Twenty percent of cars that are inspected have faulty pollution control systems. The cost of repairing a pollution control syste

m exceeds $100 about 40% of the time. When a driver takes her car in for inspection, what’s the probability that she will end up paying more than $100 to repair the pollution control system?

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assumption: her car has faulty pollution control system is independent of the cost of repairing a pollution control system exceeds $100.

Applying the multiplication rule gives:

faulty pollution control system and cost of repairing it exceeds $100 = 0.2*0.4 = 0.08 = 8%

The rate of transmission in a telegraph cable is observed to be proportional to x2ln(1/x) where x is the ratio of the radius of
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The value of x that gives the maximum transmission is 1/√e ≅0.607

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call f the rate function f. Note that f(x) = k * x^2ln(1/x), where k is a positive constant (this is because f is proportional to the other expression). In order to compute the maximum of f in (0,1), we derivate f, using the product rule.

f'(x) = k*((x^2)'*ln(1/x) + x^2*(ln(1/x)')) = k*(2x\,ln(1/x)+x^2*(\frac{1}{1/x}*(-\frac{1}{x^2})))\\= k * (2x \, ln(1/x)-x)

We need to equalize f' to 0

  • k*(2x ln(1/x) - x) = 0 -------- We send k dividing to the other side
  • 2x ln(1/x) - x = 0 -------- Now we take the x and move it to the other side
  • 2x ln(1/x) = x -- Now, we send 2x dividing (note that x>0, so we can divide)
  • ln(1/x) = x/2x = 1/2 -------  we send the natural logarithm as exp
  • 1/x = e^(1/2)
  • x = 1/e^(1/2) = 1/√e ≅ 0.607

Thus, the value of x that gives the maximum transmission is 1/√e.

Find the surface area of a sphere with a diameter of 34 meters
Aliun [14]

if its diameter is 34, then its radius is half that or 17.

\textit{surface area of a sphere}\\\\ SA=4\pi r^2 ~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=17 \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} SA=4\pi (17)^2\implies SA=1156\pi \\\\\\ SA\approx 3631.68~m^2 \end{array}

In which number does one digit 6 have the value of 1/100 of the other digit 6? The answers given are 66.04,56.60,46.06, and 40.6
diamong [38]
6,702 = 6 thousands and 7 hundreds and 0 tens and 2 ones
= 6 × 1000 + 7 × 100 + 0 × 10 + 2 × 1 
= 6000 + 700 + 2.

Above, we have written the number 6,702 in expanded form, or as a SUM of its different parts according to place value.The digit 6 in the number 6,702 actually has the value 6,000 and the digit 7 actually signifies the value 700. This is why our number system is also called a place value system, because the value of a digit (like 6 or 7 in our example) depends on its placement within the number. In other words, the digit 6 in 6702 does not mean six but six thousand, because the six is placed in the thousands' place. The place of a digit determines its value. I'll go for <span>66.04 that's the closest</span>
