Before the distribution of certain statistical software, every fourth compact disk (CD) is testedfor accuracy. The testing proce

ss consists of running four independent programs and checking the results. The failure rates for the four testing programs are, respectively, 0.01, 0.03, 0.02, and 0.01.a.(4pts) What is the probability that a CD was tested and failed any test

Answer:

P(T∩E) = 0.017

Step-by-step explanation:

Since every fourth CD is tested. Thus if T is the event that represents 4 disks being tested,

P(T) = 1/4 = 0.25

Let Fi represent event of failure rate. So from the question,

P(F1) = 0.01 ; P(F2) = 0.03 ; P(F3) =0.02 ; P(F4) = 0.01

Also Let F'i represent event of success rate. And we have;

P(F'1) = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99 ; P(F'2) = 1 - 0.03 = 0.97; P(F'3) = 1 - 0.02 = 0.98; P(F'4) = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99

Since all programs run independently, the probability that all programs will run successfully is;

P(All programs to run successfully) =

P(F'1) x P(F'2) x P(F'3) x P(F'4) =

0.99 x 0.97 x 0.98 x 0.97 = 0.932

Now, that all 4 programs failed will be = 1 - 0.932 = 0.068

Let E be denote that the CD fails the test. Thus P(E) = 0.068

Now, since testing and CD's defection are independent events, the probability that one CD was tested and failed will be =P(T∩E) = P(T) x P(E)= 0.25 x 0.068 = 0.017

Which equation can be used to solve for b? Triangle A B C is shown. Angle B C A is a right angle and angle C A B is 30 degrees.
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer: We should use the correct formula for tan α  (which is opposite

leg over adjacent leg)   tan α = 5/b

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached file

We must use the for equation of tan α = BC/AC  

tan α = BC/ b              tan α = 5/b      tan 30⁰  = 1/√3

b = 5/√3    ⇒ b = 5/1.7320

b = 2.8868  cm

N triangle xyz, m∠z > m∠x m∠y. which must be true about △xyz?
liubo4ka [24]
The choices are the below that can be found elsewhere:

m∠X + m∠Z < 90° 

m∠Y > 90° 

∠X and∠Y are complementary 

m∠X + m∠Y < 90°


Since the given is m<Z > m<X +m<Y and <span>the sum of measure of angles of a triangle is equal 180 degrees so from this result that the last one choice need being true sure so m<X +m<Y < 90°</span>

A sphere has a radius of 16 in. Which statements about the sphere are true? Check all that apply.
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

  • The sphere has a diameter of 32 in. CORRECT: the diameter of a sphere doubles its radio, so if the radio equals 16,the diameter measures the double, in this case, 32.
  • The radius' lenght is one half the length of the diameter. CORRECT: , by definition, the diameter is the maximum distance between two opposite points on the surface of the sphere, and its lenght equals twice the radius because the radius is the distance between the center of the sphere and any point of the frontier of the sphere (then, one colud imagine that the distance between two opposite points in a sphere can be united by two radius, or a diameter).
  • The volume (V) of a sphere can be calculated as \frac{4\pi r^3}{3}, where r is the radio. In this case, the volume of the sphere will be \frac{4\pi\times16^3}{3}=\frac{4\pi\times4096}{3}, which is also equal to \frac{16384\times\pi}{3}.

The graph of f(x) = |x| is transformed to g(x) = [X + 11-7. On which interval is the function decreasing?
puteri [66]

Answer:

The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , -1) ⇒ g(x)

The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , 0) ⇒ f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve it

- Decreasing function means a function with a graph that moves

 downward as it is followed from left to right.

- For example, any line with a negative slope is decreasing function

- Lets look to the attached graph to understand the meaning of the

 decreasing function

∵ f(x) = IxI ⇒ green graph

∵ g(x) = Ix + 1I - 7 ⇒ purple graph

- From the graph f(x) translated 1 unit to the left and 7 units down to

 form g(x)

- The domains of f(x) and g(x) are all real numbers {x : x ∈ R}

- The range of f(x) is {y : y ≥ 0}

- The range of g(x) is {y : y ≥ -7}

# For f(x)

- The slope of the green line from (-∞ , 0) is negative

- The slope of the green line from (0 , ∞) is positive

# For g(x)

- The slope of the purple line from (-∞ , -1) is negative

- The slope of the purple line from (-1 , ∞) is positive

∵ The line with negative slope represent decreasing function

∴ The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , -1) ⇒ g(x)

∴ The interval of the decreasing function is (-∞ , 0) ⇒ f(x)
