Computer keyboard failures are due to faulty electrical connects (12%) or mechanical defects (88%). Mechanical defects are relat

ed to loose keys (27%) or improper assembly (73%). Electrical connect defects are caused by defective wires (35%), improper connections (13%), or poorly welded wires (52%). a) Find the probability that a failure is due to loose keys. b) Find the probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires.

Answer:

Probability that a failure is due to loose keys = 0.2376

Probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires 0.078

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

P(A) = percentage of faulty electrical connections is 12% = 0.12

P(B) = mechanical defects is 88% = 0.88

P(C / B ) = percentage of defects that are related to loose keys is 27% = 0.27

P( D/B ) = improper assembly is 73% = 0.73

P(E/A) = defective wires is 35% = 0.35

P( F/A)= improper connections is 13% = 0.13

P( G/A ) = percentage of poorly welded wire is 52% = 0.52

a) Probability of being failure because of loose keys = 0.27\times 0.88 = 0.2376

b) Improperly connected = 0.13\times 0.12 = 0.0156

poorly welded wires= 0.52 \times 0.12 = 0.0624

Probability of being failure because of improperly connected or poorly welded wires = 0.0156 + 0.0624 = 0.078

Answer:

a) 23.76%

b) 7.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) probability that a failure is due to loose keys.

loose key failure (27%) comes under mechanical failure(88%)

hence, probability that a failure is due to loose keys= 0.27×0.88= 0.2376= 23.76%

b) probability that a failure is due to improperly connected wire which comes under electrical failure = 0.12×0.13

probability that a failure is due to poorly welded wires which comes under electrical failure= 0.52×0.12

now, the probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires. = 0.12(0.52+0.13)= 0.078= 7.8%

The center of a hyperbola is located at (0, 0). One focus is located at (0, 5) and its associated directrix is represented by th

Lady bird [3.3K]

For a hyperbola $\dfrac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}-\dfrac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$
where $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$
the directrix is the line $y=\dfrac{a^{2}}{c}$
and the focus is at (0, c).

Here, we have c = 5, a² = 9, so b² = 5² - 9 = 16.
a = √9 = 3
b = √16 = 4

Your hyperbola's constants are ...
a = 3
b = 4

______
Please note that the equation of a hyperbola has a negative sign for one of the terms. The equation given in your problem statement is that of an ellipse.

Mia enlarged a plan for an outdoor stage. The original plan is shown below. She dilated the outdoor stage by a scale factor of 4

garik1379 [7]

Since you didn't give the original picture, I can only explain the process. Then, you need to select the correct point.

In a dilation, we multiply the coordinates by the scale factor. Take the points that you have and multiply them all by 4. Then, look for a point making your new coordinates.

Find the area of quadrilateral ABCD. [Hint: the diagonal divides the quadrilateral into two triangles.]

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

B) 28.53 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal AD divides the quadrilateral in two triangles:

Triangle ABD
Triangle ACD

Area of Quadrilateral will be equal to the sum of Areas of both triangles.

i.e.

Area of ABCD = Area of ABD + Area of ACD

Area of Triangle ABD:

Area of a triangle is given as:

$Area = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height$

Base = AB = 2.89

Height = AD = 8.6

Using these values, we get:

$Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 2.89 \times 8.6 = 12.43$

Thus, Area of Triangle ABD is 12.43 square units

Area of Triangle ACD:

Base = AC = 4.3

Height = CD = 7.58

Using the values in formula of area, we get:

$Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 4.3 \times 7.58 = 16.30$

Thus, Area of Triangle ACD is 16.30 square units

Area of Quadrilateral ABCD:

The Area of the quadrilateral will be = 12.43 + 16.30 = 28.73 units²

None of the option gives the exact answer, however, option B gives the closest most answer. So I'll go with option B) 28.53 unit²

Find the sum of the first 63 terms of –19, -13, -7 …

boyakko [2]

The Given Sequence is an Arithmetic Sequence with First term = -19

⇒ a = -19

Second term is -13

We know that Common difference is Difference of second term and first term.

⇒ Common Difference (d) = -13 + 19 = 6

We know that Sum of n terms is given by : $S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n - 1)d)$

Given n = 63 and we found a = -19 and d = 6

$\implies S_6_3 = \frac{63}{2}(2(-19) + (63 - 1)6)$

$\implies S_6_3 = \frac{63}{2}(-38 + (62)6)$

$\implies S_6_3 = \frac{63}{2}(-38 + 372)$

$\implies S_6_3 = \frac{63}{2}(-38 + 372)$

$\implies S_6_3 = \frac{63}{2}(334)$

$\implies S_6_3 = {63}(167) = 10521$

The Sum of First 63 terms is 10521

the cost of an annual tuition at a university increased from 10,500 to 11,300 what is the percent increase in tuition to the nea

Maurinko [17]

Percent increase
find increase first
10500 to 11300
11300-10500=800
so
percent increase
change/original
origianal=10500
change=800
800/10500=8/105=0.0761
percent means parts out of 100
0.0761/1 times 100/100=7.61/100=7.61%

rond 7.61% to tenth or to 7.6%

7.6%
