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 .

The Area Ratio of two similar solids is 169: 289. If the volume of the smaller solid is 689,858 cm, what is the volume of the la
masha68 [24]

Answer:

1,542,682 cm^3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor = √169:√289

= 13:17

So the Volume ratio is 13^3:17^3

So the volume of the larger solid is  689,858 * (17^3/13^3)

= 1,542,682 cm^3.

24. If Jenna spent 30 hours on the computer this week. how much total time did she spend on
Verdich [7]

Option B) 3 hours is the time spent by Jenna on the e-mail this week.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Jenna spent 30 hours on the computer this week.

The amount of time she spends on computer to work on various fields in given in the pie-chart.

This 30 hours represents her 100% work on computer.

From the figure shown,

She spent 10% of her total work on e-mail.

Therefore, 10% of 30 is the work done in hours by her on e-mail.

⇒ (10/100) × 30

⇒ 0.1 × 30

⇒ 3 hours

∴ Option B) 3 hours is the time spent by Jenna on the e-mail this week.
