Answer:

Age of Alice=25 years

Age of Jane=20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the age of Jane is 80 % of the age Alice.

We have to find the age of Jane and Alice.

Let x be the age of Alice

According to question

Age of Jane=80% of Alice=80% of x= $\frac{80}{100}\times x=\frac{4x}{5}$

$x+\frac{4x}{5}=45$

$\frac{5x+4x}{5}=45$

$\frac{9x}{5}=45$

$x=\frac{45\times 5}{9}=25$

Age of Alice=25 years

Age of Jane= $\frac{4}{5}\times 25=20 years$

Age of Jane=20 years

Nuetrik [128]

Let p be 0.831 denote the percentage of defective welds and q be 0.169 denote the percentage of non-defective welds.

Using the binomial distribution, we want all three to be defective.
$P(X = 3) = \binom{3}{3}(p)^{3}{q}^{3 - 3}$
$P(X = 3) = \binom{3}{3}(0.831)^{3}(1)$
$P(X = 3) = (0.831)^{3} \approx 0.573856191$
