The "successful" area is half the size of the overall triangle, thus using the concept of similar triangles, the likelihood that the area of triangle XYD does not exceed 12 is 1/4.

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

By sketching the triangle on a grid paper and drawing a line through the 2 marker point from the XY side upwards towards YZ, it becomes clear that the distance from this marker point to the hypotenuse measures 8. Next, calculate the area of the smaller triangle with legs measuring 8 and 4 (as 6-2 equates to 4), resulting in an area of 16. Following that, compute the area of the larger triangle, which is 12x6/2=36. To derive the area of the quadrilateral located at the bottom of the larger triangle divided by the 2 marker point, subtract 16 from 36, yielding 20. Therefore, 20/36 simplifies to 5/9. That is my final result. I verified it, and it is accurate. I hope this clarifies things.

The line width of a tool used for semiconductor manufacturing is assumed to be normally distributed with a mean of 0.5 micromete
zzz [11820]

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
