Computer keyboard failures are due to faulty electrical connects (12%) or mechanical defects (88%). Mechanical defects are relat

ed to loose keys (27%) or improper assembly (73%). Electrical connect defects are caused by defective wires (35%), improper connections (13%), or poorly welded wires (52%).A) Define all relevant elemental events, and express all numbers in terms of the appropriate probabilities.B) Draw a tree diagram to illustrate the possible outcomes of the experiment of randomly selecting a keyboard failure and observing its source and cause.C) Find the probability that a failure is due to loose keys.D) Find the probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires.

Answer:

(c) Probability that a failure is due to loose keys = 0.2376

(d) Probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires = 0.078

Step-by-step explanation:

The Whole probability scenario is given for Computer Keyboard failures.

(a) Let F be the event of failure due to faulty electrical connects, P(F) = 0.12

 M be the event of failure due to mechanical defects, P(M) = 0.88

 LK be the event of mechanical defect due to loose keys, P(LK/M) = 0.27

 IA be the event of mechanical defect due to improper assembly, P(IA/M)   =0.73

 DW be the event of electrical connects due to defective wires,P(DW/F) = 0.35

 IC be the event of electrical connects due to improper connections,

  P(IC/F) = 0.13 .

PWW be the event of electrical connects due to poorly welded wires,

  P(PWW/F) = 0.52

(b)                                     <u> </u><u>Keyboard failures</u>

<h2>                              /               \</h2>

           <u> </u><u> Faulty electrical connects   </u>            <u>Mechanical Defects </u>          

                      P(F) = 0.12                                             P(M) = 0.88

<h2>        /            |             \                  /            \</h2>

<u><em>Defective wires</em></u>  <u><em>Improper</em></u>        <u><em>Poorly</em></u>                  <u><em>Loose Keys</em></u>      <u><em>Improper</em></u><em> </em>

P(DW/F)=0.35   <u><em>Connections</em></u>   <u><em>Welded wires</em></u>      P(LK/M)=0.27   <em> </em><u><em>Assembly</em></u>

                           P(IC/F)=0.13     P(PWW/F)=0.52                            P(IA/M)=0.73              

This is the required tree diagram.

(c) Probability that a failure is due to loose keys is given by:

  P(LK) =P(LK/M) * P(M) {This means mechanical failure is due to loose  

                                               keys}

    P(LK) = 0.27 * 0.88 = 0.2376 .

(d) Probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded

     wires is given by P(IC \bigcup PWW) ;

 P(IC \bigcup PWW) = P(IC) + P(PWW) - P(IC \bigcap PWW) { Here P(IC \bigcap PWW) = 0 }

 P(IC) = P(IC/F) * P(F)  = 0.13 * 0.12 = 0.0156

 P(PWW) = P(PWW/F) * P(F) = 0.52 * 0.13 = 0.0676

Therefore, P(IC \bigcup PWW) = 0.0156 + 0.0676 - 0 = 0.078 .

  3. Corresponding angles are ones where they are in the same configuration of the 4 corner angle set up. Angles A and E are in the same northwest position. Another pair would be angles B and F in the northeast, and so on. Corresponding angles are congruent when we have parallel lines like this.
  4. Vertical angles form when we cross two lines. They are opposite one another and always congruent (regardless if the lines are parallel or not).
  5. Alternate interior angles are inside the parallel lines, and they are on alternating sides of the transversal cut. Alternate interior angles are congruent when we have parallel lines like this.
  6. Alternate exterior angles are the same idea as number 5, but now we're outside the parallel lines. Alternate exterior angles are congruent when we have parallel lines like this.
  7. Adjacent angles can be thought of as two rooms that share the same wall. Specifically, adjacent angles are two angles that share the same segment, line, or ray. The angles must also share the same vertex. In this case, any pair of adjacent angles always adds to 180 (though it won't be true for any random pair of adjacent angles for geometry problems later on).
  8. Simply list any angle that looks obtuse, ie any angle that is larger than 90 degrees.
  9. List any angle that is smaller than 90 degrees. It can be adjacent to whatever you picked for problem 8, but it could be any other acute angle as well.
  10. Refer to problem 7. In this case, adding any two adjacent angles together forms a straight line.

A bus travels 36 miles in 45 minutes. How many miles will the bus travel in 60 minutes at this rate. Show a ratio.
ankoles [38]
A rate is a special ratio in which the two terms are in different units. A rate is a little bit different than the ratio, it is a special ratio. For this case, the rate would have units of miles per minutes. We calculate as follows:

rate = 36 miles / 45 min = 0.8 miles per min
distance traveled = 0.8 miles per min ( 60 min ) = 48 miles
