The automatic opening device of a military cargo parachute has been designed to open when the parachute is 200 m above the groun

d. Suppose opening altitude actually has a normal distribution with mean value 200 and standard deviation 34 m. Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m. What is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer: 0.0082

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable that represents the opening altitude.

We assume that opening altitude actually has a normal distribution .

As per given , we have

\mu=200 \ \ \sigma=34

Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m.

z-score corresponds to x=100, z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

i.e.  z=\dfrac{100-200}{34}\approx-2.94

P-value = P(z

Let Y be a binomial variable that represents the opening altitude.

with parameters p=0.0016411 , n= 5

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Required probability :

P(x\geq1)=1-P(x

Hence, the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes = 0.0082

What is the solution to the system of equations below? 3x-2y=7 and -3x+5y=5
Zolol [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

So you add one over the other

3x-2y=7

-3x+5y=5

=

3y=12

Then you divide 3 from both sides

(3y)/3=12/3

y=4

Then you substitute the y=4 in to the equation of your choice

3x-2(4)=7

3x-8=7

3x-8=7

+8 +8

3x=15

x=5

A baseball collector took inventory of all of his baseball cards along with the value of each card. The box plot represents the
love history [14]

Answer: less than 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The box plot can be read as follows:

The first black dot is the minimum value.

The first half of the rectangle is the lower quartile.

The line that separates the two rectangles is the median.

The second half of the rectangle is the upper quartile

The final point is the maximum.

Knowing that each quartile represents about the 25% of the elements for the set, we can see that both lower and upper quartile (and the 25% of the elements that come after the upper quartile) cost more than $45.

Then we know that at least the (25% + 25% + 25%) = 75% of the cards in the collection cost more than $45.

And we also have elements that are not in the lower quartile that cost more than $45, but we can not determine the percentage that they represent.

So we can only conclude that more than the 75% of the collection costs more than $45.

Now we want to know the percentage of the baseball cards valued at less than $45.

So if more than 75% is valued at more than $45.

Then less than 25% is valued at less than $25.

Find the values of the mode when median is given to be 5 and mean is 7.
Reil [10]

Answer:

<u>Mode = 1</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Relation between the Central Measures of Tendency</u>

  • Mean, Median, and Mode are commonly referred to as the Central Measures of Tendency
  • The formula between the three is given by :
  • ⇒ <u>Mode = 3Median - 2Mean</u> or <u>Mode + 2Mean = 3Median</u>

<u></u>

<u>Solving</u>

  • We know that :
  1. Median = 5
  2. Mean = 7

Therefore,

  • Mode = 3(5) - 2(7)
  • Mode = 15 - 14
  • <u>Mode = 1</u>
