One satellite is scheduled to be launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida, and another launching is scheduled for Vandenberg Air

Force Base in California. Let A denote the event that the Vandenberg launch goes off on schedule, and let B represent the event that the Cape Canaveral launch goes off on schedule. If A and B are independent events with P(A) > P(B), P(A ∪B) = 0.626, and P(A ∩B) =0.144.
Required:
Determine the values of P(A) and P(B).

Answer:

P(A) = 0.45

P(B) = 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P(A) > P(B)

P(A\ u\ B) = 0.626

P(A\ n\ B) = 0.144

Required

Find P(A) and P(B)

We have that:

P(A\ u\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ n\ B) --- (1)

and

P(A\ n\ B) = P(A) * P(B) --- (2)

The equations become:

P(A\ u\ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A\ n\ B) --- (1)

0.626 = P(A) + P(B) - 0.144

Collect like terms

P(A) + P(B) = 0.626 + 0.144

P(A) + P(B) = 0.770

Make P(A) the subject

P(A) = 0.770 - P(B)

P(A\ n\ B) = P(A) * P(B) --- (2)

0.144 = P(A) * P(B)

P(A) * P(B) = 0.144

Substitute: P(A) = 0.770 - P(B)

[0.770 - P(B)] * P(B) = 0.144

Open bracket

0.770P(B) - P(B)^2 = 0.144

Represent P(B) with x

0.770x - x^2 = 0.144

Rewrite as:

x^2 - 0.770x + 0.144 = 0

Expand

x^2 - 0.45x - 0.32x + 0.144 = 0

Factorize:

x[x - 0.45] - 0.32[x - 0.45]= 0

Factor out x - 0.45

[x - 0.32][x - 0.45]= 0

Split

x - 0.32= 0 \ or\ x - 0.45= 0

Solve for x

x = 0.32\ or\ x = 0.45

Recall that:

P(B) = x

So, we have:

P(B) = 0.32 \ or \ P(B) = 0.45

Recall that:

P(A) = 0.770 - P(B)

So, we have:

P(A) = 0.770 - 0.32 \ or\ P(A) =0.770 - 0.45

P(A) = 0.45 \ or\ P(A) =0.32

Since:

P(A) > P(B)

Then:

P(A) = 0.45

P(B) = 0.32

Normal or natural variations in the quality of production output that are due purely to chance are _____.
nydimaria [60]

Normal or natural variations in the quality of production output that are due purely to chance are common causes.

According to the statement

we have to tell about the that cause which effect the quality and production output in the normal and natural variation.

So, For this purpose, we know that the

Common cause variation is present when the control chart of a process measure shows a random pattern of variation with all points within the control limits. When a control chart shows common cause variation, a process measure is said to be in statistical control or stable.

And due to this cause there is a lot of effect on the natural variations in the quality of production output.

So, Normal or natural variations in the quality of production output that are due purely to chance are common causes.

Suppose a laboratory has a 30 g sample of polonium-210. The half-life of polonium-210 is about 138 days How many half-lives of p
user100 [1]
One Half-Life of polonium = 138 days
We have to find the number of half-lives that occur in 1104 days. For this we simply divide 1104 by 138.

Number of half-lives in 1104 days = 1104/138 = 8 half-lives

Thus, in 1104 days polonium-210 undergoes 8 half-lives i.e. it is halved 8 times.

Initial Amount of sample= 30 gram

The amount remaining after 8 half-lives will be = 30 x (0.5)⁸ = 0.1171875 grams.

This means, after 1104 days, 30 gram sample of polonium-210 will be reduced to 0.1171875 grams only.
