Answer:

When sides are doubled, the area of new triangle will always be 4 times the original, the change in area will be 3 times. Hence the % change will always be 300% irrespective of the type of triangle.

A certain kind of sheet metal has, on average, 3 defects per 18 square feet. Assuming a Poisson distribution, find the probabili

Fofino [41]

Answer:

75.8% probability that a 31 square foot metal sheet has at least 4 defects.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

In this problem, we have that:

3 defects per 18 square feet.

So for 31 square feet, we have to solve a rule of three

3 defects - 18 square feet

x defects - 31 square feet

$18x = 3*31$

$x = \frac{31*3}{18}$

$x = 5.17$

So $\mu = 5.17$

Assuming a Poisson distribution, find the probability that a 31 square foot metal sheet has at least 4 defects.

Either it has three or less defects, or it has at least 4 defects. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1.

$P(X \leq 3) + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 4)$

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 3)$

In which

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-5.17}*(5.17)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0057$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-5.17}*(5.17)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0294$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-5.17}*(5.17)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0760$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-5.17}*(5.17)^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.1309$

$P(X \leq 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0057 + 0.0294 + 0.0760 + 0.1309 = 0.242$

Finally

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 3) = 1 - 0.242 = 0.758$

75.8% probability that a 31 square foot metal sheet has at least 4 defects.

Zara has forgotten her 4-digit PIN code. She knows the first digit is a prime number and the 4 digits make a number divisible by

vredina [299]

Answer:

2,500 different sets

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, calculation of the given data are as follows,

Let 4-digit PIN code be WXYZ

As first digit is a prime number

So, W = 1, 2, 3, 5, 7

n(W) = 5

X and Y are number from 0 - 9

So, n(X) = 10 & n(Y) = 10

Z makes the whole number divisible by 2.

So, Z must even number

So, Z = 0,2,4,6,8 or n(Z) = 5

We can calculate the number of different sets by using following formula,

n(W) × n(X) × n(Y) × n(Z)

By putting the value, we get

5 × 10 × 10 × 5 = 2,500

This diagram shows the flag of a local soccer club what is the area of the area of the red portion of the flag?

ella [17]

The answer is C A= 90 in^2. This is because the total area is represented by 10x18, which equals 180. The red occupies half of the flag, and 180 divided by 2 is 90.
