A satellite is composed of 30 modular units, each of which is equipped with a set of sensors, some of which have been upgraded.

Each unit contains the same number of non-upgraded sensors. If the number of non-upgraded sensors on one unit is 1/5 the total number of upgraded sensors on the entire satellite, what fraction of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded?
a) 5/6
b) 1/5
c) 1/6
d) 1/7
e) 1/24

Answer:

1/7 (option d) of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded

Step-by-step explanation:

Each unit contains the same number of non-upgraded sensors

number of non-upgraded sensors for each module (nus)

total number of upgraded sensors on the satellite (tus)

satellite is composed of 30 modular units

total number of non-upgraded sensors on the satellite (tnus):

tnus=30*nus

total number of sensors on the satellite (ts):

ts=tnus+tus = 30*nus + tus (I)

The number of non-upgraded sensors on one unit is 1/5 the total number of upgraded sensors on the entire satellite

nus=(1/5)*tus

tus = 5 * nus (II)

Fraction of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded (FU):

FU = tus/ts

Using I and II

FU= (5* nus)/(30*nus + tus)

FU = (5* nus)/(30*nus + 5 * nus)

FU = (5* nus)/(35*nus)

FU = 1/7

1/7 (option d) of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded

The school's lemonade is $10\%$ lemon juice by volume, and the rest is sugar water. how many liters of lemon juice must be added

kondor19780726 [428]

The percentage of lemon in the juice is 10%
The percentage of water sugar is (100-10)=90%
The quantity of lemon in 20 liters of sugar water will be:
amount=(percentage of lemon)/(percentage of sugar water)×(amount of sugar water)
=10/90×20
=2 2/9 liters

Which of the following best describes rotational symmetry

Gala2k [10]

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

A best describes the quality of symmetry, not specifically rotational symmetry.

C applies to that of A.

D applies to flipping an image across an axis.

B specifically outlines the symmetry of an object when rotated, thus B would be the most precise answer.

inn [45]

Answer:

the probability that more than 70% of customers in the sample will need additional maintenance is 0.0371

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

we are to determine the probability that more than 70% of customers in the sample will need additional maintenance

In order to achieve that, let X be the random variable that follows a binomial distribution.

Then X $\sim$ Bin(48, 0.6)

However 70% of 48 samples is

= 0.7 × 48 = 33.6 $\simeq$ 34

Therefore, the required probability is:

= P(X> 34)

$= \sum \limits ^{48}_{x=34} (^{48}_{x}) (0.6)^x(1 - 0.6)^{48-x}$

$= \dfrac{48!}{34!(48-34)!} (0.6)^{34} (0.4)^{48-34}$

$= 4.823206232 \times 10^{11} (0.60)^{34}(0.4)^{14}$

= 0.03709524328

$\simeq$ 0.0371
