Answer: 9x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a number must be decreased by four. Let's break it up a little.

Nine times <em>some </em>number. We don't know what nine will be multiplied by, so we will just write a placeholder number: x. This number will be multiplied by nine. So it will turn into 9x.

We must decrease (subtract) from this by four. Subtracting 9x by four can be written as 9x - 4.

g Suppose a factory production line uses 3 machines, A, B, and C for making bolts. The total output from the line is distributed

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The probability that it came from A, given that is defective is 0.362.

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the events:

A: The element comes from A.

B: The element comes from B.

C: The element comes from C.

D: The elemens is defective.

We are given that P(A) = 0.25, P(B) = 0.35, P(C) = 0.4. Recall that since the element comes from only one of the machines, if an element is defective, it comes either from A, B or C. Using the probability axioms, we can calculate that

$P(D) = P(A\cap D) + P(B\cap D) + P(C\cap D)$

Recall that given events E,F the conditional probability of E given F is defined as

$P(E|F) = \frac{P(E\cap F)}{P(F)}$ , from where we deduce that

$P(E\cap F) = P(E|F)P(F)$ .

We are given that given that the element is from A, the probability of being defective is 5%. That is P(D|A) =0.05. Using the previous analysis we get that

$P(D) = P(A)P(D|A)+P(B) P(D|B) + P(C)P(D|C) = 0.05\cdot 0.25+0.04\cdot 0.35+0.02\cdot 0.4 = 0.0345$

We are told to calculate P(A|D), then using the formulas we have

$P(A|D) = \frac{P(A\cap D)}{P(D)}= \frac{P(D|A)P(A)}{P(D)}= \frac{0.05\cdot 0.25}{0.0345}= 0.36231884$

If the radius of mars is about 13.7% of neptune's radius, what is the radius of neptune?

Marianna [84]

The volumetric mean radius of Mars is about 3389.5 km. We know that it's 13.7% of Neptune's mean radius, so we can write it down as:

3389.5 = 13.7% of x (where x is Neptune's radius)
3389.5 = 13.7% x
3389.5 = 137/1000x / * 1000 (both sides)
3389500 = 137x / ÷ 137 (both sides)
x = 24740.87591240876
x ≈ 24740.88

Answer: The mean radius of Neptune is about 24740.88 km.
