Round to the place value of the less precise measurement. 2.13 m + 8.6 m

1 answer:

3 0

The answer would be 10.19m. If you want to round it of to a less precise measurement it would be 10 m. That is rounding of the decimal value to the ones place. the rule of rounding of is form 6 t0 9 it would add 1 to the nearest place value next to it and 0 - 5 will not.

22. f(x) is stretched horizontally by a factor of 2 and reflected across the x-axis. Which choice shows the correct representati

goblinko [34]

Answer:

A. -f(1/2 x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflextion about the x-axis is

f(x) -> -f(x)

and horizontal dilation is

f(x) -> f(-x/b) where b is the factor of dilation.

so the proper answwer is

A. -f(1/2 x)

Assuming the incident of fires for individual reactors can be described by a Poisson distribution, what is the probability that

Maksim231197 [3]

Complete Question

The Brown's Ferry incident of 1975 focused national attention on the ever-present danger of fires breaking out in nuclear power plants. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has estimated that with present technology there will be on average, one fire for every 10 years for a reactor. Suppose that a certain state has two reactors on line in 2020 and they behave independently of one another. Assuming the incident of fires for individual reactors can be described by a Poisson distribution, what is the probability that by 2030 at least two fires will have occurred at these reactors?

Answer:

The value is $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 )= 0.5940$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The rate at which fire breaks out every 10 years is $\lambda = 1$

Generally the probability distribution function for Poisson distribution is mathematically represented as

$P(x) = \frac{\lambda^x}{ k! } * e^{-\lambda}$

Here x represent the number of state which is 2 i.e $x_1 \ \ and \ \ x_2$

Generally the probability that by 2030 at least two fires will have occurred at these reactors is mathematically represented as

$P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - P(x_1 + x_2 \le 1 )$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - [P(x_1 + x_2 = 0 ) + P( x_1 + x_2 = 1 )]$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - [ P(x_1 = 0 , x_2 = 0 ) + P( x_1 = 0 , x_2 = 1 ) + P(x_1 , x_2 = 0)]$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - P(x_1 = 0)P(x_2 = 0 ) + P( x_1 = 0 ) P( x_2 = 1 )+ P(x_1 = 1 )P(x_2 = 0)$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - \{ [ \frac{1^0}{ 0! } * e^{-1}] * [[ \frac{1^0}{ 0! } * e^{-1}]] )+ ( [ \frac{1^1}{1! } * e^{-1}] * [[ \frac{1^1}{ 1! } * e^{-1}]] ) + ( [ \frac{1^1}{ 1! } * e^{-1}] * [[ \frac{1^0}{ 0! } * e^{-1}]]) \}$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 )= 1- [[0.3678 * 0.3679] + [0.3678 * 0.3679] + [0.3678 * 0.3679] ]$

$P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 )= 0.5940$

Will the product be more or less than 9 8/9

solniwko [45]

It would be less because when you multiply something by 1/2 you are basically dividing it by 2, finding half. So when you multiply 9 8/9 by 1/2 your product would be less than 9 8/9

What is the area of the composite figure

lara [203]

Answer:

Area of composite figure = 216 cm²

Hence, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The composite figure consists of two figures.

1) Rectangle

2) Right-angled Triangle

We need to determine the area of the composite figure, so we need to find the area of an individual figure.

Determining the area of the rectangle:

Given

Length l = 14 cm

Width w = 12 cm

Using the formula to determine the area of the rectangle:

A = wl

substituting l = 14 and w = 12

A = (12)(14)

A = 168 cm²

Determining the area of the right-triangle:

Given

Base b = 8 cm

Height h = 12 cm

Using the formula to determine the area of the right-triangle:

A = 1/2 × b × h

A = 1/2 × 8 × 12

A = 4 × 12

A = 48 cm²

Thus, the area of the figure is:

Area of composite figure = Rectangle Area + Right-triangle Area

= 168 cm² + 48 cm²

= 216 cm²

Therefore,

Area of composite figure = 216 cm²

Hence, option A is correct.
