Two on and off valves are in parallel and act independently. They control the fluid that flowsthrough the pipe. Suppose that valve A has a 60% chance of being off and a 40% chance ofbeing on. Valve B has a 40% chance of being off and a 60% chance of being on.ADetermine the probability that fluid flows through the pipe.Choices: 1, 0.76, 0.64, 0.36, 0.24, 0.16Determine the probability that flue will not flow through the pipe.Choices: 1, 0.76, 0.64, 0.36, 0.24, 0.16

A well-known maker of jams and jellies packages its jams in jars labeled "~250 milliliters."

Two archers will simultaneously shoot once at a target. Let Xi , i = 1, 2, be marksman i's horizontal error, measured in meters. If the target's position is (a, b), and marksman i's shot ends up at (x, y), then Xi = (x - a). These errors are modeled by X1 ~ N(0, 0.5) and X2 ~ N(0, 1). What is the probability that both shots will be within 1 meter of the target, in the horizontal direction?
A varsity football player successfully scores 84% of all the field goals he kicks during in-season games. Assume each kick is independent of the others. c) Suppose that the varsity football player is unable to play for several weeks due to an injury. When he returned, he only scores 5 field goals in his next 10 kicks. Is this evidence that his success rate is now less than 84%? Explain.
One way to measure the water content of a soil is to weigh the soil both before and after drying it in an oven. The water content is W = (M1 − M2)/M1, where M1 is the mass before drying and M2 is the mass after drying. Assume that M1 = 1.32 ± 0.01 kg and M2 = 1.04 ±0.01 kg.a) Estimate W, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.b) Which would provide a greater reduction in the uncertainty in W: reducing the uncertainty in M1 to 0.005 kg or reducing the uncertainty in M2 to 0.005 kg?
A biologist looked at the relationship between number of seeds a plant produces and the percent of those seeds that sprout. The results of the survey are shown below. Seeds Produced 63 63 58 62 60 42 69 Sprout Percent 69.1 54.1 57.6 55.4 55 77.4 55.3 r2 = ? (Round to 3decimal places) Interpret r2 : Given any group of plants that all produce the same number of seeds, 57% of all of these plants will produce seeds with the same chance of sprouting. 57% of all plants produce seeds whose chance of sprouting is the average chance of sprouting. There is a 57% chance that the regression line will be a good predictor for the percent of seeds that sprout based on the number of seeds produced. There is a large variation in the percent of seeds that sprout, but if you only look at plants that produce a fixed number of seeds, this variation on average is reduced by 57%. choose 1 corect answer above The equation of the linear regression line is: ˆy^ = ? +? x (Please show…
