The automatic opening device of a military cargo parachute has been designed to open when the parachute is 185 m above the ground. Suppose opening altitude actually has a normal distribution with mean value 185 and standard deviation 32 m. Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m. What is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes
Answer:
0.0193 = 1.93% probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each parachute, there are only two possible outcomes. Either there is damage, or there is not. The probability of there being damage on a parachute is independent of any other parachute, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
To find the probability of damage on a parachute, the normal distribution is used.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Probability of a parachute having damage.
The opening altitude actually has a normal distribution with mean value 185 and standard deviation 32 m, which means that [tex]\mu = 185, \sigma = 32[/tex]
Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m, which means that the probability of damage is the p-value of Z when X = 100. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{100 - 185}{32}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.66[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.66[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0039.
What is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes?
0.0039 probability of a parachute having damage, which means that [tex]p = 0.0039[/tex]
5 parachutes, which means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]
This probability is:
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.0039)^{0}.(0.9961)^{5} = 0.9807[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.9807 = 0.0193[/tex]
0.0193 = 1.93% probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes.
What is the variable used in the equation 5x + 2 =100?
Answer:
[tex]5x + 2 = 100 \\ 5x = 100 - 2 \\ 5x = 98 \\ x = \frac{98}{5} \\ x = 19.6[/tex]
Answer: the answer would be x because that's the actual variable in the question then if 19.6 was not an option

For a standard normal distribution, find:
P(z > c) = 0.058
Find c.
Answer:
1.572
Step-by-step explanation:
For a standard normal distribution,
P(z > c) = 0.058
To obtain C ; we find the Zscore corresponding to the proportion given, which is to the right of the distribution ;
Using technology or table,
Zscore equivalent to P(Z > c) = 0.058 is 1.572
Hence, c = 1.572
Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that passes through the two points. (-1,3) and (2,9)
Answer:
[tex]y = 2x +5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding the Slope:
m = rise/run
[tex]m=\frac{9-3}{2-(-1)}=\frac{6}{3}=\boxed{2}[/tex]
The slope is 2.
Finding the y-intercept:
[tex]y = 2x + b\\\\9 = 2(2) + b\\\\9 = 4 + b\\\\9 - 4 = 4 - 4 + b\\\\\boxed{ 5 = b}[/tex]
The y-intercept is (0,5).
The equation should be: [tex]y = 2x +5[/tex].
Hope this helps.
Answer:
y = 2x+5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation in slope intercept form, we first have to find the slope of the two points.
The formula for finding the slope is:
[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
We are given the points:
(-1, 3) and (2, 9)
x1, y1 and x2, y2.
[tex]\frac{9-3}{2-(-1)}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{6}{3}[/tex] or 2 (the slope).
The slope intercept form is written as:
y= mx + b
y=2x+b
To find b, we can plug in either of the points given. Personally, I like to work with positive numbers. I'll be using the point (2, 9), however, either point will get you to the same answer.
y=2x+b
9=2(2)+b
9=4+b
Now subtract 4 from both sides.
5=b
Which then leaves us with the equation:
y = 2x+5
A person's email for one day contained a total of 78 messages. The number of spam
messages was two less than four times the number of other messages. How many of
the email messages were spam?
Answer:
62 of the email messages were spam
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of spam and other messages be s and o respectively.
Total number of messages= 78
s +o= 78 -----(1)
s= 4o -2 -----(2)
Substitute (2) into (1):
4o -2 +o= 78
Simplify:
5o -2= 78
+2 on both sides:
5o= 78 +2
5o= 80
Divide both sides by 5:
o= 80 ÷5
o= 16
Since s +o= 78, s= 78 -o.
s= 78 -16
s= 62

If x+7 is an even number, is x+11 an even number or odd number?
Answer:
x + 11 is an even number.
Step-by-step explanation:
Even numbers can only be obtained from the sum of two odd numbers or two even numbers. Since we know that x + 7 is even, x + 11 must be even as well.
There are 200 ounces in 6 liters. How many milliliter (ml) are in 6 liters? (How to do in dimensional analysis?)
9514 1404 393
Answer:
6000 mL
Step-by-step explanation:
The prefix "milli-" is an SI standard prefix meaning 1/1000. So, 1 mL = (1/1000)L.
When doing dimension changes, you always want to use scale factors that have a value of 1, which is to say the numerator is equal to the denominator. For converting liters to milliliters, the scale factor you want will have mL in the numerator and L in the denominator:
(1 mL)/(1/1000 L) or (1000 mL)/(1 L)
To do your conversion, multiply your liter volume by this factor.
[tex](6\text{ L})\times\dfrac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}}=\dfrac{6\times1000\text{ mL$\cdot$L}}{1\text{ L}}=6000\text{ mL}[/tex]
6 liters is 6000 milliliters.

You will notice that the dimensions "L" cancel, which is the point of the exercise.

What is the inverse of the function a(x)=1/x-2
Answer:
x = 1/x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Verify the given linear approximation at a = 0. Then determine the values of x for which the linear approximation is accurate to within 0.1. (Enter your answer using interval notation. Round your answers to three decimal places.) 1/((1 + 9x)^4) ≈ 1 − 36x
Answer:
Part 1)
See Below.
Part 2)
[tex]\displaystyle (-0.179, -0.178) \cup (-0.010, 0.012)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1)
The linear approximation L for a function f at the point x = a is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle L \approx f'(a)(x-a) + f(a)[/tex]
We want to verify that the expression:
[tex]1-36x[/tex]
Is the linear approximation for the function:
[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{1}{(1+9x)^4}[/tex]
At x = 0.
So, find f'(x). We can use the chain rule:
[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = -4(1+9x)^{-4-1}\cdot (9)[/tex]
Simplify. Hence:
[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = -\frac{36}{(1+9x)^{5}}[/tex]
Then the slope of the linear approximation at x = 0 will be:
[tex]\displaystyle f'(1) = -\frac{36}{(1+9(0))^5} = -36[/tex]
And the value of the function at x = 0 is:
[tex]\displaystyle f(0) = \frac{1}{(1+9(0))^4} = 1[/tex]
Thus, the linear approximation will be:
[tex]\displaystyle L = (-36)(x-(0)) + 1 = 1 - 36x[/tex]
Hence verified.
Part B)
We want to determine the values of x for which the linear approximation L is accurate to within 0.1.
In other words:
[tex]\displaystyle \left| f(x) - L(x) \right | \leq 0.1[/tex]
By definition:
[tex]\displaystyle -0.1\leq f(x) - L(x) \leq 0.1[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle -0.1 \leq \left(\frac{1}{(1+9x)^4} \right) - (1-36x) \leq 0.1[/tex]
We can solve this by using a graphing calculator. Please refer to the graph shown below.
We can see that the inequality is true (i.e. the graph is between y = 0.1 and y = -0.1) for x values between -0.179 and -0.178 as well as -0.010 and 0.012.
In interval notation:
[tex]\displaystyle (-0.179, -0.178) \cup (-0.010, 0.012)[/tex]
Max needs to paint a wall that is shaped like a square. He knows that the area of the wall is 75 ft2 . He needs to find the height of the wall. Find the height of the wall to the nearest tenth of a foot.
Answer:
8.7 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the square area formula, a = s², where s is the side length of the square.
Plug in the area and solve for s:
a = s²
75 = s²
√75 = s
8.7 = s
So, to the nearest tenth of a foot, the height is 8.7 feet
