The longest side of an acute triangle measures 30 inches. The two remaining sides are congruent, but their length is unknown.

1 answer:

7 0

The smallest perimeter is 72.44 inches. The longest side of an acute triangle measures 30 inches. The two remaining sides are congruent, but their length is unknown. As much as possible, the sum of the length of the two remaining side must be greater than the other side. Given the side is 30, then the sum of the two remaining sides should be greater than 30 inches.

A pen company averages 1.2 defective pens per carton produced (200 pens). The number of defects per carton is Poisson distribute

nlexa [21]

Answer:

a. P(x = 0 | λ = 1.2) = 0.301

b. P(x ≥ 8 | λ = 1.2) = 0.000

c. P(x > 5 | λ = 1.2) = 0.002

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of defects per carton is Poisson distributed, with parameter 1.2 pens/carton, we can model the probability of k defects as:

$P(k)=\frac{\lambda^{k}e^{-\lambda}}{k!}= \frac{1.2^{k}\cdot e^{-1.2}}{k!}$

a. What is the probability of selecting a carton and finding no defective pens?

This happens for k=0, so the probability is:

$P(0)=\frac{1.2^{0}\cdot e^{-1.2}}{0!}=e^{-1.2}=0.301$

b. What is the probability of finding eight or more defective pens in a carton?

This can be calculated as one minus the probablity of having 7 or less defective pens.

$P(k\geq8)=1-P(k$

$P(0)=1.2^{0} \cdot e^{-1.2}/0!=1*0.3012/1=0.301\\\\P(1)=1.2^{1} \cdot e^{-1.2}/1!=1*0.3012/1=0.361\\\\P(2)=1.2^{2} \cdot e^{-1.2}/2!=1*0.3012/2=0.217\\\\P(3)=1.2^{3} \cdot e^{-1.2}/3!=2*0.3012/6=0.087\\\\P(4)=1.2^{4} \cdot e^{-1.2}/4!=2*0.3012/24=0.026\\\\P(5)=1.2^{5} \cdot e^{-1.2}/5!=2*0.3012/120=0.006\\\\P(6)=1.2^{6} \cdot e^{-1.2}/6!=3*0.3012/720=0.001\\\\P(7)=1.2^{7} \cdot e^{-1.2}/7!=4*0.3012/5040=0\\\\$

$P(k$

c. Suppose a purchaser of these pens will quit buying from the company if a carton contains more than five defective pens. What is the probability that a carton contains more than five defective pens?

We can calculate this as we did the previous question, but for k=5.

$P(k>5)=1-P(k\leq5)=1-\sum_{k=0}^5P(k)\\\\P(k>5)=1-(0.301+0.361+0.217+0.087+0.026+0.006)\\\\P(k>5)=1-0.998=0.002$

Sarah's craft project uses pieces of yarn that are 1/8 yard long. She has a piece of yarn that is 3 yards long. How many 1/8 yar

Verdich [7]

If she used all of her yarn, she'd have 24 pieces. If she wanted 1.25 left, she'd have ten less because 24 • .125 = 8, and 1/4 of eight = 2, and 2 + 8 = 10.

So she'd have 14 pieces.

Below we give the overall dining experience ratings (Outstanding, Very Good, Good, Average, or Poor) of 30 randomly selected pat

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative frequency = frequency / total frequency

Total frequency = 30

Outstanding = 14 / 30 = 0. 467 = 46.7%

Very good = 10/30 = 0.333 = 33.3%

Good = 5 / 30 = 0.167 = 16.7%

Average = 1 / 30 = 0.0333 = 3.3%

Poor = 0

_______Rating : frequency : R/ frequency

Outstanding _____ 14 _______0.467

Very good _______10 _______0.333

Good ___________ 5 _______ 0.167

Average _________ 1 _______ 0.033

Poor ____________ 0 _______ 0

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of exterior angles = 360

64 + 60 + 69 + 42 + x + x +23 = 360

2x + 258 = 360

2x = 360 - 258

2x = 102

x = 51

I need help If you know this answer plz give it ta meh

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

4.9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are dealing with a Right angle triangle, and the c is actually the hypotenuse. We are given the measures of a and b.

a being 4, and b being 3.

We need to use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this.

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$

we can rewrite this as;

$4^2 + 3^2 = c^2\\$

Calculation time

15 + 9 = c

c = 24

Now we find the square root of each equation to determine what $c^2$ is.

$\sqrt{15}+\sqrt{9}=\sqrt{24}$

4 + 3 = 4.89897948557

Let's round that to the nearest tenth.

4.9 units

Hope this helped :)
