The Breaker's Manufacturing Company makes 80% of a particular sensor, the Cartin Company makes 15% of them, and the Flutes Compa

ny makes the other 5%. The sensors made by Breaker's have a 4% defect rate, the Cartin sensors have a 6% defect rate, and the Flutes sensors have a 9% defect rate. If a sensor is randomly selected from the general population of all sensors, what is the probability that it is defective, given that it was made by Breaker’s?
a: 0.04
b: 0.05
c: 0.15
d: 0.80

The defect rate of a company is equal to the probability of a randomly selected sensor from that company being defective. 

Breaker's has a 4% defect rate, so the probability that a Breaker's sensor being defective is 4%, or 0.04. 

The answer is A) 0.04

In a sample of 100 steel canisters, the mean wall thickness was 8.1 mm with a standard deviation of 0.5 mm. Someone says that th
Travka [436]

Answer:

This statement can be made with a level of confidence of 97.72%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 8.1 mm

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.5 mm

Sample size, n = 100

We are given that the distribution of thickness is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Standard error due to sampling:

=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{0.5}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.05

P(mean thickness is less than 8.2 mm)

P(x < 8.2)

P( x < 8.2)\\\\ = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{8.2 - 8.1}{0.05})\\\\ = P(z < 2)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x < 8.2) =0.9772 = 97.72\%

This statement can be made with a level of confidence of 97.72%.

If cos(t) = 2/7 and t is in the 4th quadrant, find sin(t).
Yuliya22 [10]
We can use the Pythagorean Trigonometric Identity which says:
sin^2(t)+cos^2(t)=1

Since we need to find sin(t), we have to solve for it:
sin(t)= \sqrt{1-cos^2(t)}

Let's plug in the given cos(t) value:
sin(t) = \sqrt{1-cos^2( \frac{2}{7})}

And solve sin(t):
sin(t) = \sqrt{1- \frac{4}{49} } = \frac{x}{y} \sqrt{ \frac{49}{49}- \frac{4}{49} }

Simplify further:
sin(t) = \sqrt{ \frac{45}{49} } = \frac{ \sqrt{45} }{7} = \frac{ \sqrt{9*5} }{7}

And it all simplifies down to:
sin(t) = \frac{3 \sqrt{5} }{7}

Since it's in the 4th quadrant, the sin(t) value is going to be negative. So, your final answer is: 
sin(t) = - \frac{ 3\sqrt{5} }{7}

Hope this helps!

James and his family spend a morning picking peaches. They fill several bags. This line plot shows the weight of each bag.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to figure out the lightest and the heaviest bad. The lightest bag is 4 1/4 and the heaviest is 5 3/4. Now to subtract, you can't subtract this as a mixed fraction so turn each fraction into an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number by the denominator then adding the numerator to the product of the whole number multiplied  by the denominator (if you didn't know numerator is the top and the denominator is the bottom. To find out 4 1/4 as an improper fraction follow these steps (4*4+1=17) so 4 1/4=17/4. The process is the same for 5 3/4 (5*4+3=23) so   5 3/4= 23/4. Now to subtract, you subtract the numerator but not the denominator. You subtract because the question asks how many more and that means to subtract 23/4-17/4= 6/4. Last step is to turn this back into a mixed fraction do that by dividing the numerator by the denominator, 6 divided by 4 equals 1.5 and turn the decimal into a fraction 1 is a whole number so you don't  change that but the 5 behind the decimal needs to be changed so now 1.5= 1 5/10 and last step is simplify 1 1/2. Hope this helped :).
