Ashley has a rectangle made out of paper that is 8 cm by12 cm. She folds it in half twice, first vertically and then horizontall

y. The new rectangle looks just like the original rectangle but smaller. What is the area of the new smaller rectangle in square cm

Answer:

$Area =24cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$L = 8cm$

$W = 12cm$

$r = 2$ -- folded twice

Required

The area of the new rectangle

When the length was folder, the new length is:

$l = L/2 = 8cm/2 = 4cm$

When the width was folder, the new width is:

$w = W/2 = 12cm/2 = 6cm$

So, the new area is:

$Area =l * w$

$Area =4cm * 6cm$

$Area =24cm^2$

<span>By the Pythagorean theorem

$\frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{BD}{BC} \ \to \ BC= \frac{AB*BD}{AD}= \frac{13*12}{5}= 31.2 \ units$

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST THANKS AND 5 STARS FOR CORRECT ANSWER Desmond ran a lemonade stand in front of his house for the fans walki

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the 70% so that we can use it with the 80 cups. To do this, convert the percent to a decimal by moving the decimal 2 spaces to the left:

70% → 70.00 → 0.70 → 0.7

70% percent can be seen as 0.7. Multiply this by 80:

$80*0.7=56$

So, 70% of 80 is 56. Desmond sold 56 cups on the second Saturday.

The probability density function of the time to failure of an electronic component in a copier (in hours) is f(x) for Determine

salantis [7]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

The probability density function of the time to failure of an electronic component in a copier (in hours) is

$f(x)=\frac{e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }}{1000}$

for x > 0. Determine the probability that

a. A component lasts more than 3000 hours before failure.

b. A componenet fails in the interval from 1000 to 2000 hours.

c. A component fails before 1000 hours.

d. Determine the number of hours at which 10% of all components have failed.

Answer: a. P(x>3000) = 0.5

b. P(1000<x<2000) = 0.2325

c. P(x<1000) = 0.6321

d. 105.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation: <em>Probability Density Function</em> is a function defining the probability of an outcome for a discrete random variable and is mathematically defined as the derivative of the distribution function.

So, probability function is given by:

P(a<x<b) = $\int\limits^b_a {P(x)} \, dx$

Then, for the electronic component, probability will be:

P(a<x<b) = $\int\limits^b_a {\frac{e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }}{1000} } \, dx$

P(a<x<b) = $\frac{1000}{1000}.e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }$

P(a<x<b) = $e^{\frac{-b}{1000} }-e^\frac{-a}{1000}$

a. For a component to last more than 3000 hours:

P(3000<x<∞) = $e^{\frac{-3000}{1000} }-e^\frac{-a}{1000}$

Exponential equation to the infinity tends to zero, so:

P(3000<x<∞) = $e^{-3}$

P(3000<x<∞) = 0.05

There is a probability of 5% of a component to last more than 3000 hours.

b. Probability between 1000 and 2000 hours:

P(1000<x<2000) = $e^{\frac{-2000}{1000} }-e^\frac{-1000}{1000}$

P(1000<x<2000) = $e^{-2}-e^{-1}$

P(1000<x<2000) = 0.2325

There is a probability of 23.25% of failure in that interval.

c. Probability of failing between 0 and 1000 hours:

P(0<x<1000) = $e^{\frac{-1000}{1000} }-e^\frac{-0}{1000}$

P(0<x<1000) = $e^{-1}-1$

P(0<x<1000) = 0.6321

There is a probability of 63.21% of failing before 1000 hours.

d. P(x) = $e^{\frac{-b}{1000} }-e^\frac{-a}{1000}$

0.1 = $1-e^\frac{-x}{1000}$

$-e^{\frac{-x}{1000} }=-0.9$

${\frac{-x}{1000} }=ln0.9$

-x = -1000.ln(0.9)

x = 105.4

10% of the components will have failed at 105.4 hours.
