We are given with two distances: 5,880,000,000,000 miles and 15.8 light-years. we convert first the light-years distance through the speed of light : 3 x 108 m/s. v = d/t; d = 3x10 8 m/s * 15.8 light years * 31536000 s = 1.4948 x1017 m = 9.28829 x 1013 miles. The difference thus is 8.70029 x 1013 miles

Scale of a model airplane to the actual airplane is 1 inch equals 10 feet. How many times longer the actual plane is than the mo

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

120 times

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to find a qunatity is how many times as other quantity, we have to divide the large one by the small one (remember, same units).

Let's make both into inches.

We have 1 inch [model]

also

10 feet * 12 = 120 inches

Thus, we can say:

120/1 = 120 times

So, Actual Plane is 120 times than model airplane

The thickness of a flange on an aircraft component is uniformly distributed between 0.95 and 1.05 millimeters. (a) Determine the

maxonik [38]

Answer:

a) 0.5 = 50% of flanges exceed 1 millimeter.

b) A thickness of 0.96 millimeters is exceeded by 90% of the flanges

Step-by-step explanation:

A distribution is called uniform if each outcome has the same probability of happening.

The uniform distributon has two bounds, a and b, and the probability of finding a value higher than x is given by:

$P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}$

The thickness of a flange on an aircraft component is uniformly distributed between 0.95 and 1.05 millimeters.

This means that $a = 0.95, b = 1.05$

(a) Determine the proportion of flanges that exceeds 1.00 millimeters.

$P(X > 1) = \frac{1.05 - 1}{1.05 - 0.95} = \frac{0.05}{0.1} = 0.5$

0.5 = 50% of flanges exceed 1 millimeter.

(b) What thickness is exceeded by 90% of the flanges?

This is x for which:

$P(X > x) = 0.9$

So

$\frac{1.05 - x}{1.05 - 0.95} = 0.9$

$1.05 - x = 0.9*0.1$

$x = 1.05 - 0.9*0.1$

$x = 0.96$

A thickness of 0.96 millimeters is exceeded by 90% of the flanges
