If f(x) =[x] −2 + 8, what is f(−1.8)? 4 6 10 12

2 answers:

8 0

F(x) = [x] - 2 + 8
[x] is the notation for 'greatest integer function'
f(-1.8) = [-1.8] - 2 + 8 = -2 -2 + 8 = 4
The answer is 4

The number of flaws in a fiber optic cable follows a Poisson distribution. It is known that the mean number of flaws in 50m of c

boyakko [2]

Answer:

(a) The probability of exactly three flaws in 150 m of cable is 0.21246

(b) The probability of at least two flaws in 100m of cable is 0.69155

(c) The probability of exactly one flaw in the first 50 m of cable, and exactly one flaw in the second 50 m of cable is 0.13063

Step-by-step explanation:

A random variable X has a Poisson distribution and it is referred to as Poisson random variable if and only if its probability distribution is given by

$p(x;\lambda)=\frac{\lambda e^{-\lambda}}{x!}$ for x = 0, 1, 2, ...

where $\lambda$ , the mean number of successes.

(a) To find the probability of exactly three flaws in 150 m of cable, we first need to find the mean number of flaws in 150 m, we know that the mean number of flaws in 50 m of cable is 1.2, so the mean number of flaws in 150 m of cable is $1.2 \cdot 3 =3.6$

The probability of exactly three flaws in 150 m of cable is

$P(X=3)=p(3;3.6)=\frac{3.6^3e^{-3.6}}{3!} \approx 0.21246$

(b) The probability of at least two flaws in 100m of cable is,

we know that the mean number of flaws in 50 m of cable is 1.2, so the mean number of flaws in 100 m of cable is $1.2 \cdot 2 =2.4$

$P(X\geq 2)=1-P(X$

$P(X\geq 2)=1-p(0;2.4)-p(1;2.4)\\\\P(X\geq 2)=1-\frac{2.4^0e^{-2.4}}{0!}-\frac{2.4^1e^{-2.4}}{1!}\\\\P(X\geq 2)\approx 0.69155$

(c) The probability of exactly one flaw in the first 50 m of cable, and exactly one flaw in the second 50 m of cable is

$P(X=1)=p(1;1.2)=\frac{1.2^1e^{-1.2}}{1!}\\P(X=1)\approx 0.36143$

The occurrence of flaws in the first and second 50 m of cable are independent events. Therefore the probability of exactly one flaw in the first 50 m and exactly one flaw in the second 50 m is

$(0.36143)(0.36143) = 0.13063$

Elenna [48]

I will rewrite the question for better understanding:

Ashley recently opened a store that uses only natural ingredients. She wants to advertise her products by distributing bags of samples in her neighborhood. It takes Ashley 2/3 of a minute to prepare one bag. It takes each of her friends 75% longer to prepare a bag. How many hours will it take Ashley and 4 of her friends to prepare 1575 bags of samples?

Answer:

5.3 hours

Explanation:

1) Time it takes Ashley to preprate one bag:

2/3 min

2) Time it takes each friend of Ashley: 75% more than 2/3 min

75% × 2/3 min = 0.75 × 2/3 min = 3/4 × 2/3 min= 2/4 min = 1/2 min = 0.5 min

2/3 min + 1/2 min = 7/6 min

3) Time it takes Ashley and the 4 friends working along to prepare one bag:

Convert each time into a rate, since you can set that the total rate of Ashley along with her four friends is equal to the sum of each rate:

Rate of Ashley: 1 bag / (2/3) min = 3/2 bag/min

Rate of each friend: 1 bag / (7/6) min = 6/7 bag/min

Rate of Ashley and 4 friends = 3/2 bag/min + 4 × 6/7 bag/min = (3/2 +24/7) bag/min = 69/14 bag/min

4) Time of prepare 1575 bags of samples:

time = number of bags / number of bags per min = 1,575 bags / (69/14) bags/min = 319.56 min

5) Convert minutes to hours:

356.56 min × 1 hour / 60 min = 5.3 hours

The builder receives a 20% contractor's discount, plus and additional 3% for paying in full within 30 days. Tax on building mate

erastova [34]

Answer:

$1340.49

Step-by-step explanation:

From the attached image

Subtotal Cost of Purchased Items

$= (20 \times 16.69)+(2 \times 20.78)+(2 \times 15.58)+(6 \times 21.38)\\+(118 \times 6.60)+(500 \times 0.22)+(10 \times 8.44)+(1 \times 150)\\\\=\$1658$

Since the builder receives a 20% contractor's discount, plus and additional 3% for paying in full within 30 days.

Discount = 23% of $1658 = 0.23 X 1658 =$381.34

Total (Less Discount) = 1658-381.34 = $1276.66

Tax on building materials is 5%.

Therefore:

Tax = 5% of $1276.66=0.05 X 1276.66

Tax=$63.83

Therefore, the total bill:

=$1276.66+63.83

Grand Total =$1340.49
