Answer:

Part 1) $x=6.6\ units$

Part 2) $DE=16.2\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the value of x

we know that

Triangles CDF and FDE are similar

therefore

The ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

$CD/FD=FD/DE$

$\frac{5}{9}=\frac{9}{2x+3} \\ \\5*(2x+3)=9*9\\ \\10x+15=81\\ \\10x= 81-15\\ \\10x=66\\ \\ x=6.6\ units$

Part 2) Find the length of DE

$DE=2x+3$

substitute the value of x

$DE=2(6.6)+3=16.2\ units$

A pharmaceutical company receives large shipments of ibuprofen tablets and uses an acceptance sampling plan. This plan randomly

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

0.7208 = 72.08% probability that this whole shipment will be accepted.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each tablet, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it meets the required specifications, or it does not. The probability of a tablet meeting the required specifications is independent of any other tablet, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability 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.

4% rate of defects

This means that $p = 0.04$

26 tablets

This means that $n = 26$

What is the probability that this whole shipment will be accepted?

Probability that at most one tablet does not meet the specifications, which is:

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

Thus

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{26,0}.(0.04)^{0}.(0.96)^{26} = 0.3460$

$P(X = 1) = C_{26,1}.(0.04)^{1}.(0.96)^{25} = 0.3748$

Then

$P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.3460 + 0.3748 = 0.7208$

0.7208 = 72.08% probability that this whole shipment will be accepted.

If your teacher tells you to do questions 38 through 51 in your math book for homework, how many questions is that?

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

It would be 13 questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you had to do questions 31 through 51 for homework it would be 13 because...

51 - 38 = 13

B.)

{(2,2), (3,2), (4,2), (4,4), (5,2), (5,4), (6,2), (6,4), (6,6)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space :

Die roll, then number of coin tosses based on the outcome of the die roll, then number of heada from the toss(es) is recorded along with the outcome of the die roll.

{(1, 0), (1, 1), (2,0), (2,1), (2, 2), (3,0), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (4, 0), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (5,0), (5,1),(5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (6,0), (6,1),(6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)}

Event that the total number of head is even:

{(2,2), (3,2), (4,2), (4,4), (5,2), (5,4), (6,2), (6,4), (6,6)}
