Set up and solve the following using dimensional analysis.

Softa [21]

1). Multiply (5400 inches) by (1 foot / 12 inch) then by (1 mile / 5280 foot).

(See explanation at the bottom)

= (5400 inch) x (1 foot / 12 inch) x (1 mile / 5280 foot)

= (5400 x 1 x 1 / 12 x 5280) (inch - foot - mile / inch - foot)

= 0.0852 mile

2). Multiply (16 week) by (7 day/week) then by (24 hour/day)
then by (60 minute/hour) then by (60 sec/minute).

3). Multiply (54 yards) by (3 foot/yard) then by (1 meter/3.28 foot)
and then by (1000 mm/meter)

4). Multiply (36 cm/second) by (3600 second/hour) then by (1 meter/100 cm)
then by (1 mile/1609.3 meter).

5). Look up how many grams in a pound ('P')
Look up how many mL in a gallon ('G')

Multiply (1.09 g/mL) by ( 1 pound/ P gram) then by (1 gallon/ G mL)

6). Multiply (32 foot/sec) by (1 meter / 3.28 foot) then by (60 sec/minute).

Each time I told you to multiply by something, it was always a fraction
where the numerator and denominator are equal, like (60 seconds/minute)
or (1 foot / 12 inch). Since the top and bottom of the fraction are equal, the
value of the fraction is ' 1 ' , and multiplying by it doesn't change the value,
it only changes the units ... that's what this whole exercise is about.
When you multiply, KEEP the units in the product, and then, after you multiply, you can 'cancel' units out of the top and bottom of the product.
Like if you have 'feet' on top and bottom, just cross them out. When you're done, if you did it correctly, the last unit you end up with will be the one you want.

A manufacturer of Christmas light bulbs knows that 10% of these bulbs are defective. It is known that light bulbs are defective

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

(a) P(X $\leq$ 20) = 0.9319

(b) Expected number of defective light bulbs = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a manufacturer of Christmas light bulbs knows that 10% of these bulbs are defective. It is known that light bulbs are defective independently. A box of 150 bulbs is selected at random.

Firstly, the above situation can be represented through binomial distribution, i.e.;

$P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r} p^{r} (1-p)^{2} ;x=0,1,2,3,....$

where, n = number of samples taken = 150

r = number of success

p = probability of success which in our question is % of bulbs that

are defective, i.e. 10%

Now, we can't calculate the required probability using binomial distribution because here n is very large(n > 30), so we will convert this distribution into normal distribution using continuity correction.

So, Let X = No. of defective bulbs in a box

Mean of X, $\mu$ = $n \times p$ = $150 \times 0.10$ = 15

Standard deviation of X, $\sigma$ = $\sqrt{np(1-p)}$ = $\sqrt{150 \times 0.10 \times (1-0.10)}$ = 3.7

So, X ~ N( $\mu = 15, \sigma^{2} = 3.7^{2})$

Now, the z score probability distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

(a) Probability that this box will contain at most 20 defective light bulbs is given by = P(X $\leq$ 20) = P(X < 20.5) ---- using continuity correction

P(X < 20.5) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{20.5-15}{3.7}$ ) = P(Z < 1.49) = 0.9319

(b) Expected number of defective light bulbs found in such boxes, on average is given by = E(X) = $n \times p$ = $150 \times 0.10$ = 15.

A survey is sent out to 500 people asking questions related to the link between religion and sexual behavior at a young age. The

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the the identities of the survey takers were kept secret, it would be anonymous. If it wasn't anonymous, then people would know who took the survey.

Since the survey results were released online for analyses, it is not confidential. If it were to be confidential, then the survey distributors would have kept the results to themseles.
