Answer:

≈108.875

Step-by-step explanation:

7.4(7.4)=54.76

sqrt of 8.67≈2.944

54.76+2.944=57.704

57.704/0.53≈108.875

Answer:

y=124°

x=67°

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangle on the right

180-74-50=56°

then y= 180-56=124°

For the triangle on the middle (that small triangle)

180-85(Head opposite angles)-50=45°

x=180-45-68=67°

Which relation is also a function?

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Hi san, A relation from a set X to a set Y is called a function if each element of X is related to exactly one element in Y. That is, given an element x in X, there is only one element in Y that x is related to. For example, consider the following sets X and Y.

This should help you a bit.

Assume that there is a 4% rate of disk drive failure in a year. a. If all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive wit

kap26 [50]

Answer:

a) 99.84% probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive

b) 99.999744% probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive

Step-by-step explanation:

For each disk drive, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it works, or it does not. The disks are independent. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

4% rate of disk drive failure in a year.

This means that 96% work correctly, $p = 0.96$

a. If all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive with a copy stored on a second hard disk drive, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive?

This is $P(X \ geq 1)$ when $n = 2$

We know that either none of the disks work, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 1)$ . So

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.96)^{0}.(0.04)^{2} = 0.0016$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0016 = 0.9984$

99.84% probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive

b. If copies of all your computer data are stored on four independent hard disk drives, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive?

This is $P(X \ geq 1)$ when $n = 4$

We know that either none of the disks work, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 1)$ . So

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.96)^{0}.(0.04)^{4} = 0.00000256$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.00000256 = 0.99999744$

99.999744% probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive

Taxicab Ride

lara [203]

Answer: Carlton's cabs is the cheaper option if she wants to travel 15 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear relationship can be written as:

c = a*n + b

where a is the slope (in this case, the rate per mile), n is the number of miles driven by the taxi, and b is the y-axis (in this case, the initial cost) intercept.

For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope can be written as:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).

Then for each table we only need to take two points and construct the linear equation:

Treveon's Taxis:

We can use the two points (1, $5.25) and (3, $9.75)

Then the rate per mile, or the slope, will be:

a = ($9.75 - $5.25)/(3 - 1) = $2.25

This means that each mile costs $2.25

Then the equation will be written as:

c = $2.25*n + b

To find the value of b, we can just replace one of the points in the equation. For example, I will se the point (1, $5.25) this means that we need to replace n by 1, and c by $5.25

Then:

$5.25 = $2.25*1 + b

$5.25 - $2.25 = b

$3 = b

Then the initial cost here is $3.

And the equation will be:

c = $2.25*n + $3.

Carlton's Cabs:

Same approach as before, here I will use the points (1, $7.00) and (3, $10.50)

Then the rate per mile will be:

a = ($10.50 - $7.00)/(3 - 1) = $1.75

The rate per mile is $1.75 (is cheaper than in the previous case)

Then at the moment, the equation is:

c = $1.75*n + b

To find the initial cost, we do the same as before, here i will use the point (1, $7.00)

$7.00 = $1.75*1 + b

$7.00 - $1.75 = b

$5.25 = b

The initial cost here is $5.25

And the equation will be:

c = $1.75*n + $5.25

Now, which one is cheaper for 15 miles?

We only need to replace n by 15 in both equations, and see in which one the cost is lower:

Treveon's Taxis:

c(15) = $2.25*15 + $3 = $36.75

Carlton's Cabs:

c(15) = $1.75*15 + $5.25 = $31.5

Then Carlton's Cabs is a better option if you want to travel 15 miles.
