The ideal width of a safety belt strap for a certain automobile is 5 cm. An actual width can vary by at most 0.35 cm. Write and

notsponge [240]

Answer:

$4.65\leq x\leq 5.35$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual width of belt be x

we are given that the ideal width of safety belt strap is 5 cm

So, Difference between actual and ideal = (x-5)cm

We are also given that An actual width can vary by at most 0.35 cm.

So, The difference between actual and ideal width should be less than or equal to 0.35 cm

So, $|x-5|\leq 0.35$

We know

$x-5\leq 0.35$ and $x-5\geq -0.35$

$x\leq 0.35+5$ and $x\geq -0.35+5$

$x\leq 5.35$ and $x\geq 4.65$

So, $4.65\leq x\leq 5.35$

Hence the range of acceptable widths is $4.65\leq x\leq 5.35$

Five men and 5 women are ranked according to their scores on an examination. Assume that no two scores are alike and all 10! pos

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

$P(X=1)=\frac{1}{2}\\P(X=2)=\frac{5}{18}\\P(X=3)=\frac{5}{36}\\P(X=4)=\frac{5}{84}\\P(X=5)=\frac{5}{252}\\P(X=6)=\frac{1}{252} \\P(X>6)=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the following event :

X : ''Highest ranking achieved by a woman''

There are five men and five women so the lowest ranking possible is 6, this means that all five men achieved a better ranking than all five women.

In terms of the variable :

X can assume the following values :

$X=1\\X=2\\X=3\\X=4\\X=5\\X=6$

⇒ $P(X=7)=0\\P(X=8)=0\\P(X=9)=0\\P(X=10)=0$

⇒ $P(X>6)=0$

Now let's calculate the probability function for X

$P(X=1)=\frac{(5)(9!)}{(10!)}=0.5=\frac{1}{2}$

We write on the denominator the total ways to arrange ten different persons in a line. This number is 10!

On the numerator we write the total cases in which the first person is a woman ⇒ (5).(9!)

Because they are five different women and when you pick one of then they are 9! ways to arrange the 9 remaining persons

Following this logic, we continue calculating the probability function :

$P(X=2)=\frac{(5)(5)(8!)}{(10!)}=\frac{5}{18}$

Again : Five different ways to choose between the five men in the first position.Then, 5 different ways to choose between the five women.And finally, 8! ways to arrange the remaining persons

$P(X=3)=\frac{(5)(4)(5)(7!)}{(10!)}=\frac{5}{36}$

Here we have : five different ways to choose between five men.Four different ways to choose between the four remaining men.Five different ways to choose between the five women for the third position and finally 7! ways to arrange the remaining persons.

$P(X=4)=\frac{(5)(4)(3)(5)(6!)}{(10!)}=\frac{5}{84}$

$P(X=5)=\frac{(5)(4)(3)(2)(5)(5!)}{(10!)}=\frac{5}{252}$

$P(X=6)=\frac{(5)(4)(3)(2)(1)(5)(4!)}{(10!)}=\frac{1}{252}$

Kevin has mowed 40% of the lawn. If he has been mowing for 20 minutes, how long will it take him to mow the rest of the grass?

Katen [24]

It will take 30 minutes more for remaining grass. As he mowed 40% in 20 minutes, it shows that he mows twice percentage of grass in the time calculated in minutes. So it will take 30 minutes for remaining 60% grass.

You decide to enroll in a plan that gives you a 10% discount if you make telephone calls 7pm – 6am. The per minute charge is $0.

yanalaym [24]

If you used the phone 130 minutes from 6 am to 7 pm, that would cost $13.00. 400 minutes from 7 pm to 6 am at a 10% discount would cost you $36.00. Add totals to get $49.00. Tax at 6% is 2.94. Your total bill would be $51.94.

Total bill = (0.10+0.06) x 130 + (0.10+0.06) x 400 x 0.90
= $ 51.94
