Answer:

b) 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The required probability is ...

(24 -20)/(36 -20) = 4/16 = 1/4 = 0.25

_____

<em>Comment on the attached graph</em>

The red line is the probability distribution function (pdf) for this uniform distribution. The green line is the cumulative distribution function (cdf) for this uniform distribution. It is the integral of the pdf.

The probability of interest is the value of the cdf at x=24. That value is 0.25, meaning the area under the pdf curve to the left of x=24 is 1/4 of the total area under the pdf curve. That proportion is what is calculated above.

Samples of emissions from three suppliers are classified for conformance to air-quality specifications. The results from 100 sam

Vlad [161]

Answer

$P(A) = 0.30$

$P(B) = 0.77$

$P(A\ n\ B) = 0.22$

$P(A\ u\ B) = 0.85$

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for proper data presentation

$n = 100$ --- Sample

A = Supplier 1

B = Conforms to specification

Solving (a): P(A)

Here, we only consider data in sample 1 row.

Here:

$Yes = 22$ and $No = 8$

$n(A) = Yes + No$

$n(A) = 22 + 8$

$n(A) = 30$

P(A) is then calculated as:

$P(A) = \frac{n(A)}{Sample}$

$P(A) = \frac{30}{100}$

$P(A) = 0.30$

Solving (b): P(B)

We only consider data in the Yes column.

Here:

$(1) = 22$ $(2) = 25$ and $(3) = 30$

$n(B) = (1) + (2) + (3)$

$n(B) = 22 + 25 + 30$

$n(B) = 77$

P(B) is then calculated as:

$P(B) = \frac{n(B)}{Sample}$

$P(B) = \frac{77}{100}$

$P(B) = 0.77$

Solving (c): P(A n B)

Here, we only consider the similar cell in the yes column and sample 1 row.

i.e. [Supplier 1][Yes]

This is represented as: n(A n B)

$n(A\ n\ B) = 22$

The probability is then calculated as:

$P(A\ n\ B) = \frac{n(A\ n\ B)}{Sample}$

$P(A\ n\ B) = \frac{22}{100}$

$P(A\ n\ B) = 0.22$

Solving (d): P(A u B)

This is calculated as:

$P(A\ u\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ n\ B)$

This gives:

$P(A\ u\ B) = \frac{30}{100} + \frac{77}{100} - \frac{22}{100}$

Take LCM

$P(A\ u\ B) = \frac{30+77-22}{100}$

$P(A\ u\ B) = \frac{85}{100}$

$P(A\ u\ B) = 0.85$

PlllZZZZZZZZ HELPPPPP

Answer:

x = 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Visualize the figure as a rectangle with width 4 and height 1 combined with a triangle with base 1 and height 1.

Next, use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Variables a and b represent the lengths of the legs, in this case 1 and 1, and variable c represents the length of the hypotenuse, in this case x.

1^2 + 1^2 = x^2

2 = x^2

x = 1.41421356237
