 14
b) height of each triangle = apotema = a
c) the area of each triangle is base × a / 2 = 14 × a / 2 = 7a


2) a is one leg of a right triangle whose other leg is 14 / 2 = 7, and the hypotenuse is 14.

3) Then you can use Pythagorean theorem fo find a:

14² = 7² + a² ⇒ a² = 14² - 7² = 147 ⇒ a = √ 147 = 7√3

4) Therefore, the area of one triangle is: 14 × 7√3  / 2 = 49√3

5) And the area of the hexagon is 6 times that: 6 × 49√3 = 294√3
