Answer:

13x9

Step-by-step explanation:

half of perimeret of rectangle L+W

half of perimeter of rectangle = 44/2 = 22

L+W=22

LxW=117

Think of 2 numbers that added =22 and multiplied =117

13+9 =22

13x9 =117

The maximum weight allowed per car on The Twister carnival ride is 263 pounds. Your friend weighs 86 pounds. To be able to ride

Kazeer [188]

Your weight: x lb
Friend's wt.: 86 lb
Max wt. allowed: 263 lb

Then x + 86 ≤ 263, with x in lb. You could weigh a max. of 177 lb and still be able to go on this ride.

Find the area of the figure.( sides meet at right angles.)picture below

Tema [17]

You can divide the figure as follows:

A vertical rectangle, 5 meters tall and 2 meters wide, on the top right.
A horizontal rectangle, 2 meters tall and 5 meters wide, on the bottom left
A 2x2 meters square on the bottom right, where the two rectangles meet.

The area of the rectangles is 5x2=10 meters squared, while the area of the square is 2x2=4 meters squared.

So, the total area is 10+4=14 meters squared.

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
