Answer:

There is a 73.11% probability that at least 2 machines will break down on a given day.

Step-by-step explanation:

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:

There are 4 machines, so n = 4.

The probability that on a given day any one machine will break down is 0.53. This means that p = 0.53.

What is the probability that at least 2 machines will break down on a given day?

P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

In which

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

P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.53)^{2}.(0.47)^{2} = 0.3723

P(X = 3) = C_{4,3}.(0.53)^{3}.(0.47)^{1} = 0.2799

P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.53)^{4}.(0.47)^{0} = 0.0789

So

P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.3723 + 0.2799 + 0.0789 = 0.7311

There is a 73.11% probability that at least 2 machines will break down on a given day.

Car X weighs 136 pounds more than car Z. Car Y weighs 117 pounds more than car Z. The total weight of all three cars is 9439 pou
Aleksandr [31]

Let x, y and z denote the weighs of car X, car Y and car Z, respectively.

We know that car X weighs 136 more than car Z, this can be express by the equation:

x=z+136

We also know that Y weighs 117 pounds more than car Z, this can be express as:

y=z+117

Finally, we know that the total weight of all the cars is 9439, then we have:

x+y+z=9439

Hence, we have the system of the equations:

\begin{gathered} x=z+136 \\ y=z+117 \\ z+y+z=9439 \end{gathered}

To solve the system we can plug the values of x and y, given in the first two equations, in the last equation; then we have:

\begin{gathered} z+136+z+117+z=9439 \\ 3z=9439-136-117 \\ 3z=9186 \\ z=\frac{9186}{3} \\ z=3062 \end{gathered}

Now that we have the value of z we plug it in the first two equations to find x and y:

\begin{gathered} x=3062+136=3198 \\ y=3062+117=3179 \end{gathered}

Therefore, car X weighs 3198 pound, car Y weighs 3179 pounds and car Z weighs 3062 pounds.

The area if a rectangle is 53.6cm^2.If the length is multiplied by four and the width is halved, the area would then be?
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

26.8cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

the area if a rectangle is 53.6cm^2.If the length is multiplied by four and the width is halved, the area would then be?​

Area of rectangle = length x width

53.6 = 4L x 1/2 W

53.6 = 2L × W

Divide both sides by 2

L × W = 53.6 ÷ 2

New area  = 26.8cm²
