About ten percent of users do not close Windows properly. Suppose that Windows is installed in a public library that is used by

random people in a random order. (a) On the average, how many users of this computer do not close Windows properly before someone does close it properly? (b) What is the probability that exactly 8 of the next 10 users will close Windows properly?

Answer:

Refer to the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

As approximately 10% of users fail to close Windows properly, we determine:

  • The likelihood that a user neglects to shut down Windows correctly is p=0.1;
  • The likelihood that a user shuts the Windows properly is q=1-p=1-0.1=0.9.

A. On average,

  • one in ten users does not close Windows correctly;
  • 10 out of 100 users fail to close Windows correctly.

B. The likelihood that precisely 8 out of the next 10 users will close Windows correctly is

C^{10}_8\cdot q^{8}p^{10-8}=\dfrac{10!}{8!(10-8)!}\cdot (0.9)^8\cdot (0.1)^2=45\cdot (0.9)^8\cdot (0.1)^2\approx 0.1937

The length of a pencil is measured with two rulers. Report the length of the pencil from each ruler with the proper number of di
babunello [11817]

Answer

Length measured with Ruler A= 1.17 dm

Length measured with Ruler B= 1.18 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

I included a missing image that shows the pencil's length as measured using two rulers.

Ruler A has a scale marked at 1 dm intervals.

Ruler B has a scale marked at 0.1 dm intervals.

Length measured with Ruler A= 1.17 dm

(The middle markings reveal that the pencil tip lies between 1 and 1.25, slightly above 1.125 but below 1.25, positioning it around 1.2 and 1.125 dm, approximately half of 1.25, which is 1.125, plus an increment of one of the three halves of that half, which gives 1.125+0.045 dm thus concluding to 1.17 dm.)

Length measured with Ruler B= 1.18 dm

(The pencil tip appears just shy of 1.2 dm, confirming the precise value is clearly 1.18 and not 1.19 dm.)

Tip: When unsure about the exact measure, it’s advisable to estimate one extra decimal beyond what the ruler presents.

Customer: “What can I do to decrease my bill by $25.00 per month?”
Inessa [12570]
The customer’s monthly bill approximately amounts to $35.70. By multiplying 35.70 by 0.70 (30% as a decimal), you find 24.99, which is the target amount he aims for now.

Find the average value of the function f(x, y, z) = 5x2z 5y2z over the region enclosed by the paraboloid z = 4 − x2 − y2 and the
Leona [12618]
The paraboloid intersects the x-y plane when x²+y²=9, defining a circle with a radius of 3, centered at the origin.

<span>Utilizing cylindrical coordinates (r,θ,z), the paraboloid transforms into z = 9−r² and f = 5r²z. </span>

<span>If F represents the average of f over the area R then F ∫ (R)dV = ∫ (R)fdV </span>

<span>∫ (R)dV = ∫∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3, z=0,9−r²] rdrdθdz </span>

<span>= ∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3] r(9−r²)drdθ = ∫ [θ=0,2π] { (9/2)3² − (1/4)3⁴} dθ = 81π/2 </span>


<span>∫ (R)fdV = ∫∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3, z=0,9−r²] 5r²z.rdrdθdz </span>

<span>= 5∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3] ½r³{ (9−r²)² − 0 } drdθ </span>

<span>= (5/2)∫∫ [θ=0,2π, r=0,3] { 81r³ − 18r⁵ + r⁷} drdθ </span>

<span>= (5/2)∫ [θ=0,2π] { (81/4)3⁴− (3)3⁶+ (1/8)3⁸} dθ = 10935π/8 </span>

<span>Thus, F = 10935π/8 ÷ 81π/2 = 135/4</span>

Andy is solving a quadratic equation using completing the square. If a step in the process results in StartFraction 169 Over 9 E
Zina [12379]

Answer:

Indeed, the equation is solvable by factoring. By applying the given equation, you can take the square root of both sides. Since both 169 and 9 are perfect squares, the left-hand side simplifies to plus or minus 13/3, producing rational results. Adding 6 to 13/3 yields a rational number while subtracting it does too. Thus, a quadratic equation is factorable if its solutions are rational.
