Answer:

60% of the total people surveyed were satisfied with the car.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people surveyed = 2,600

Number of people who owned a certain type of car

said they would buy it again = 1,560

or, the total number of people who were satisfied with that car = 1,560

Now, $\textrm{Percentage of satisfied customers} = \frac{\textrm{Total number of satisfied customer}}{\textrm{Total surveyed customer}} \times 100$

= $\frac{2,600}{1,560} \times 100 = 60$

or, the percentage of satisfied customer = 60%

Hence, 60% of the people surveyed were satisfied with the car.

11B. Long Beach Towing Company charges $40 plus $5 per mile to

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The charges will be the same after 10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Long Beach Towing Company:

Charges $40 plus $5 per mile. So after x miles, the charge will be of:

$L(x) = 40 + 5x$

Five-Star Towing Company:

Chargers of $70 plus $2 per mile. So after x miles, the charge will be of:

$F(x) = 70 + 2x$

After how many miles the charges for the two companied will be the same?

This is x for which:

$L(x) = F(x)$

$40 + 5x = 70 + 2x$

$5x - 2x = 70 - 40$

$3x = 30$

$x = \frac{30}{3}$

$x = 10$

The charges will be the same after 10 miles.

Assuming the incident of fires for individual reactors can be described by a Poisson distribution, what is the probability that

Maksim231197 [3]

Complete Question

The Brown's Ferry incident of 1975 focused national attention on the ever-present danger of fires breaking out in nuclear power plants. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has estimated that with present technology there will be on average, one fire for every 10 years for a reactor. Suppose that a certain state has two reactors on line in 2020 and they behave independently of one another. Assuming the incident of fires for individual reactors can be described by a Poisson distribution, what is the probability that by 2030 at least two fires will have occurred at these reactors?

Answer:

The value is $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 )= 0.5940$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The rate at which fire breaks out every 10 years is $\lambda = 1$

Generally the probability distribution function for Poisson distribution is mathematically represented as

$P(x) = \frac{\lambda^x}{ k! } * e^{-\lambda}$

Here x represent the number of state which is 2 i.e $x_1 \ \ and \ \ x_2$

Generally the probability that by 2030 at least two fires will have occurred at these reactors is mathematically represented as

$P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - P(x_1 + x_2 \le 1 )$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - [P(x_1 + x_2 = 0 ) + P( x_1 + x_2 = 1 )]$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - [ P(x_1 = 0 , x_2 = 0 ) + P( x_1 = 0 , x_2 = 1 ) + P(x_1 , x_2 = 0)]$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - P(x_1 = 0)P(x_2 = 0 ) + P( x_1 = 0 ) P( x_2 = 1 )+ P(x_1 = 1 )P(x_2 = 0)$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - \{ [ \frac{1^0}{ 0! } * e^{-1}] * [[ \frac{1^0}{ 0! } * e^{-1}]] )+ ( [ \frac{1^1}{1! } * e^{-1}] * [[ \frac{1^1}{ 1! } * e^{-1}]] ) + ( [ \frac{1^1}{ 1! } * e^{-1}] * [[ \frac{1^0}{ 0! } * e^{-1}]]) \}$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 )= 1- [[0.3678 * 0.3679] + [0.3678 * 0.3679] + [0.3678 * 0.3679] ]$

$P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 )= 0.5940$

Determine all the unknown values of the figure below.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

F=10, S=26

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the base is 24. Using that information, 10^2+24^2=26^2 which is a pythagorean triple

A triangle has one leg that measures 14 feet and the hypotenuse is 50 feet. What is the length of the other leg?

Aliun [14]

Ok so we are using the Pythagorean theorem so were gonna do A^2 + B^2 = C^2

It don't say which leg we have so you can use either a or b.
Which would get us 14^2 + B^2 = 50^2
14*14 =196 , 50 *50 =2500
Then we have to subtract the two.
So 2500 - 196 = 2,304
Then you take the take the square root of that answer and you have your other leg.
The square root of 2,304 is 48
So the missing leg = 48
