The number of defective components produced by a certain process in one day has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 20. Each d

Kruka [31]

Answer:

The probability that exactly 15 defective components are produced in a particular day is 0.0516

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability function : $P(X=x)=e^{-\lambda} \frac{\lambda^x}{x!}$

We are given that The number of defective components produced by a certain process in one day has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 20.

So, $\lambda = 20$

we are supposed to find the probability that exactly 15 defective components are produced in a particular day

So,x = 15

Substitute the values in the formula :

$P(X=15)=e^{-20} \frac{20^{15}}{15!}$

$P(X=15)=e^{-20} \frac{20^{15}}{15!}$

$P(X=15)=0.0516$

Hence the probability that exactly 15 defective components are produced in a particular day is 0.0516

Which rule represents the translation from the pre-image, ΔABC, to the image, ΔA'B'C'?

kirill [66]

Answer:

From the figure, it can be seen that the mage A'B'C' is obtained from the pre-image ABC by translating/shifting the vertices of the image by 7 units to the right and 6 units down.

Therefore, the rule represents the translation from the pre-image, ΔABC, to the image, ΔA'B'C' is (x, y) → (x + 7, y – 6).

Given the image below, what is the image of C after a dilation with a scale factor of 3

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: The coordinates of point C after the dilation are (-2, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess that you want to find where the point C ends after the dilation.

Ok, if we have a point (x, y) and we do a dilation with a scale A around the point (a,b), then the dilated point will be:

(a + A*(x - a), b + A*(y - b))

In this case we have:

(a,b) = (2,1) and A = 3.

And the coordinates of point C, before being dilated, are: (1, 2)

Then the new location of the point C will be:

C' = (1 + 3*(1 - 2), 2 + 3*(2 - 1)) = (1 -3, 2 + 3) = (-2, 5)

Shota is a dangerous fellow who likes to go rock climbing in active volcanoes. One time, when he was 303030 meters below the edg

Alex

Answer:

5m/s;

6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Initial position = 30 m below

He climbed at a constant rate, and was 7.5 m below after 4.5 s.

Distance climbed or covered in 4.5 seconds :

(Initial position - current position)

(30 - 7. 5)m = 22.5 meters

Using the relation:

Speed = distance covered / time taken

Therefore,

Shota's speed = 22.5m / 4.5s = 5m/s

Time taken to reach edge of volcano :

Distance left to cover = 7.5m

Speed = 5m/s

Time required to cover remaining distance :

= distance / speed

= (7.5m ÷ 5m/s) = 1.5s

Total time to reach edge :

(4.5 + 1.5)s = 6 seconds

Marcie bought a total of 20 used books and cds during a yard sale for a total of 54.50$. of books cost 1.50$ each and cds 5$ eac

melomori [17]

Let numbers of books be 'b' and numbers of CDs be 'c'

We can set up two equations:
Equation [1] ⇒ $b+c=20$
Equation [2] ⇒ $1.50b+5c=54.50$

We are solving for the number of books and the number of CDs bought

When we have two equations in terms of two different variables; $b$ and $c$ , that we need to solve, then this becomes a simultaneous equation problem.

First, rearrange Equation [1] to make either $b$ or $c$ the subject:
$b+c=20$
$b=20-c$

Then we substitute $b=20-c$ into Equation [2]
$1.50b+5c=54.50$
$1.50(20-c)+5c=54.50$
$30-1.50c+5c=54.50$
$5c-1.5c=54.50-30$
$3.5c=24.50$
$c=7$

Now we know the value of $c$ which is $c=7$ , substitute this value into $b=20-c$ we have $b=20-7=13$

Answer:
Numbers of books = 13
Numbers of CDs = 7
