Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the time taken to reach 12,000 feet = x

Distance traveled in 1 minute = 2000 ft

Distance traveled in 'x' minute = 2000 * x = 2000x

30,000 - 2000x = 12000

Add 2000x to both sides

30,000 = 12000 + 2000x

Now subtract 12,000 from both sides

30000 - 12 000 = 2000x

2000x =  18 000

Divide both sides  by 2000

x = 18000/2000

x = 9 minutes

The Hawkins Company randomly samples 10 items from every large batch before the batch is packaged and shipped. According to the
agasfer [191]

Answer:

0.9138 = 91.38%

Step-by-step explanation:

For each item, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of an item being defective is independent of other items. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

10 items

This means that n = 10

5 percent of the items shipped can be defective.

This means that p = 0.05

Probability that a batch that meets the contract requirements will be shipped without further inspection

Probability of 1 or fewer defects.

So

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.05)^{0}.(0.95)^{10} = 0.5987

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.05)^{1}.(0.95)^{9} = 0.3151

P(X \leq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.5987 + 0.3151 = 0.9138

So the answer is:

0.9138 = 91.38%

Vertical angles are the same measurement and are opposite each other.
