Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

L.C.M. of 5,2=10

so it should be of dimensions 10×10×10

it should have 5 cuboids in first row.

then it will make a cuboid 5×10×5

5 cuboids in the second row on top of first row .

Then it will make 5×10×10 cuboid

To make 10×10×10

double the cuboids to make the length=10 and height=10..

so in all 20 cuboids are needed.

2 rows of 5 cuboids on the floor and 2 rows of 5 cuboids on the top.

in all 10 cuboids of dimensions 5×2×5

so 9 more cuboids are needed to make a c

Consider writing onto a computer disk and then sending it through a certifier that counts the number of missing pulses. Suppose

Furkat [3]

Answer:

a) 0.164 = 16.4% probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse

b) 0.017 = 1.7% probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses

c) 0.671 = 67.1% probability that neither contains a missing pulse

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the Poisson distribution and the binomial distribution(for item c).

Poisson distribution:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}
$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

$
e = 2.71828$ is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given interval.

Binomial 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 combinations 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.

Poisson mean:

$\mu = 0.2$

a. What is the probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse?

One disk, so Poisson.

This is P(X = 1).

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.2}*0.2^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.164
$

0.164 = 16.4% probability that a disk has exactly one missing pulse

b. What is the probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses?

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}
$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.2}*0.2^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.819$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.2}*0.2^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.164
$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.819 + 0.164 = 0.983$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.983 = 0.017$

0.017 = 1.7% probability that a disk has at least two missing pulses

c. If two disks are independently selected, what is the probability that neither contains a missing pulse?

Two disks, so binomial with n = 2.

A disk has a 0.819 probability of containing no missing pulse, and a 1 - 0.819 = 0.181 probability of containing a missing pulse, so $p = 0.181$

We want to find P(X = 0).

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.181)^{0}.(0.819)^{2} = 0.671$

0.671 = 67.1% probability that neither contains a missing pulse

A garden table and a bench cost $688 combined. The garden table costs $62 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Savatey [412]

If the bench costs x dollars we have the equation
x + x - 62 = 688
2x = 750
x = $375

The bench cost $375

Look at thetriangles diagram.<br> The value of x is ___ °

NemiM [27]

By solving a linear equation we will see that the value of x is 10.

<h3></h3><h3>How to find the value of x?</h3>

Remember that for any triangle, the sum of all internal angles is always equal to 180°.

Here only look at triangle BCD, we know that:

m∠DBC = m∠ABC = 3x

m∠BCD = m∠ACB + m∠ABD = 2x + 65°

m∠ADC = 65°

Now we can write the linear equation as:

3x + 2x + 65° + 65° = 180°

5x + 130° = 180°

5x = 180° - 130°

5x = 50°

x = 50°/5 = 10°

The value of x is 10.
