7. A machine produces memory sticks of varying lengths, distributed uniformly between 3mm and 13 mm. Memory sticks longer than 1

0 mm do not meet the design criteria and must be scrapped. Calculate the proportion of memory sticks that will be scrapped, which is the probability that memory stickers longer than 10 mm will be scrapped.

Answer:

The proportion of memory sticks that will be scrapped is 0.3 = 30%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.  

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

P(c \leq X \leq d) = \frac{d - c}{b - a}

The probability of finding a value above x is:

P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b - a}

Distributed uniformly between 3mm and 13 mm.

This means that a = 3, b = 13

Calculate the proportion of memory sticks that will be scrapped:

P(X > 10) = \frac{13 - 10}{13 - 3} = \frac{3}{10} = 0.3

The proportion of memory sticks that will be scrapped is 0.3 = 30%.

Area of aqua: A = bh/2 = (13.4cm) (4cm)/2 = 26.8cm2

Total area trapezoid: A = (a+b/2)h = ((13.4cm + 18cm)/2) 4cm = 62.8cm2

Area of purple = Total area - area of
aqua = (62.8cm2) - (26.8cm2) = 36cm2

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s).
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

If b is 3, x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(3x-5)=16

use distributive property

-6x+10=16

take 10 away from both sides

-6x=6

divide both sides by -6

x=-1
