Johnson Chemicals is considering two options for its supplier portfolio. Option 1 uses two local suppliers. Each has a "unique-e

vent" risk of 5%, and the probability of a "superevent" that would disable both at the same time is estimated to be 1.5%. Option 2 uses two suppliers located in different countries. Each has a "unique-event" risk of 13%, and the probability of a "super-event" that would disable both at the same time is estimated to be 0.2%.
a) What is the probability that both suppliers will be disrupted using option 1?

b) What is the probability that both suppliers will be disrupted using option 2?

c) Which option would provide the lowest risk of a total shutdown

Answer:

a) P=0.0175

b) P=0.0189

Step-by-step explanation:

For both options we have to take into account that not only the chance of a "superevent" will disable both suppliers.

The other situation that will disable both is that both suppliers have their "unique-event" at the same time.

As they are, by definition, two independent events, we can calculate the probability of having both events at the same time as the product of both individual probabilities.

a) Then, the probability that both suppliers will be disrupted using option 1 is

P_1=P_{se}+P_{ue}^2=0.015+(0.05)^2=0.015+0.0025=0.0175

b) The probability that both suppliers will be disrupted using option 2:

P_2=P_{se}+P_{ue}^2=0.002+(0.13)^2=0.002+0.0169=0.0189

Pue = probability of a unique event

Pse = probability of a superevent

The line y=5x+b is tangent to the graph y=/x at the point P= (a,/a) Find P and determine b.
Naily [24]
P = (1/100 , 1/10)
b = 1/20
Equate both equations. Use the substitution y=/x (/ means square root). Obtain an equation in terms of y. 5y2 - y + b = 0 Use b2 - 4ac = 0 for tangent. You'll get the answer for b then replace in equation, overall 5y2 - y + 1/20 = 0. Use the quadratic formula to solve for y. You'll obtain y = 1/10 as answer. Using the substitution y=/x, x=y2, x = (1/10)2 = 1/100, /x = 1/10. 5y2 and (1/10)2 are ...to the square....5y to the power of 2.

There are 45 questions on allison's English test. The multiple choice questions are worth 2 points each, and the short answers a
Vladimir [108]
You can solve this problem by creating a system of equations and solving by substitution. This allows you to solve for one of the unknown values (in this case, the number of short answer and number of multiple choice) and you can then solve for both, if you would like.

The two variables in your equations standing in for these missing values represent the number of short answer (s) and the number of multiple choice questions (m).

First create an equation for the number of total questions on the test. The total number of multiple choice and short answer questions is 45:
m + s = 45
Then create an equation with these variables representing the number of points on the test. The point values for each question will be the variable coefficients (numbers that the variables are multiplied by in this problem).
2m + 5s = 120

Now you can take the first equation - since it is simpler, the variables don't have coefficients so it only requires subtraction to get one variable by itself - solve for one of the variables, and substitute the result into the second equation in place of that variable. You will then be able to solve for that variable!

First, solve for m in the first equation by moving the m to one side of the equals sign by itself. It then becomes 45 - s = m

Now put (45-s) into the second equation in place of m.

120 = 2(45-s) + 5s

Distribute the 2(45-s)

120 = 90 - 2s + 5s

Add the "s" expressions together. Subtract 90 from both sides.

30 = 3s

Divide by 3 and find that s = 10

There are 10 short answer questions on the test.

A factory makes 1200 shirts every 6 hours. The factory makes shirts for 9 hours each workday. Enter the fewest number of workday
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Every hour the factory makes 200 shirts. (1200/6)

Thus, every 9 hours the factory makes 1800 shirts.

To make 12,600 shirts, the factory will need to have at least 7 workdays.

(12600/1800) = 7
