Before the distribution of certain statistical software, every fourth compact disk (CD) is testedfor accuracy. The testing proce

ss consists of running four independent programs and checking the results. The failure rates for the four testing programs are, respectively, 0.01, 0.03, 0.02, and 0.01.a.(4pts) What is the probability that a CD was tested and failed any test

Answer:

P(T∩E) = 0.017

Step-by-step explanation:

Since every fourth CD is tested. Thus if T is the event that represents 4 disks being tested,

P(T) = 1/4 = 0.25

Let Fi represent event of failure rate. So from the question,

P(F1) = 0.01 ; P(F2) = 0.03 ; P(F3) =0.02 ; P(F4) = 0.01

Also Let F'i represent event of success rate. And we have;

P(F'1) = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99 ; P(F'2) = 1 - 0.03 = 0.97; P(F'3) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98; P(F'4) = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99

Since all programs run independently, the probability that all programs will run successfully is;

P(All programs to run successfully) =

P(F'1) x P(F'2) x P(F'3) x P(F'4) =

0.99 x 0.97 x 0.98 x 0.97 = 0.932

Now, that all 4 programs failed will be = 1 - 0.932 = 0.068

Let E be denote that the CD fails the test. Thus P(E) = 0.068

Now, since testing and CD's defection are independent events, the probability that one CD was tested and failed will be =P(T∩E) = P(T) x P(E)= 0.25 x 0.068 = 0.017

For firework launched from height 100ft with initial velocity 150ft/sec, equation made is correct

(a) equation will be $h(t) = -16t^2+150t+100$

(b) Now we have to see when it will land. At land or ground level height h will be equal to 0. So simply plug 0 in h place in equation made in part (a)

$0 = -16t^2 + 150t + 100$

Now we have to solve this quadratic. We will use quadratic formula method to solve this equation.

$t = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

a = -16, b = 150, c = 100.

Plugging these values in quadratic formula we get

$t = \frac{-150 \pm \sqrt{150^2-4(-16)(100)}}{2(-16)}$

$t = \frac{-150 \pm \sqrt{22500+6400}}{-32}$

$t = \frac{-150 \pm \sqrt{28900}}{-32}$

$t = \frac{-150+170}{-32} = \frac{20}{-32} = -0.625$

time cannot be negative so we will drop this answer

then $t = \frac{-150-170}{-32} = \frac{-320}{-32} = 10$

So 10 seconds is the answer for this

(c) To make table simply plug various value for t like t =0, 2, 4, 6, 8 till 10. Plug values in equation mad in part (a) and find h value for each t as shown

For t =0 seconds, $h = -16(0)^2+150(0)+100 = 100 feet$

For t =2 seconds, $h = -16(2)^2+150(2)+100 =336 feet$

For t =4 seconds, $h = -16(4)^2+150(4)+100 = 444 feet$

For t =6 seconds, $h = -16(6)^2+150(6)+100 = 424 feet$

For t =8 seconds, $h = -16(8)^2+150(8)+100 = 276 feet$

For t =10 seconds, $h = -16(10)^2+150(10)+100 = 0 feet$

(d) Axis of symmetry is given by formula

$x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

$t = \frac{-150}{2(-16)} =\frac{-150}{-32} = 4.6875$

t = 4.6875 is axis of symmetry line

(e) x-coordinate of vertex is again given by formula

$x = \frac{-b}{2a}$

so t = 4.6875

then to find y coordinate we will plug this value of t as 4.6875 in equation made in part (a)

For t =4.6875, $h = -16(4.6875)^2+150(4.6875)+100 = 451.563$

so vertex is at (4.6875, 451.563)

(f) As the firework is launched so in starting time is t=0, we cannot have time before t=0 (negative values) practically. Also we cannnot have firework going down into the ground so we cannot have h value negative physically.

The Gaineys and the Arnolds are saving money for a trip to Utah to go snowboarding. The Arnolds are going to save a nickel on th

Debora [2.8K]

Write a recursive and explicit formula for each option.

The Arnolds

Save a nickel on the first day of the month and then double the amount each day for a month

=> a1 =0.05

=> a2 = a1* 2 = 0.05*2

=> a3 = a2*2 = a1* 2*2

..............................................

=>recursive an = $a_{n-1} *2$

=> explicit an = 0.05* $2^{n-1}$

The Gaineys

Start their savings by saving $10 on the first day and then $10 each day of the month

=> a1 = 10

=> a2 = a1 + 10 = 20

=> a3 = a2 +10 = 20 +10 =30

........................................................

=> recursive an = $a_{n-1} +10$

=> explicit an = 10 + 10( n-1)

Hope it will find you well.
