A machine produces small cans that are used for baked beans. The probabil- ity that the can is in perfect shape is 0.9. The prob

ability of the can having an unnoticeable dent is 0.02. The probability that the can is obviously dented is 0.08. Produced cans get passed through an automatic inspection machine, which is able to detect obviously dented cans and discard them. What is the probability that a can that gets shipped for use will be of perfect shape?

Answer:

0.9783 = 97.83% probability that a can that gets shipped for use will be of perfect shape

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Shipped for use

Event B: Perfect shape

Probability of being shipped for use:

Perfect shape(0.9 probability) or unnoticeable dent(0.02 probability). So

$P(A) = 0.9 + 0.02 = 0.92$

Being shipped for use and being in perfect shape.

0.9 probability, so $P(A \cap B) = 0.9$

What is the probability that a can that gets shipped for use will be of perfect shape?

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.9}{0.92} = 0.9783$

0.9783 = 97.83% probability that a can that gets shipped for use will be of perfect shape

The vertices of ∆ABC are A(2, 8), B(16, 2), and C(6, 2). what is the perimeter and area in square units

ad-work [718]

Check the picture below.

the triangle has that base and that height, recall that A = 1/2 bh.

now as for the perimeter, you can pretty much count the units off the grid for the segment CB, so let's just find the lengths of AC and AB,

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&A&(~ 2 &,& 8~) 
% (c,d)
&C&(~ 6 &,& 2~)
\end{array}~~~ 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(2-8)^2}\implies AC=\sqrt{4^2+(-6)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{16+36}\implies AC=\sqrt{52}\implies AC=\sqrt{4\cdot 13}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{2^2\cdot 13}\implies AC=2\sqrt{13}$

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&A&(~ 2 &,& 8~) 
% (c,d)
&B&(~ 16 &,& 2~)
\end{array}\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{(16-2)^2+(2-8)^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{14^2+(-6)^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{196+36}\implies AB=\sqrt{232}\implies AB=\sqrt{4\cdot 58}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{2^2\cdot 58}\implies AB=2\sqrt{58}$

so, add AC + AB + CB, and that's the perimeter of the triangle.

Write the trigonometric expression <br> Cos (arcsin (u))<br> As an algebraic expression in u

makvit [3.9K]

When we use arcsine, we are finding the angle while giving the trigonometric ratio.

Arcsin(u) = theta can be rewritten as:

sin(theta) = u

Sine is opposite over hypotenuse, so u/1 means that the side opposite to theta (the y value) is u, and the hypotenuse is 1.

We can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the adjacent (x value).

1^2 - u^2 = x^2

x = sqrt(1-u^2)

Back to the original question, we are trying to find cos(arcsin(u)). We just solved all the sides for our triangle using arcsin(u). Now we need to do cos(u).

Cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse.

So our answer is sqrt(1-u^2)/1

Or just sqrt(1-u^2)

On a piece of paper, use a protractor to construct a triangle with angle measures of 40 degrees and 60 degrees.

Andru [333]

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation

Well every triangle has to equal 180 degrees.

So you would add the two degrees you already have, which on this one you would get 100.

Then, you would subtract that number from 180 to get 80.

Hope this helps you!!
