As the number of phones produced increases, wil the working rate ever get to 100%? Explain.

No, just because the phones produced Increases it doesn’t mean that the work rate will get up to 100%. There can always be more workers.

Which equation can be used to find the length of Line segment A C? Triangle A B C is shown. Angle A C B is 90 degrees and angle

taurus [48]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

AC = 10sin(40°)

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

The diagram representing the question is shown in the attached image

Since the given triangle is a right-angled triangle, we can apply the special trig functions

<u>These functions are as follows:</u>

sin(θ) = opposite / hypotenuse

cos(θ) = adjacent / hypotenuse

tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent

<u>Now, in the given diagram:</u>

θ = 40°

AC is the side opposite to θ

AB = 10 in is the hypotenuse

<u>Based on these givens</u>, we will use the sin(θ) function

<u>Therefore:</u>

$sin(40) = \frac{AC}{10}\\ \\AC = 10sin(40)$

Customers are used to evaluate a preliminary product design. In the past, 95% of highly successful products received good review

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

a. 61.5%; b. About 61.8%; c. About 36.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a kind of question that we can solve using the Bayes' Theorem. We have here all the different conditional probabilities we need to solve this problem.

According to that theorem, the probability of a selected product attains a good review is:

$\\ P(G) = P(G|H)*P(H) + P(G|M)*P(M) + P(G|P)*P(P)$ (1)

In words, the probability that a selected product attains a <em>good review</em> is an <em>event </em>that depends upon the sum of the conditional probabilities that the product comes from <em>high successful product</em> P(G|H) by the probability that this product is a <em>highly successful product</em> P(H), plus the same about the rest of the probabilities, that is, P(G|M)*P(M) or the probability that the product has a good review coming from a <em>moderately successful</em> product by the probability of being moderately successful, and a good review coming from a poor successful product by the probability of being poor successful or P(G|P)*P(P).

<h3>The probability that a randomly selected product attains a good review</h3>

In this way, the probability that a randomly selected product attains a good review is the result of the formula (1). Where (from the question):

P(G|H) = 95% or 0.95 (probability of receiving a good review being a highly successful product)

P(G|M) = 60% or 0.60 (probability of receiving a good review being a moderately successful product)

P(G|P) = 10% or 0.10 (probability of receiving a good review being a poorly successful product)

P(H) = 40% or 0.40 (probability of being a highly successful product).

P(M) = 35% or 0.35 (probability of being a moderately successful product).

P(P) = 25% or 0.25 (probability of being a poor successful product).

Then,

$\\ P(G) = P(G|H)*P(H) + P(G|M)*P(M) + P(G|P)*P(P)$

$\\ P(G) = 0.95*0.40 + 0.60*0.35 + 0.10*0.25$

$\\ P(G) = 0.615\;or\; 61.5\%$

That is, <em>the probability that a randomly selected product attains a good review</em> is 61.5%.

<h3>The probability that a new product attains a good review is a highly successful product</h3>

We are looking here for P(H|G). We can express this probability mathematically as follows (another conditional probability):

$\\ P(H|G) = \frac{P(G|H)*P(H)}{P(G)}$

We can notice that the probability represents a fraction from the probability P(G) already calculated. Then,

$\\ P(H|G) = \frac{0.95*0.40}{0.615}$

$\\ P(H|G) =\frac{0.38}{0.615}$

$\\ P(H|G) =0.618$

Then, the probability of a product that attains a good review is indeed a highly successful product is about 0.618 or 61.8%.

<h3>The probability that a product that <em>does not attain </em>a good review is a moderately successful product</h3>

The probability that a product does not attain a good review is given by a similar formula than (1). However, this probability is the complement of P(G). Mathematically:

$\\ P(NG) = P(NG|H)*P(H) + P(NG|M)*P(M) + P(NG|P)*P(P)$

P(NG|H) = 1 - P(G|H) = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

P(NG|M) = 1 - P(G|M) = 1 - 0.60 = 0.40

P(NG|P) = 1 - P(G|M) = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90

So

$\\ P(NG) = 0.05*0.40 + 0.40*0.35 + 0.90*0.25$

$\\ P(NG) = 0.385\;or\; 38.5\%$

Which is equal to

P(NG) = 1 - P(G) = 1 - 0.615 = 0.385

Well, having all this information at hand:

$\\ P(M|NG) = \frac{P(NG|M)*P(M)}{P(NG)}$

$\\ P(M|NG) = \frac{0.40*0.35}{0.385}$

$\\ P(M|NG) = \frac{0.14}{0.385}$

$\\ P(M|NG) = 0.363636... \approx 0.364$

Then, the <em>probability that a new product does not attain a good review and it is a moderately successful product is about </em>0.364 or 36.4%.

A 3-gallon tub of ice cream yields about 90 scoops of ice cream. There are roughly 3785 cubic centimeters in 1 gallon. Determine

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The radius of the scoop is r = 3.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3 gallons yields 90 scoops, and 1 gallon = 3785 cm³.

3 gallons = 3 × 3785 cm³ = 11355 cm³

So we have 11355 cm³ in 3 gallons which is also the volume of 90 scoops.

Since 90 scoops = 11355 cm³, then

1 scoop = 11355 cm³/90 = 126.2 cm³

Now, if each scoop is a sphere, the volume is given by V = 4πr³/3 where r is the radius of the scoop. Since we need to find the radius of the scoop, r, making r subject of the formula, we have

r = ∛(3V/4π)

Substituting V = 126.2 cm³, we have

r = ∛(3× 126.2 cm³/4π)

= ∛(378.6 cm³/12.57)

= ∛30.13 cm³

= 3.1 cm

So, the radius of the scoop is r = 3.1 cm
