opening device of a military cargo parachute has been designed to open when the parachute is 200 m above the ground. suppose opening altitude actually has a normal distribution with mean value 200 and standard deviation 31 m. equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m. what is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes? (round your answer to four decimal places.)

<span>0.3046% chance of damaging at least one of five payloads. First, determine how many standard deviations it takes for the parachute to open at 100 meters. So 200 m - 100 m = 100 m 100 m / 31 m = 3.2258 Looking up on a standard normal table, the probability of having that deviation or higher is 0.00061, or 0.061% Since you're looking for the probability of damaging at least one of five, the easiest way of calculating that is to subtract from 1 the probability of having all five parachutes successfully deploy. So 1 - (1 - 0.00061)^5 = 1 - 0.99939^5 = 1 - 0.996953719 = 0.003046281 = 0.3046%</span>

Find the co-ordinates of the point of trisection of the line joining the points A(1,8) and B(4,2).
Licemer1 [7]

<u>coordinates of the point are (2,6) and (3,4)</u>

Answer:

Solution given:

let the given point be A(1,8) and B(4,2).

P and Q are the two points on AB such that

AP=PQ=QB=k

now

comparing AP and PB

AP=k

PB=2k

ratio of AP and PB =\frac{1k}{2k}= ratio 1:2

now

finding p

for this

(m_1,m_2)=(1,2)

For AB

(x_1,y_1)=(1,8)

(x_2,y_2)=(4,2)

now by using division formula

(x,y)=(\frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m2},\frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m2})

=(\frac{1*4+2*1}{1+2},\frac{1*2+2*8}{1+2})=(2,6)

similarly

Q divides AB

Ratio of AQ and QB =\frac{2k}{1k}= ratio 2:1

(x_1,y_1)=(1,8)

(x_2,y_2)=(4,2)

(m_1,m_2)=(2,1)

by using division formula

(a,b)=(\frac{m_1x_2+m_2x_1}{m_1+m2},\frac{m_1y_2+m_2y_1}{m_1+m2})

=(\frac{2*4+1*1}{2+1},\frac{2*2+1*8}{2+1})=(3,4)

Write an expression that represents the perimeter of the football field. Let x represent the length of the football field. Inclu
dlinn [17]
Expression with parenthesis: = 2 ( l + w)
Expression without parenthesis = 2l + 2w

The property we used is known as "Distributive Property"

Let, width = w
Length = w + 70

Perimeter would be: P = 2(w+70+w)
p = 2(2w+70)
p = 4w + 140

Hope this helps!

In the following sequence, each number (except the first two) is the sum of the previous two numbers: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, .
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Fibonacci Series has been explained and the general term and shortcut to find the corresponding term has been attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Fibonnaci is a beautiful series in mathematics where the term in the series is the sum of the previous two terms of the corresponding term in the series.

Its general form is denoted by

X_{n} =X_{n-1}+X_{n-2},

where X_{n} represents the n^{th} of the Fibonnaci series.

The special thing about the Fibonacci series is that the more number of terms we proceed the ratio of the two consecutive term comes closer to the value of the Golden Ratio(φ) whose value is 1.618034.

But there is another method to find out the terms of the the Fibonacci series, which takes into account the value of φ. The formula for the following is as follows

jonny [76]
2 1/2 yds = 2.5 x 36 = 90 inches...what she started with

2 ft 8 in = 2(12) + 8 = 32 inches...what she had left

90 - x = 32 
90 - 32 = x
x = 58 inches....so she used 58 inches

Ben’s driving test had 40 questions and he correctly answered 12 more than he missed. How many questions did he miss?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

He missed 14 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

Total = Right + Miss ⇒ t = r + m

Right = Miss + 12 ⇒ r = m + 12

t = 40

Since t = r + m and r = m + 12 then:

t = m + 12 + m

t = 2m + 12

40 = 2m + 12

28 = 2m

m = 14
