A certain brand of refrigerator has a useful life that is normally distributed with mean 10 years and standard deviation 3 years

. The useful lives of these refrigerators are independent. Calculate the probability that the total useful life of two randomly selected refrigerators will exceed 1.9 times the useful life of a third randomly selected refrigerator.

Answer: 0.55567

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A certain brand of refrigerator has a useful life that is normally distributed with mean 10 years and standard deviation 3 years. The useful lives of these refrigerators are independent.

i.e.

\mu=10\text{ years}\\\sigma=3\text{ years}

Let X_1 and X_2 are two randomly selected refrigerator's life whose sum will exceed third selected refrigerator X_3 .

So that, X =X_1+X_2-1.9\times X_3

Mean =E(X_1)+E(X_2)-E(X_3)=10+10-1.9\times10 =1

Standard deviation =\sqrt{(Var(X_1)+Var(X_1)+Var(X_1))}

=\sqrt{(3^2+3^2+(1.9\times3)^2)}

=7.1056315694

Z-score : z=\dfrac{X-E[x]}{\sqrt{Var[x]}}=\dfrac{0-1}{7.0156315694}\approx-0.14

Now , The  probability that the total useful life of two(i..e n=2) randomly selected refrigerators will exceed 1.9 times the useful life of a third randomly selected refrigerator would be :-

P(Z>-0.14)=P(Z

Hence, the required probability is 0.55567.

The one-time fling! Have you ever purchased an article of clothing (dress, sports jacket, etc.), worn the item once to a party,
rjkz [21]

Answer:

a)  0.2725

b)  0.7275

c)  0.8948

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial distribution probability problem. The formula is:

P(x)=\frac{n!}{(n-x)!x!}p^{x}q^{n-x}

Where

n is the number of trials [here we are taking 8 person, so n = 8]

x is what we are looking for [in the problem]

p is the probability of success [ 15%, so p = 0.15

q is the probability of failure [q = 1-p = 0.85]

Now,

a)

We are looking for "no one" did fling, so x = 0

Let's put into formula and find out the probability:

P(x=0)=\frac{8!}{(8-0)!0!}(0.15)^{0}(0.85)^{8}\\P(x=0)=0.2725

So, the probability that no one has done a one-time fling is 0.2725

b)

Atleast 1 person means P(x ≥ 1).

This can be found by:

P(x ≥ 1) = 1 - P(x=0) = 1 - 0.2725 = 0.7275

THus, Probability that at least one person has done a one-time fling is 0.7275

c)

No more than 2 people means P (x≤2).

This is essentially

P ( x ≤ 2 ) = P(x=0) + P(x=1) + P(x=2)

P ( x = 0 ) is found in part (a), which is 0.2725

P (x = 1 ) and P(x=2) can be found using formula:

P(x=1)=\frac{8!}{(8-1)!1!}(0.15)^{1}(0.85)^{7}\\P(x=1)=0.3847

and

P(x=2)=\frac{8!}{(8-2)!2!}(0.15)^{2}(0.85)^{6}\\P(x=2)=0.2376

Thus,

P ( x ≤ 2 ) = P(x=0) + P(x=1) + P(x=2) = 0.2725 + 0.3847 + 0.2376 = 0.8948

What is rational number and arithmetic number​
Oduvanchick [21]

\huge \mathtt \blue{answer}

Here, “p” is a numerator and “q” is a denominator. The examples of rational numbers are 6/5, 10/7, and so on. The rational number is represented using the letter “Q”. Like real numbers, the arithmetic operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are applicable to the rational numbers.

 b] Cosine
cos x=adjacent/hypotensue
adjacent=24
hypotenuse=25
cos x=24/25

Tangent
Tan x=opposite/adajcent
opposite=7
adjacent=24
thus
tan x=7/24
