What is the answer to the problem 1/2x=14

A boiler has five identical relief valves. The probability that any particular valve will open on demand is 0.93. Assume indepen

noname [10]

Answer:

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each valve there are only two possible outcomes. Either it opens on demand, or it does not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$n = 5, p = 0.93$

Calculate P(at least one valve opens).

This is $P(X \geq 1)$

Either no valves open, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.93)^{0}.(0.07)^{5} = 0.0000016807$

Finally

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0000016807 = 0.9999983193$

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

4 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = Length * Width

64 = 16 * W.

W = 4.

So, 4 square feet.

PLEASE HELP Complete the table with the number of sit-ups you have to do sunday so that the mean number of sit-ups per day is 10

klemol [59]

The complete table will be:

$Monday - 100\\ Tuesday-65\\ Wednesday- 120\\ Thursday-150\\ Friday-90\\ Saturday- 0\\ Sunday-175$

Explanation

Suppose, the number of sit-ups in Sunday is $x$

Mean is the simple average of some numbers. For finding the mean number of sit-ups per day, we need to divide the 'total number of sit-ups' by the 'total number of days'.

Here the total number of days is 7 and the total number of sit-ups for 7 days $= 100+65+120+150+90+0+x= 525+x$

Given that, the mean number of sit-ups per day is 100. So, the equation will be...

$\frac{525+x}{7}=100\\ \\ 525+x=700\\ \\ x= 700-525=175$

So, the number of sit-ups you have to do Sunday is 175.

For the region bounded by y=2x, the x-axis, and x=1, determine which of the following is greater: the volume of the solid ge

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The correct answer B) The volumes are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a disk of revolution at any x about the x- axis is πy² where y=2x. If we integrate this area on the given range of values of x from x=0 to x=1 , we will get the volume of revolution about the x-axis, which here equals,

$\int\limits^1_0 {(pi)y^{2} } \, dx$

which when evaluated gives 4pi/3.

Now we have to calculate the volume of revolution about the y-axis. For that we have to first see by drawing the diagram that the area of the CD like disk centered about the y-axis for any y, as we rotate the triangular area given in the question would be pi - pi*x². if we integrate this area over the range of value of y that is from y=0 to y=2 , we will obtain the volume of revolution about the y-axis, which is given by,

$\int\limits^2_0 {pi - pix^{2} } \, dy = \int\limits^2_0 {1 - y^{2}/4 } \, dy$

If we just evaluate the integral as usual we will get 4pi/3 again(In the second step i have just replaced x with y/2 as given by the equation of the line), which is the same answer we got for the volume of revolution about the x-axis. Which means that the answer B) is correct.
