Answer: y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

16y-12=52

Cancel out the -12 by making it positive:

16y+12=52

Add 12 to 52:

16y=64

Divide by 16 on both sides:

y=4

Finding perimeter and area
Korvikt [17]

Answer: The perimeter of a two-dimensional shape is the distance around the shape. It is found by adding up all the sides (as long as they are all the same unit). The area of a two-dimensional shape is found by counting the number of squares that cover the shape.

After a large scale earthquake, it is predicted that 15% of all buildings have been structurally compromised.a) What is the prob
Westkost [7]

Answer:

a) 13.68% probability that if engineers inspect 20 buildings they will find exactly one that is structurally compromised.

b) 17.56% probability that if engineers inspect 20 buildings they will find less than 2 that are structurally compromised

c) 17.02% probability that if engineers inspect 20 buildings they will find greater than 4 that are structurally compromised

d) 75.70% probability that if engineers inspect 20 buildings they will find between 2 and 5 (inclusive) that are structurally compromised

e) The expected number of buildings that an engineer will find structurally compromised if the engineer inspects 20 buildings is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each building, there are only two possible outcomes after a earthquake. Either they have been damaged, or they have not. The probability of a building being damaged is independent from other buildings. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

15% of all buildings have been structurally compromised.

This means that p = 0.15

20 buildings

This means that n = 20

a) What is the probability that if engineers inspect 20 buildings they will find exactly one that is structurally compromised?

This is P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.15)^{1}.(0.85)^{19} = 0.1368

13.68% probability that if engineers inspect 20 buildings they will find exactly one that is structurally compromised.

b) What is the probability that if engineers inspect 20 buildings they will find less than 2 that are structurally compromised?

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.15)^{0}.(0.85)^{20} = 0.0388

P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.15)^{1}.(0.85)^{19} = 0.1368

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0388 + 0.1368 = 0.1756

17.56% probability that if engineers inspect 20 buildings they will find less than 2 that are structurally compromised

c) What is the probability that if engineers inspect 20 buildings they will find greater than 4 that are structurally compromised?

Either they find 4 or less, or they find more than 4. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So

P(X \leq 4) + P(X > 4) = 1

P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4)

In which

P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.15)^{0}.(0.85)^{20} = 0.0388

P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.15)^{1}.(0.85)^{19} = 0.1368

P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.15)^{2}.(0.85)^{18} = 0.2293

P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.15)^{3}.(0.85)^{17} = 0.2428

P(X = 4) = C_{20,4}.(0.15)^{4}.(0.85)^{16} = 0.1821

P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.0388 + 0.1368 + 02293 + 0.2428 + 0.1821 = 0.8298

P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4) = 1 - 0.8298 = 0.1702

17.02% probability that if engineers inspect 20 buildings they will find greater than 4 that are structurally compromised

d) What is the probability that if engineers inspect 20 buildings they will find between 2 and 5 (inclusive) that are structurally compromised?

P(2 \leq X \leq 5) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.15)^{2}.(0.85)^{18} = 0.2293

P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.15)^{3}.(0.85)^{17} = 0.2428

P(X = 4) = C_{20,4}.(0.15)^{4}.(0.85)^{16} = 0.1821

P(X = 5) = C_{20,5}.(0.15)^{5}.(0.85)^{15} = 0.1028

P(2 \leq X \leq 5) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.2293 + 0.2428 + 0.1821 + 0.1028 = 0.7570

75.70% probability that if engineers inspect 20 buildings they will find between 2 and 5 (inclusive) that are structurally compromised

e) What is the expected number of buildings that an engineer will find structurally compromised if the engineer inspects 20 buildings?

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

So

E(X) = 20*0.15 = 3

The expected number of buildings that an engineer will find structurally compromised if the engineer inspects 20 buildings is 3.

A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. The combined weight of a large box and a small box is 85
insens350 [35]
First, "boxes of two sizes" means we can assign variables:   Let x = number of large boxes        y = number of small boxes   "There are 115 boxes in all"    means    x + y = 115      [eq1] Now, the pounds for each kind of box is:     (pounds per box)*(number of boxes) So,   pounds for large boxes     +    pounds for small boxes      =    4125 pounds                  "the truck is carrying a total of 4125 pounds in boxes"          (50)*(x)                   +              (25)*(y)                  = 4125    [eq2] It is important to find two equations so we can solve for two variables. Solve for one of the variables in eq1 then replace (substitute) the expression for that variable in eq2.  Let's solve for x:    x = 115 - y          [from eq1]      50(115-y) + 25y = 4125             [from eq2]      5750 - 50y  + 25y = 4125           [distribute]      5750 - 25y = 4125       -25y = -1625          y = 65             [divide both sides by (-25)]   There are 65 small boxes. Put that value into either equation (now, which is easier?) to solve for x:   x = 115 - y   x = 115 - 65   x = 50    There are 50 large boxes.
