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.

A point x is 34m due to east of a point Y . The bearing of a flagpole from x and Y are N18°W And N40°E respectively .
Inessa [12570]
The distance from point Y to the flag post measures 38.13 m. Step-by-step explanation: Assuming point Y is located at the intersection of both lines shown. Point X is positioned 34 meters east of point Y. The flagpole at point X is observed at a bearing of N18°W, meaning it creates an angle of 18° to the west from the north at point X. Conversely, at point Y, the flagpole has a bearing of N40°E, which makes a 40° angle towards the east from the north. Considering ∆ AXY as a right triangle, the angle FXY is established. Then, concerning ∆ BYX as another right triangle, the angle FYX is also determined. To find the third angle ∠YFX in triangle FYX, the angle sum property of triangles can be applied: ∠YFX + ∠FYX + ∠FXY = 180° Thus, we have: ∠YFX + 50° + 72° = 180° leading to ∠YFX = 58°. Now we can calculate the distance FY using the sine rule.

A manufacturer of a certain brand of appliance estimates that he can sell 5000 units a year at Php 900.00 each and that he can s
lawyer [12517]

To start, calculate the return for each price per unit

Return = quantity sold x price per unit

Return1 = 5000 units x Php 900

Return1 = Php 4,500,000

Next, figure out the return for the other price per unit

Return2 = quantity sold x price per unit

Return2 = (5000 + 1500 units) x ( Php 900 – 100)

Return2 = Php 5,200,000

Thus, a price of Php 800 per unit will result in a higher return.

For three consecutive years, Sam invested some money at the start of the year. The first year, he invested x dollars. The second
AnnZ [12381]

Let’s define x as the amount invested by Sam in the first year.
Here are the corresponding expressions derived from the provided descriptions for Sam's investments.

For Sam:
2nd year: investment = 5x/2 - 2000
3rd year: investment = x/5 + 1000

The total Sam invested is:
x + (5x/2 - 2000) + (x/5 + 1000)

Next, we can form the expressions for Sally’s investments.
For Sally
1st year: investment = 3x/2 - 1000
2nd year: investment = 2x - 1500
3rd year: investment = x/4 + 1400

Thus, Sally's total investment is,
total = (3x/2 - 1000) + (2x - 1500) + (x/4 + 1400)

Setting both totals equal gives us:
(x) + (5x/2 - 2000) + (x/5 + 1000) = (3x/2 - 1000) + (2x - 1500) + (x/4 + 1400)

Solving for x,
x = 2000
For Sally's investment for the third year:
investment = x/4 + 1400 = (2000/4 + 1400) = 1900

RESULTS:
Sam's first year = $2000
Sally's third year = $1900
