The automatic opening device of a military cargo parachute has been designed to open when the parachute is 135 m above the groun

d. Suppose opening altitude actually has a normal distribution with mean value 135 and standard deviation 35 m. Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m. What is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes? (Give your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes is 0.4215

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider Q to be the opening altitude.

The mean μ = 135 m

The standard deviation = 35 m

The probability that the equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m can be computed as follows:

P(Q

P(Q

P(Q

P(Q

If we represent R to be the number of parachutes which have equipment damage to the payload out of 5 parachutes dropped.

The probability of success = 0.1587

the number of independent parachute n = 5

the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes can be computed as:

P(R ≥ 1) = 1 - P(R < 1)

P(R ≥ 1) = 1 - P(R = 0)

The probability mass function of the binomial expression is:

P(R ≥ 1) = 1 - (^5_0)(0.1587)^0(1-0.1587)^{5-0}

P(R ≥ 1) =1 - (\dfrac{5!}{(5-0)!})(0.1587)^0(1-0.1587)^{5-0}

P(R ≥ 1) = 1 - 0.5785

P(R ≥ 1) = 0.4215

Hence, the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes is 0.4215

What is the diameter of a hemisphere with a volume of 2233\text{ cm}^3,2233 cm 3 , to the nearest tenth of a centimeter?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The diameter of the hemisphere is 20.4 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of an hemisphere is given by:

V = \frac{2 \pi r^{3}}{3}

In this problem, we have that:

V = 2233

So

\frac{2 \pi r^{3}}{3} = 2233

2\pi r^{3} = 3*2233

r^{3} = \frac{3*2233}{2\pi}

r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{3*2233}{2\pi}}

r = 10.2

The radius is 10.2 centimeters.

The diameter is double the radius. So:

2*10.2 = 20.4

The diameter of the hemisphere is 20.4 centimeters.

Find the length of arc XPY. Leave your answer in terms of pi.​
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

2π m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Arc XY is 1/4 of the circumference of the circle

= 1/4 * 2π * r

= 1/2 π * 4

= 2π m.

Simplify the expression by combining like terms if possible. If not possible select already simplified. 4a^2+2a+4a^2-5
vichka [17]
So the expression is: 4 a^{2} + 2a + 4 a^{2} - 5

You can combine like terms, which are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. That means you can combine the two 4 a^{2}. 4 a^{2} + 4 a^{2} = 8 a^{2} The other terms can't be combined.

Your final answer should be 8 a^{2} +2a-5.
