abeled 10 ohms, but in fact their resistances are 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 ohms. The resistors in the second box are labeled 20 ohms, but in fact their resistances are 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 ohms. The EE chooses one resistor from each box and determines the resistance of each. Let A be the event that the first resistor has a resistance greater than 10, let B be the event that the second resistor has a resistance less than 19, and let C be the event that the sum of the resistances is equal to 28. List the sample space for this experiment, and specify the subsets corresponding to the events A, B, and C. Ans:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that an  electrical engineer has on hand two boxes of resistors, with five resistors in each box. The resistors in the first box are labeled 10 ohms, but in fact their resistances are 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 ohms. The resistors in the second box are labeled 20 ohms, but in fact their resistances are 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22 ohms. The EE chooses one resistor from each box and determines the resistance of each

Sample space for selecting one resistor from first box

= {9, 10, 11, 12, 13}

A = {11,12,13} (because >10)

Sample space for selecting one resistor from second  box

={18,19,20,21,22}

B={18}

Sample space for sum would be

{27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35}

C = {(9,19) , (10,18)}

Tasha has eight more fish than Oscar, who has twice as many fish as Cecilia. If altogether they have 148 fish, how many fish do
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

They each have 64

Step-by-step explanation:

let C = number of fish that Cecilia has --- then, O = 2C, where O = number of fish that Oscar has --- and T = O + 8 = 2C + 8, where T = number of fish that Tasha has --- then, C + O + T = C + 2C + (2C + 8) = 148 --- or, 5C + 8 = 148 --- or, 5C = 140 --- or, C = 140/5 = 28 --- and, O = 2C = 2(28) = 56 --- and, T = O + 8 = 56 + 8 = 64

Where does the helix r(t) = cos(πt), sin(πt), t intersect the paraboloid z = x2 + y2? (x, y, z) = What is the angle of intersect
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Intersection at (-1, 0, 1).

Angle 0.6 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

The helix r(t) = (cos(πt), sin(πt), t) intersects the paraboloid  

z = x2 + y2 when the coordinates (x,y,z)=(cos(πt), sin(πt), t) of the helix satisfy the equation of the paraboloid. That is, when

\bf (cos(\pi t), sin(\pi t), t)

But  

\bf cos^2(\pi t)+sin^2(\pi t)=1

so, the helix intersects the paraboloid when t=1. This is the point

(cos(π), sin(π), 1) = (-1, 0, 1)

The angle of intersection between the helix and the paraboloid is the angle between the tangent vector to the curve and the tangent plane to the paraboloid.

The <em>tangent vector</em> to the helix in t=1 is

r'(t) when t=1

r'(t) = (-πsin(πt), πcos(πt), 1), hence

r'(1) = (0, -π, 1)

A normal vector to the tangent plane of the surface  

\bf z=x^2+y^2

at the point (-1, 0, 1) is given by

\bf (\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}(-1,0),\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}(-1,0),-1)

where

\bf f(x,y)=x^2+y^2

since

\bf \frac{\partial f}{\partial x}=2x,\;\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}=2y

so, a normal vector to the tangent plane is

(-2,0,-1)

Hence, <em>a vector in the same direction as the projection of the helix's tangent vector (0, -π, 1) onto the tangent plane </em>is given by

\bf (0,-\pi,1)-((0,-\pi,1)\bullet(-2,0,-1))(-2,0,1)=(0,-\pi,1)-(-2,0,1)=(2,-\pi,0)

The angle between the tangent vector to the curve and the tangent plane to the paraboloid equals the angle between the tangent vector to the curve and the vector we just found.  

But we now

\bf (2,-\pi,0)\bullet(0,-\pi,1)=\parallel(2,-\pi,0)\parallel\parallel(0,-\pi,1)\parallel cos\theta

where  

\bf \theta= angle between the tangent vector and its projection onto the tangent plane. So

\bf \pi^2=(\sqrt{4+\pi^2}\sqrt{\pi^2+1})cos\theta\rightarrow cos\theta=\frac{\pi^2}{\sqrt{4+\pi^2}\sqrt{\pi^2+1}}=0.8038

and

\bf \theta=arccos(0.8038)=0.6371\;radians

A survey found that 73% of adults have a landline at their residence (event A); 83% have a cell phone (event B). It is known tha
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

3. What is the probability that an adult selected at random has both a landline and a cell phone?

A. 0.58

4. Given an adult has a cell phone, what is the probability he does not have a landline?

C. 0.3012

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that an adult has a landline at his residence.

B is the probability that an adult has a cell phone.

C is the probability that a mean is neither of those.

We have that:

A = a + (A \cap B)

In which a is the probability that an adult has a landline but not a cell phone and A \cap B is the probability that an adult has both of these things.

By the same logic, we have that:

B = b + (A \cap B)

The sum of all the subsets is 1:

a + b + (A \cap B) + C = 1

2% of adults have neither a cell phone nor a landline.

This means that C = 0.02.

73% of adults have a landline at their residence (event A); 83% have a cell phone (event B)

So A = 0.73, B = 0.83.

What is the probability that an adult selected at random has both a landline and a cell phone?

This is A \cap B.

We have that A = 0.73. So

A = a + (A \cap B)

a = 0.73 - (A \cap B)

By the same logic, we have that:

b = 0.83 - (A \cap B).

So

a + b + (A \cap B) + C = 1

0.73 - (A \cap B) + 0.83 - (A \cap B) + (A \cap B) + 0.02 = 1

(A \cap B) = 0.75 + 0.83 - 1 = 0.58

So the answer for question 3 is A.

4. Given an adult has a cell phone, what is the probability he does not have a landline?

83% of the adults have a cellphone.

We have that

b = B - (A \cap B) = 0.83 - 0.58 = 0.25

25% of those do not have a landline.

So P = \frac{0.25}{0.83} = 0.3012

The answer for question 4 is C.
