An aircraft emergency locator transmitter (ELT) is a device designed to transmit a signal in the case of a crash. The ACME Manuf

acturing Company makes 70% of the ELTs, the B. BUNNY Company makes 25% of them, and the W. E. COYOTE Company makes the other 5%. The ELTs made by ACME have a 3.5% rate of defects, the B. BUNNY ELTs have a 5% rate of defects, and the W. E. COYOTE ELTs have a 8% rate of defects (which helps to explain why W. E. COYOTE has the lowest market share)
a) If a locator is randomly selected from the general population of all locators, find the probability that it was made by the ACME Manufacturing Company.b) If a randomly selected locator is then tested and is found to be defective, find the probability that it was made by the ACME Manufacturing Company.

Answer:

a) P(ACME) = 0.7

b) P(ACME/D) = 0.5976

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account that ACME manufacturing company makes 70% of the ELTs, if a locator is randomly selected from the general population, the probability that it was made by ACME manufacturing Company is 0.7. So:

P(ACME) = 0.7

Then, the probability P(ACME/D) that a randomly selected locator was made by ACME given that the locator is defective is calculated as:

P(ACME/D) = P(ACME∩D)/P(D)

Where the probability that a locator is defective is:

P(D) = P(ACME∩D) + P(B. BUNNY∩D) + P(W. E. COYOTE∩D)

So, the probability P(ACME∩D) that a locator was made by ACME and is defective is:

P(ACME∩D) = 0.7*0.035 = 0.0245

Because 0.035 is the rate of defects in ACME

At the same way, P(B. BUNNY∩D) and P(W. E. COYOTE∩D) are equal to:

P(B. BUNNY∩D) = 0.25*0.05 = 0.0125

P(W. E. COYOTE∩D) = 0.05*0.08 = 0.004

Finally, P(D) and P(ACME/D) is equal to:

P(D) = 0.0245 + 0.0125 + 0.004 = 0.041

P(ACME/D) = 0.0245/0.041 = 0.5976

The number of users of a cell tower in a small, developing town increased by a factor of 1.5 every year from 2010 to 2019. The f
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement, we are given a function that shows the number of cell tower users f(x) after x years, from the year 2010 to 2019, so, to solve the problem, we need to remember that the domain is equal to all the values that the variable (x for this case) could take making the function itself exist.

So, the given function is a function of years, and we know that "x" represents the years from 2010 (starting value), to 2019 (ending value) meaning that the domain is located between those two values.

Hence, the correct option is:

B. 0 ≤ x ≤ 5,000

inysia [295]
L = w - 5
2*l + 2*w = 26
2*(w - 5) + 2*w = 26
2w - 10 + 2w = 26
4w = 36
w = 9
l = w - 5
l = 9 - 5
l = 4

Final Answer:
The rectangle is 4cm long and 9cm wide.
