The time between failures for an electrical appliance is exponentially distributed with a mean of 25 months. What is the probabi

Answer:

The likelihood that a failure will not take place within the next 30 months is 0.0454.

Step-by-step explanation:

We employ a Poisson distribution where:

t = time units

x = occurrences during t units

λ = average occurrences per unit of time

P(x;λt) = e raised to the power of (-λt) multiplied by λtˣ divided by x!

Here, λt equals 25.

x equals 30.

P(x= 30) = 25³⁰e⁻²⁵/ 30!

P (x= 30) = 8.67 E41 * 1.3887 E-11/30!    (where E signifies exponent)

P (x=30) = 1.204 E31/30!

Utilizing a statistical calculator will yield:

P (x=30) = 0.0454

The probability that the next failure will not occur prior to 30 months is 0.0454.

Chiang is filling a 50ft container with water at a rate of 0.5 ft/ min. interpret the key features for this situation
Leona [4166]

Answer:

The main aspects are

50ft³ = volume

0.5ft³/min = filling rate

Time= 100 minutes

Step-by-step breakdown:

Chiang is in the process of filling a 50ft container with water at a speed of 0.5 ft/min.

50ft³ = volume

0.5ft³/min = flow rate

It’s important to note that we still need to determine how long it will take to fill the 50 ft³ container.

Time = volume / rate

Time = 50 ft³ / 0.5 ft³/min

Time = 50 / 0.5 min

Time = 100 min

The main aspects are

50ft³ = volume

0.5ft³/min = filling rate

Time= 100 minutes

The line width of a tool used for semiconductor manufacturing is assumed to be normally distributed with a mean of 0.5 micromete
zzz [4022]

Answer:

a. 0.82%

b. 71.11%

c. 0.564 micrometer

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the z value for each measurement, we must calculate and determine the percentage they correspond to, and the difference will give us the percentage between those two statistics.

The equation for z is:

z = (x - m) / (sd)

Here, x is the value being evaluated, m denotes the mean, and sd represents the standard deviation.

a.

For 0.62 copies, we calculate:

z = (0.62 - 0.5) / (0.05)

z = 2.4

This translates to 0.9918.

Therefore, p (x > 0.62) = 1 - 0.9918

p (x > 0.62) =  0.0082 = 0.82%

b.

For 0.47 copies, we have:

z = (0.47 - 0.5) / (0.05)

z = -0.6, which equates to 0.2742.

For 0.63 copies:

z = (0.63 - 0.5) / (0.05)

z = -2.6, which yields 0.9953.

Hence, p (0.47 > x > 0.63) = 0.9953 - 0.2742

p (0.47 > x > 0.63) = 0.7211 = 72.11 %

c.

For x copies, we find:

p = 0.9 corresponds to z = 1.28.

Thus, 1.28 = (x - 0.5) / (0.05)

From which we derive:

x = 1.28*0.05 + 0.5

x = 0.564 micrometer

Coffee with sugar and milk added to it can contain up to calories. To consume a maximum of 600 mg if caffeine per day, how many
Leona [4166]
Each 16-ounce serving contains 330 mg of caffeine. For 8-ounce servings:
330 mg divided by 2 equals 165 mg.
The limit for caffeine intake is capped at 600 mg.
Calculating for three servings: 165 mg * 3 = 495 mg, which is under the limit.
Calculating for four servings: 165 mg * 4 = 660 mg, exceeding the maximum amount.
Thus, a person can consume 3 full 8-ounce servings daily while remaining within the safety limit.

Identify the equation of the circle that has its center at (-27, 120) and passes through the origin.
zzz [4022]

The equation representing the circle centered at (-27, 120) that passes through the origin is:

(x + 27)^2 + (y - 120)^2 = 15129

Solution:

The general equation of a circle is expressed as:

(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2

Where,

(a, b) denotes the center of the circle

r signifies the radius

Given the center as (-27, 120)

Thus;

a = -27

b = 120

Considering it intersects the origin, meaning (x, y) = (0, 0)

Substituting (a, b) = (-27, 120) and (x, y) = (0, 0) into the equation

(0 + 27)^2 + (0 - 120)^2 = r^2\\\\729 + 14400 = r^2\\\\r^2 = 15129

Input r^2 = 15129 and (a, b) = (-27, 120) into the equation

(x + 27)^2 + (y - 120)^2 = 15129

Hence, the equation characterizing the circle is determined

Oscar rides his skateboard 5/8 mile in 1/4 hour. How fast, in miles per hour, does he ride his skateboard?
Inessa [3907]

Answer:

The speed is 2 1/2 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the rate, divide the distance by the time taken.

5/8 mile ÷ 1/4 hour

Applying the copy dot flip method:

5/8 * 4/1

Gives us 5/2 miles per hour.

Which simplifies to 2 1/2 miles per hour.
