Answer:

Method B is the more efficient way of heating the water.

Explanation:

Method B is more efficient because by placing a heating element in the water as in described in method B, the heat that is lost to the surroundings is minimized which implies that more heat is supplied directly to the water. Therefore, more heating is achieved with a lesser amount of electrical energy input. Whereas placing the pan on a range means more heat losses to the surrounding and as such it will take a longer time for the water to heat up and also take more electrical energy.

The number of weaving errors in a twenty-foot by ten-foot roll of carpet has a mean of 0.8 What is the probability of observing
Viktor [21]

Answer:

0.14% probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet

Explanation:

When we only have the mean, we use the Poisson distribution.

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given interval.

The number of weaving errors in a twenty-foot by ten-foot roll of carpet has a mean of 0.8.

This means that \mu = 0.8

What is the probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet

Either we observe 4 or less errors, or we observe more than 4. The sum of the probabilities of these outcomes is 1. So

P(X \leq 4) + P(X > 4) = 1

We want P(X > 4). Then

P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4)

In which

P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.4493

P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.3595

P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.1438

P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.0383

P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-0.8}*(0.8)^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.0077

P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.4493 + 0.3595 + 0.1438 + 0.0383 + 0.0077 = 0.9986

P(X > 4) = 1 - P(X \leq 4) = 1 - 0.9986 = 0.0014

0.14% probability of observing more than 4 errors in the carpet

If a front gear had 24 teeth, and a rear gear has 12 teeth:
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

  4 times around

Explanation:

The total number of teeth involved will be the same for each gear. If the front gear is connected to the pedal and it goes around twice, then 2·24 = 48 teeth will have passed the reference point.

If the rear gear is attached to the wheel, and 48 teeth pass the reference point, then it will have made ...

  (48 teeth)/(12 teeth/turn) = 4 turns

HELP<br><br><br>the overall width of a part is dimensioned as 3.00 ± 0.02. what is the tolerance
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Not knowing the units the tolerance is 0.02.  I would presume mm but hopefully your question has more detail.  

Explanation:

The tolerance is the portion after the main dimension (+/- 0.02).  In our case we have bilateral tolerance since there is tolerance in both directions (positive and negative).  If you were building a part the acceptable range would be 2.98 to 3.02 based on the tolerance provided.
