Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, the variable x represents the total number of apples that Alex has eaten. Since Carlos has eaten half as many apples as Alex this would be represented as 0.5 and is why it is being multiplied by the variable x. The 2 in this scenario represents the tangerines that Carlos has also eaten, while the 4 represents the total number of fruits that Carlos has eaten.

Human visual inspection of solder joints on printed circuit boards can be very subjective. Part of the problem stems from the nu
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

a

The probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by neither of the two inspectors is   P(A' n B' ) = 0.8855

b

The probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by inspector B but not by inspector A  is  P(A' n B) =0.0403

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The sample size is n_s =  10000

    The number of outcome for inspector A is  n__{A}} = 742

    The number of outcome for inspector B is  n__{B}} = 745

     The number of joints judged defective by both inspector is n(A u B) =  1145

The the probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by neither of the two inspectors is mathematically represented as

      P(A' n B' ) =  1 - P(A u B)

Now

       P(A\ u \ B) = \frac{n(Au B)}{n_s }

substituting values

        P(A\ u \ B) = \frac{1145}{ 10 000 }

So  

      P(A' n B' ) =  1 - \frac{1145}{10 000}

     P(A' n B' ) = 0.8855

the probability that the selected joint was judged to be defective by inspector B but not by inspector A  is mathematically represented as

     P(A' n B) =  P(A \ u \ B) -P(A)

Now

        P(A) =  \frac{n__{A}}{n_s}

substituting values

       P(A) =  \frac{742}{10 000}

So

     P(A' n B) =   \frac{1145}{10 000}  - \frac{742}{10 000}

    P(A' n B) =0.0403

madreJ [45]

Answer:

1098.0266 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle is pi times radius squared. We know the diameter, witch is twice the radius. Usually we use 3.14 as pi, but it can also be 22/7. If you have to show your work, try looking for if it asks for pi in the decimal or fraction form. Can I get brainliest?

Answer:

d = 40/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for d:

0.544444 = 28/(9 d)

0.544444 = 49/90:

49/90 = 28/(9 d)

49/90 = 28/(9 d) is equivalent to 28/(9 d) = 49/90:

28/(9 d) = 49/90

Take the reciprocal of both sides:

(9 d)/28 = 90/49

Multiply both sides by 28/9:

Answer:  d = 40/7
