5 0

Answer:

x=2, y=0. (2, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

x-y=2

2.5x+y=5

---------------

x=y+2

2.5(y+2)+y=5

2.5y+5+y=5

3.5y=5-5

3.5y=0

y=0/3.5

y=0

x=0+2=2

The probability that a single radar station will detect an enemy plane is 0.65.
taurus [48]

Answer:

a) We need 4 stations to be 98% certain that an enemy plane flying over will be detected by at least one station.

b) If seven stations are in use, the expected number of stations that will detect an enemy plane is 4.55.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each station, there are two two possible outcomes. Either they detected the enemy plane, or they do not. This means that we can solve this problem using concepts of the binomial probability distribution.

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:

The probability that a single radar station will detect an enemy plane is 0.65. This means that n = 0.65.

(a) How many such stations are required to be 98% certain that an enemy plane flying over will be detected by at least one station?

This is the value of n for which P(X = 0) \leq 0.02.

n = 1.

P(X = 0) = C_{1,0}.(0.65)^{0}.(0.35)^{1} = 0.35

n = 2

P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.65)^{0}.(0.35)^{2} = 0.1225

n = 3

P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.65)^{0}.(0.35)^{3} = 0.0429

n = 4

P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.65)^{0}.(0.35)^{4} = 0.015

We need 4 stations to be 98% certain that an enemy plane flying over will be detected by at least one station.

(b) If seven stations are in use, what is the expected number of stations that will detect an enemy plane?

The expected number of sucesses of a binomial variable is given by:

E(x) = np

So when n = 7

E(x) = 7*(0.65) = 4.55

If seven stations are in use, the expected number of stations that will detect an enemy plane is 4.55.

Ira Lisetskai [31]
I found width=13.72 ft and length=43.72 ft.
Call one dimension of the rectangle x, the other will be x+30
You want an area A=600 ft^2 but A=length x width=x*(x+30)=600
Rearranging you get:
x^{2} +30x-600=0
solving this quadratic equation you get a negative solution and a positive one that gives your result.

4. A horizontal ellipse, centered at the origin has a major axis of 10 units and minor axis of 8 units. Write the
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

\frac{x^2}{25} +\frac{y^2}{16} =1

Step-by-step explanation:

For ellipses, the length of the major axis is represents as:

Major axis = 2a

where a is called the semi-major axis.

In this case since the major axis is equal to 10 units:

10=2a

solving for the semi-major axis a :

a=10/2\\a=5

and also the minor axis of an ellipse is represented as:

Minor axis = 2b

where b  is called the semi-minor axis.

Since the minor axis has a length of 8 units:

8=2b

solving for b:

b=8/2\\b=4

Now we can use the equation for an ellipse centered at the origin (0,0):

\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1

and substituting the values for a and b:

\frac{x^2}{5^2} +\frac{y^2}{4^2} =1

and finall we simplify the expression to get the equation of the ellipse:

\frac{x^2}{25} +\frac{y^2}{16} =1
