Mr. Lafond is building a rectangular dog run in his backyard. He uses 86 feet of fencing to enclose the dog run. The dog run is

25 feet long. How wide is the dog run?

Here,

Perimeter (P)=86 feet

Length (l)=25 feet

Let, width(b)= x feet

Then,

Perimeter= 2(l+b)

86=2(25+x)

43=25+x

x=18

Hence, required width is 18 feet...

Select the measures of the angles of a triangle whose angles have measures in the ratio 6:8:10

morpeh [17]

Answer:

45, 60, 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the angles are 6:8:10

Multiply by x to get the angle measures

6x, 8x,10x

We know the sum of the angles is 180 for a triangle

6x+8x+10x = 180

Combine like terms

24x = 180

Divide each side by 24

24x/24 = 180/24

x =7.5

Each angle is

6x = 6(7.5) =45

8x = 8(7.5) =60

10x = 10*7.5 = 75

Human visual inspection of solder joints on printed circuit boards can be very subjective. Part of the problem stems from the nu

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

a

The probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by neither of the two inspectors is $P(A' n B' ) = 0.8855$

b

The probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by inspector B but not by inspector A is $P(A' n B) =0.0403$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is $n_s = 10000$

The number of outcome for inspector A is $n__{A}} = 742$

The number of outcome for inspector B is $n__{B}} = 745$

The number of joints judged defective by both inspector is $n(A u B) = 1145$

The the probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by neither of the two inspectors is mathematically represented as

$P(A' n B' ) = 1 - P(A u B)$

Now

$P(A\ u \ B) = \frac{n(Au B)}{n_s }$

substituting values

$P(A\ u \ B) = \frac{1145}{ 10 000 }$

So

$P(A' n B' ) = 1 - \frac{1145}{10 000}$

$P(A' n B' ) = 0.8855$

the probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by inspector B but not by inspector A is mathematically represented as

$P(A' n B) = P(A \ u \ B) -P(A)$

Now

$P(A) = \frac{n__{A}}{n_s}$

substituting values

$P(A) = \frac{742}{10 000}$

So

$P(A' n B) = \frac{1145}{10 000} - \frac{742}{10 000}$

$P(A' n B) =0.0403$

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding it, so this is basically just negative 8 plus 6, which is -2. Don't know who was right though, you kinda left that part of the question out.
