16. From past experience, a company has found that in cartons of transistors, 92% contain no defective transistors, 3% contain o

ne defective transistor, 3% contain two defective transistors, and 2% contain three defective transistors. Find the mean, variance, and standard deviation for the defective transistors.

Answer:

E(x)=0.15

V(x)=0.3075

S(x)=0.5545

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean of a discrete variable is calculated as:

E(x)=x_1*p(x_1)+x_2*p(x_2)+...+x_n*p(n)

where x_1,x_2,...,x_n are the values that the variable can take and p(x_1),p(x_2),...,p(x_n) are their respective probabilities.

So, if we call x the number of defective transistors in cartons, we can calculate the mean E(x) as:

E(x)=(0*0.92)+(1*0.03)+(2*0.03)+(3*0.02)=0.15

Because there are 0 defective transistor with a probability of 0.92, 1 defective transistor with a probability of 0.03, 2 defective transistors with a probability of 0.03 and 3 defective transistors with a probability of 0.01.

At the same way, the variance V(x) is calculated as:

V(x)=E(x^2)-(E(x))^2

Where E(x^2)=x_1^2*p(x_1)+x_2^2*p(x_2)+...+x_n^2*p(n)

So, the variance V(x) is equal to:

E(x^2)=(0^2*0.92)+(1^2*0.03)+(2^2*0.03)+(3^2*0.02)=0.33\\V(x)=0.33-(0.15)^2\\V(x)=0.3075

Finally, the standard deviation is calculated as:

S(x)=\sqrt{V(x)} \\S(x)=\sqrt{0.3075} \\S(x)=0.5545

Answer:

mean = 0.15

variance = 0.3075

standard deviation = 0.5707

Step-by-step explanation:

- See the attachment an fill in the cells with "bold" marked columns.

- Where mean = E(X)

                     E(X) = Sum ( Xi*P(Xi) )

                             = 0 + 0.03 + 0.06 + 0.06

                             = 0.15

- The variance = Var (X)

                     Var (X) = Sum ( X2*P(X) ) - E(X)^2

                                 = (0 + 0.03 + 0.12 + 0.18) - 0.15^2

                                 = 0.3075

- The standard deviation = S(X)

                     S(X) = √Var(X) = √0.3075 = 0.5707

Answer:

J. 12 : 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Amy used 2 tea bags for every 3 cups of water to make iced tea

the ratio here is 2:3

x = 2:3

lets simplify our ratios

6 : 10 = 3 : 5 ≠ 2 : 3

5 : 6 = (doesn't simplify evenly) ≠ 2 : 3

9 : 15 = 3 : 5 ≠ 2 : 3

12 : 18 = 2 : 3 = 2 : 3

<h3>Simplifying</h3>

find their highest common factor and divide both the numbers by the <u>same amount</u> (HCF).

Ex.

12 : 18

12 ÷ 6 = 2

18 ÷ 6 = 3

2 : 3

the perimeter of the floor of a room is 18 metre and its height is 3 cm what is the area of 4 walls of the room​
Lina20 [59]

Note: The height of the room must be 3 m instead of 3 cm because 3 cm is too small and it cannot be the height of a room.

Given:

Perimeter of the floor of a room = 18 metre

Height of the room = 3 metre

To find:

The area of 4 walls of the room.

Solution:

We know that, the area of 4 walls of the room is the curved surface area of the cuboid room.

The curved surface area of the cuboid is

C.S.A.=2h(l+b)

Where, h is height, l is length and b is breadth.

Perimeter of the rectangular base is 2(l+b). So,

C.S.A.=\text{Perimeter of the base} \times h

Putting the given values, we get

C.S.A.=18\times 3

C.S.A.=54

Therefore, the area of 4 walls of the room is 54 sq. metres.

From a radar station, the angle of elevation of an approaching airplane is 32.5 degree. The horizontal distance between the plan
denis23 [38]

Answer: 42.21 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using trigonometry, since we have the following data:

\theta=32.5\° is the the angle of elevation

d=35.6 km is the horizontal distance between the plane and the radar station

x is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed between the radar station and the airplane

Now, the trigonometric function that will be used is <u>cosine</u>:

cos\theta=\frac{d}{x} because d is the adjacent side of the right triangle

cos(32.5\°)=\frac{35.6 km}{x}

Finding x:

x=\frac{35.6 km}{cos(32.5\°)}

x=42.21 km
