A manufacturer of pickup trucks is required to recall all the trucks manufactured in a given year for the repair of possible def

ects in the steering column and defects in the brake linings. Dealers have been notified that 3% of the trucks have defective steering, and that 5% of the trucks have defective brake linings. If 94% of the trucks have neither defect, what percentage of the trucks have both defects

Answer: 2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event of having defective steering and B be the vent of having defective brake linings.

Given: P(A) = 0.03 P(B) = 0.05

P(neither A nor B ) = 0.94

Using formula: P(either A nor B) = 1- P(neither A nor B )

= 1-0.94

i.e. P(either A nor B) =0.06

Using formula:P(A and B) = P(A)+P(B)-P(either A or B)

P(A and B) =0.03+0.05-0.06

= 0.02

Hence, the percentage of the trucks have both defects = 2%

Is 5/6 closer to 1, 1/2, or 2 and why?

1 because 5/6 is almost a whole. It can't be 1/2 because it would have been 3/6. And it's not 2 because it should have been an improper faction

You have been asked to design a can shaped like right circular cylinder that can hold a volume of 432π-cm3. What dimensions of t

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

$Height = 12cm$

$Radius = 6cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent volume with v, height with h and radius with r

$V = 432\pi$

Required

Determine the values of h and r that uses the least amount of material

Volume is calculated as:

$V = \pi r^2h\\$

Substitute 432π for V

$432\pi = \pi r^2h$

Divide through by π

$432 = r^2h$

Make h the subject:

$h = \frac{432}{r^2}$

Surface Area (A) of a cylinder is calculated as thus:

$A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2$

Substitute $\frac{432}{r^2}$ for h in $A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2$

$A=2\pi r(\frac{432}{r^2})+2\pi r^2$

$A=2\pi (\frac{432}{r})+2\pi r^2$

Factorize:

$A=2\pi (\frac{432}{r} + r^2)$

To minimize, we have to differentiate both sides and set $A' = 0$

$A'=2\pi (-\frac{432}{r^2} + 2r)$

Set $A' = 0$

$0=2\pi (-\frac{432}{r^2} + 2r)$

Divide through by $2\pi$

$0= -\frac{432}{r^2} + 2r$

$\frac{432}{r^2} = 2r$

Cross Multiply

$2r * r^2 = 432$

$2r^3 = 432$

Divide through by 2

$r^3 = 216$

Take cube roots of both sides

$r = \sqrt[3]{216}$

$r = 6$

Recall that:

$h = \frac{432}{r^2}$

$h = \frac{432}{6^2}$

$h = \frac{432}{36}$

$h = 12$

Hence, the dimension that requires the least amount of material is when

$Height = 12cm$

$Radius = 6cm$
