What do all simple machines have in common?

Mathematics

Arisa [49]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

D: All of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. All simple machines are useful in some way, weather that be making it easier to lift heavy objects, activating other machines, or something else.

B. Any simple machine must be, well, simple. i. e. have few moving parts.

Take the lever, for example. It has only one moving part, yet it is still very useful.

C. They can be used to do work. Simple machines can be put together to make something that can do work.

Imagine a windmill that generates power, which then is taken by a motor attached to an Archimedes screw. All of these machines are simple, yet they are still used to do work.

An airplane has 100 seats for passengers. Assume that the probability that a person holding a ticket appears for the flight is 0

zmey [24]

Answer:

96.33% probability that everyone who appears for the flight will get a seat

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 105, p = 0.9$

$\mu = E(X) = np = 105*0.9 = 94.5$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{105*0.9*0.1} = 3.07$

What is the probability that everyone who appears for the flight will get a seat

100 or less people appearing to the flight, which is the pvalue of Z when X = 100. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{100 - 94.5}{3.07}$

$Z = 1.79$

$Z = 1.79$ has a pvalue of 0.9633

96.33% probability that everyone who appears for the flight will get a seat

8.5x+51.86=-11.5x+51.76

solniwko [45]

Add, -11.5x and move it over to 8.5x

Then, subtract them together and you get 20x + 51.86 = 51.76

And you move (subtract) 51. 86 over to 51.76, subtract that and you get 20x = -0.1

Divide, and your answer is -200

Rodney is given twi equations:x-y=11 and 2x+y=19

lozanna [386]

Answer:

x= 10 and y= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite your second equation Y= -2x+ 19 then plug it into the first equation.

x- (-2x + 19) = 11

x + 2x - 19 =11

3x - 19 = 11

3x = 30

x = 10

The plug that answer into the first equation and solve.

10 - y = 11

-y = 1

y = -1
