A consumer report counted 72 low quality, 112 medium quality, and 711 high quality computers based on a random sample. The repor

t went on to say that all computers, regardless of quality, are packaged identically and sold at the same price. Use the observed frequencies to create a probability model for the quality of the next computer purchased

Total number of computers in sample = 72 + 112 + 711 = 895.
P(LQ) = 72/895 = 0.08
P(MQ) = 112/895 = 0.125
P(HQ) = 711/895 = 0.794

Answer:

$P(L) = 0.0804$

$P(M) = 0.1251$

$P(H) = 0.7945$

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes desired by the number of total outcomes.

I am going to say that we have these following events

L is the event that a computer is low quality.

There are 72+112+711 = 895 computers. Of those, 72 are low quality. So

$P(L) = \frac{72}{895} = 0.0804$

M is the event that a computer is medium quality.

Of the 895 computers, 112 of them are medium quality. So

$P(M) = \frac{112}{895} = 0.1251$

H is the event that a computer is medium quality.

Of the 895 computers, 711 of them are medium quality. So

$P(H) = \frac{711}{895} = 0.7945$

A carpenter wants to build a rectangular box with square sides in which to put round things. the material for the bottom costs $

alexira [117]

Answer: $1.627\times 1.627\times 1.88\ ft^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Suppose side face have a dimension of l\times l

and width of h

volume $V=l^2\cdot h$

$h=\frac{V}{l^2}$

volume $V=5 ft^3$

Area of side wall is $A_s=l^2$

Area of top Wall $A_t=l\times h$

Area of bottom $A_b=l\times h$

Cost of bottom wall $c_b=20\times l\times h=20lh$

Cost of top wall $c_t=50\times l\times h=50lh$

Cost of side walls $c_s=4\times l^2\times 10=40l^2$

total cost $C=c_s+c_t+c_b=20lh+50lh+40l^2$

$C=70lh+40l^2$

$C=70\times l\times \frac{5}{l^2}+40l^2$

differentiate C w.r.t l to get minima or maxima

$\frac{\mathrm{d} C}{\mathrm{d} l}=0$

$-\frac{350}{l}+80l^2=0$

$l^3=\frac{350}{80}$

$l=1.627 ft$

$h=\frac{5}{2.648}$

$h=1.88 ft$

Dimension of Box is $1.627\times 1.627\times 1.88\ ft^3$

PLZ HELP ill GIVE BRAINIESt!!!!

Elenna [48]

This problem can be modeled by the picture shown below. We notice that we are given to side lengths, specifically legs, of the triangle. Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that a^2+b^2=c^2, where a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse. So we can do:

16^2+12^2=c^2
256+144=c^2
400=c^2

The square root of 400 is 20, which is our hypotenuse.

(You might wonder why we used 12, that is because the whole base length is 24, but we only need half of the base to use the Pythagorean Theorem. 24/2 is 12).

Richard s kitchen floor measures 22 ft by 16ft. He plans on laying title down and each tile piece measures 16 inches by 16 inche

olya-2409 [2.1K]

We calculate the floor area of the kitchen:
A = (22) * (16)
A = 352 feet ^ 2
We consider the following conversion:
1 foot = 12 inches.
Applying the conversion we have:
A = 352 * (12/1) ^ 2
A = 50688 in ^ 2
We calculate the area of each tile:
A = (16) * (16)
A = 256 in ^ 2
Then, the number of tiles is given by:
N = (50688) / (256)
N = 198
Answer:
He needs to buy 198 tiles

Write a vector equation of the line that passes through point P(-4,11) and is parallel to a=[-3,8]. Then write parametric equati

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

$\vec l = (-4, 11) + t\cdot (-3,8)$ , $x = -4 - 3\cdot t$ and $y = 11 + 8\cdot t$

Step-by-step explanation:

The vector equation of the line is:

$\vec l = \vec P + t \cdot \vec A$

$\vec l = (-4, 11) + t\cdot (-3,8)$

The parametric equations of the line are:

$x = -4 - 3\cdot t$ and $y = 11 + 8\cdot t$
