hammer [34]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected component needs rework when it came from line A₁ is 0.3623.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three different assembly lines are: A₁, A₂ and A₃.

Denote R as the event that a component needs rework.

It is given that:

$P (R|A_{1})=0.05\\P (R|A_{2})=0.08\\P (R|A_{3})=0.10\\P (A_{1})=0.50\\P (A_{2})=0.30\\P (A_{3})=0.20$

Compute the probability that a randomly selected component needs rework as follows:

$P(R)=P(R|A_{1})P(A_{1})+P(R|A_{2})P(A_{2})+P(R|A_{3})P(A_{3})\\=(0.05\times0.50)+(0.08\times0.30)+(0.10\times0.20)\\=0.069$

Compute the probability that a randomly selected component needs rework when it came from line A₁ as follows:

$P (A_{1}|R)=\frac{P(R|A_{1})P(A_{1})}{P(R)}=\frac{0.05\times0.50}{0.069} =0.3623$

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected component needs rework when it came from line A₁ is 0.3623.

Point A is located at (-2, -6) and is translated 4 units up. What are the coordinates of point A'?

gavmur [86]

Its A because the vertical line is the y-axis so 4+-6 is -2 and the x-axis would remain the same. #TeamAlvaxic

Suppose you want to represent a triangle with sides 12 feet, 16 feet, and 18 feet on a drawing where 1 inch = 2 feet. How long s

slega [8]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. 6, 8 and 9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information provided for answering the questions properly:

Length of the sides of the triangle = 12 feet, 16 feet and 18 feet.

Scale used : 1 inch = 2 feet.

2. How long should the sides of the triangle be in inches?

For calculating the length of the sides of the triangle in the draw, we use the scale this way:

1st Side = 12 feet

12 feet/2 = 6 inches

2nd Side = 16 feet

16 feet/2 = 8 inches

3rd Side = 18 feet

18 feet/2 = 9 inches

The correct answer is C. 6, 8 and 9
