Computers require fans to keep them from overheating. Let T be the random variable representing the lifetime of a particular mak

e of fan in hours. Assume that T follows an exponential distribution with parameter λ = 0.0003. (a) Find the proportion of computer fans which will give at least 10,000 hours of service. (b) If the fan is redesigned so that exponential lifetime distribution now has parameter λ = 0.00035, would you expect more fans or fewer fans to live for at least 10,000 hours?

Answer:

a) 4.98% of computer fans which will give at least 10,000 hours of service.

b) 3.02% of computer fans which would give at least 10,000 hours of service, that is, fewer fans living for at least 10,000 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}

In which \mu = \frac{1}{m} is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

P(X < x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx

Which has the following solution:

P(X < x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = \lambda = 0.0003

(a) Find the proportion of computer fans which will give at least 10,000 hours of service.

Either it gives less 10,000 hours of service, or it gives at least 10,000. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X < 10000) + P(X \geq 10000) = 1

We want P(X \geq 10000). So

P(X \geq 10000) = 1 - P(X < 10000)

P(X < 10000) = 1 - e^{-0.0003*10000} = 0.9502

P(X \geq 10000) = 1 - 0.9502 = 0.0498

4.98% of computer fans which will give at least 10,000 hours of service.

(b) If the fan is redesigned so that exponential lifetime distribution now has parameter λ = 0.00035, would you expect more fans or fewer fans to live for at least 10,000 hours?

Now \mu = \lambda = 0.00035

P(X \geq 10000) = 1 - P(X < 10000)

P(X < 10000) = 1 - e^{-0.00035*10000} = 0.9698

P(X \geq 10000) = 1 - 0.9698 = 0.0302

3.02% of computer fans which would give at least 10,000 hours of service, that is, fewer fans living for at least 10,000 hours.

Pavel [41]
For this case we have the following equations:
 y = 60x + 40
 y = 50x + 80
 Equaling both equations we have:
 60x + 40 = 50x + 80
 From here, we clear the value of x:
 60x - 50x = 80 - 40
 10x = 40
 x = 40/10
 x = 4 weeks
 Substituting x = 4 in any of the equations we have:
 y = 60 (4) + 40
 y = 240 + 40
 y = 280 $

Given circle P with arc AE=53, arc BA=68 and arc CB=72 match the following angles with their corresponding measurements
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
From the diagram;
1. Angle 2 = ADB+BDH
                                           = arcAB/2 +90 
                                           = 34 +90 
                                           = 124°

2. Angle 4= 90°,
Reason ; the angle between a tangent and a radius is equal to 90. A tangent is a line that touches the circumference of a circle once even if prolonged.

3. Angle 5 = 90 -BDC (note the acr subtends twice the angle it subtends on the circumference to the center.
             = 90-arc BC/2
             = 90-36
              = 54°

4. Angle 6 = BFD
             = 180-ADB-FBD
             = 180-AB/2-DE/2
             But DE = 180 -121 = 59
Therefore, BFD = 180 -34-29.5
             = 116.5°

5. Angle 1 = 180- BFD (angles on a straight line add up to 180°)
              = 180- 116.5
              = 63.5°
           

6. Angle 3 = 180 -(ADB+BFD)
             = 180 -(34 +116.5)
             =  180- 150.5
             = 29.5°
similarly angle 3 = DE/2 = 59/2 = 29.5°

7. Angle 8= 90, because BD is diameter;
 angles subtended by a diameter to the circumference is always a right angle (90°)


8.Angle 7 =  BE
               but BE= AB+AE
                          = 68+ 53
                          = 121°

A square has a side of 6.25 feet. What is the area in square feet? Round to the correct significant digits.
Hunter-Best [27]

The solution to this question is 39.0625.

This is because you will need to multiply the width by height. As this is in square feet it will be irrespective of which two sides we choose.

The calculation that will need to be done is the following :

6.25ft X 6.25ft which will equal 39.0625.

6.25 has three significant digits so rounding 39.0625 off to three significant digits is 39.1 square feet

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer with explanation:

→π is an Irrational Number.

→Decimal Representation of π is non terminating non repeating.

\pi=\frac{\text{Circumference of Circle}}{\text{Diameter}}\\\\\pi =3.14\\\\ 5\pi =5 \times 3.14=15.70

⇒5 π =15.70
