Find the area of the unfolded box bottom.

At an ocean-side nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. This raises the temperature of the water t

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

(a1) The probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.

(a2) The probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.

(b) The probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.

(c) The expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = temperature increase.

The random variable X follows a continuous Uniform distribution, distributed over the range [10°C, 25°C].

The probability density function of X is:

$f(X)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{25-10}=\frac{1}{15};\ x\in [10, 25]} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.$

(a1)

Compute the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C as follows:

$P(X$

Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.

(a2)

Compute the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C as follows:

$P(20$

Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.

(b)

Compute the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous as follows:

$P(X>18)=\int\limits^{25}_{18}{\frac{1}{15}}\, dx\\=\frac{1}{15}\int\limits^{25}_{18}{dx}\,\\=\frac{1}{15}[x]^{25}_{18}=\frac{1}{15}[25-18]=\frac{7}{15}\\=0.467$

Thus, the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.

(c)

Compute the expected value of the uniform random variable X as follows:

$E(X)=\frac{1}{2}[10+25]=\frac{35}{2}=17.5$

Thus, the expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.

Find the indicated values: Given: OA=AC=2 AB is a tangent line Find: AB

nlexa [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

OA=AC=OC=2 (equal triangle)

which means angle O =60 degree

tan 60 = AB / 2

AB = 2 tan 60 =

H is directly proportional to the square root of p h= 5.4 when p = 1.44 find h when p =2.89

LenKa [72]

Answer:

h=7.65

Step-by-step explanation:

H is directly proportional to the square root of p;

Let k be the constant of proportionality;

Means h=k√p

This means for corresponding points of h and p such that (h1,p1) and (h2,p2) we have;

h1/√p1=h2/√p2

Let h= 5.4 when p = 1.44 and h when p =2.89 be respectively (h1,p1) and (h2,p2)

So that

5.4/√1.44=h/√2.89

5.4/√1.44 ×√2.89 = h

7.65= h

h=7.65

The function f(t) represents the cost to connect to the Internet at an online gaming store. It is a function of t, the time in m

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Any amount of time over an hour and a half would cost $10.

Step-by-step explanation:

f (t), when t is a value between 0 and 30

The cost is US$ 0 for the first 30 minutes

f (t), when t is a value between 30 and 90

The cost is US$ 5 if the connection takes between 30 and 90 minutes

f (t), when t is a value greater than 90

The cost is US$ 10 if the connection takes more than 90 minutes

According to these costs, statements A, B and C are incorrect. The connection doesn't cost US$ 5 per hour like statement A affirms, the cost of the connection isn't US$ 5 per minute after the first 30 minutes free as statement B affirms and neither it costs US$ 10 for every 90 minutes of connection, as statement C affirms. The only one that is correct is D, because any amount of time greater than 90 minutes actually costs US$ 10.
