1.6% of 250 = (1.6 *250) / 100 = 4 times

Answer:

The number of times CD drives may fail are 4 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Percentage = \frac{Part\ values\times 100}{Total\ value}$

As given

A company manufactures CD drives that have a 1.6% chance of experiencing disc-read errors.

If a CD drive is tested for 250 read operations .

Percentage = 1.6 %

Total value = 250

Put all the values in the formula

$1.6= \frac{Part\ values\times 100}{250}$

$Part\ value= \frac{1.6\times 250}{100}$

$Part\ value= \frac{400}{100}$

Part value = 4

Therefore the number of times CD drives may fail are 4 .

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the smallest sample size required is given by:

B) 7 vehicles.

<h3>What is the margin of error for a z-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

It is given by:

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which:

z is the critical value.

$\sigma$ is the population standard deviation.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 90% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.9$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95$ , so the critical value is z = 1.645.

The margin of error and the population standard deviation are given by, respectively:

$M = 10, \sigma = 15$ .

Then, we solve for n to find the needed sample size.

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$10 = 1.645\frac{15}{\sqrt{n}}$

$10\sqrt{n} = 1.645 \times 15$

$\sqrt{n} = 1.645 \times 1.5$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.645 \times 1.5)^2$

$n = 6.1$

Rounding up, 7 vehicles have to be sampled, hence option B is correct.

QveST [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.225km is equal to each laps

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Kristy total distance traveled = 29.6km

And Kristy ran 24 laps and later walk 0.2km. it simply implies that

Total distance traveled = distance covered running + distance covered walking

Since we know that

Total distance traveled = 29.6km

distance covered running = 24 laps

distance covered walking = 0.2km

Distance covered running in km = total distance traveled - distance covered walking

Distance covered running in km = 29.6km - 0.2km = 29.4km.

To now find the distance for each lap.

Since we have:

Distance covered running in km = 29.4km.

Distance covered running in lap = 24 laps

i.e

24 laps = 29.4km

1 lap = x

Use cross-multiple

24 laps * x = 29.4km × 1 lap

x = 29.4km / 24

x = 1.225km

Therefore

1.225km is equal to each laps.

Answer:

$33.14\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Y ----> field of vision that Yash's camera would need

we know that

Applying the law of sines

$\frac{sin(Y)}{25}=\frac{sin(41\°)}{30}$

Solve for sin(Y)

$sin(Y)=\frac{sin(41\°)}{30}(25)$

$Y=sin^{-1}[\frac{sin(41\°)}{30}(25)]$

$Y=33.14\°$
