Well, is just their difference, let's first convert the mixed fraction to "improper" and then subtract.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{1\frac{1}{8}}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 8+1}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{9}{8}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{9}{8}-\cfrac{3}{4}\impliedby \textit{our LCD is then 8}\implies \cfrac{(1\cdot 9)~~-~~(2\cdot 3)}{8}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{9-6}{8}\implies \cfrac{3}{8}

In a random sample of 200 cars of a particular model,
Aleks04 [339]

By using proportions, We expect 150 defects out of the 10,000 cars if the 3 defects out of the 200 cars sampled is representative of all 10,000 cars.

Option A is correct.

First, let's set up the proportions.

A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.

We have 3/200 cars with defects and we want to know X for X/10000.

So 3/200 = X/10000

Now solve for X.

3/200 = X/10000

X = \frac{3}{200} \times 10000

X = 150

So the answer is: We expect 150 defects out of the 10,000 cars if the 3 defects out of the 200 cars sampled is representative of all 10,000 cars.

Option A is correct.

There are a rack of 14 billiard balls. Balls numbered 1 through 8 are solid-colored. Balls numbered 9 through 14 contain stripes
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

3/7  /    42.8% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 striped balls (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) and 8 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) solid colored balls. So, 6 / 14 balls are striped.

(6 / 14  = 3 / 7)

this means that the probability of a ball being striped has the odds of 3/7

(3/7 = about 42.8% chance)
