We are given the following information concerning the three production machines;

\begin{gathered} Of\text{ the total production;} \\ A=55\text{ \%}=0.55 \\ B=25\text{ \%}=0.25 \\ C=20\text{ \%}=0.20 \end{gathered}

Also, we are given the percentage of defective output as follows;

\begin{gathered} A=3.5\text{ \%}=0.035 \\ B=4.5\text{ \%}=0.045 \\ C=5.5\text{ \%}=0.055 \end{gathered}

Therefore, if an item is selected randomly, the probability that the item is defective would be;

\begin{gathered} P\lbrack defective\rbrack=(0.55\times0.035)+(0.25\times0.045)+(0.20\times0.055) \\ P\lbrack\text{defective\rbrack}=0.01925+0.01125+0.011 \\ P\lbrack\text{defective\rbrack}=0.0415 \end{gathered}

ANSWER:

The probability that the item is defective would be 0.0415

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Do you want to know the surface area of the triangle or the perimeter of the triangle?

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are looking for the Surface area, plug your numbers in this formula: SA=(p x h)/(2) + B where SA is the surface area of the pyramid, p is the perimeter of the base, h is the slant height of the pyramid, and B is the area of the base.

William made 100 cupcakes this week. He baked 4 more than three times the total she made last week. Write an equation to find ou
evablogger [386]
I believe the answer is B.

It says that he made 100 cupcakes so we know that the total is 100. It says he baked 4 more than so that means that we are adding 4 to some value. It also says that he baked 3 times the total of cupcakes he made last week. Since the total for last week is unknown, we can express that as x.

So, your equation would be 3x+4=100.

Hope this helps!
