Answer:

a. 1/10 or 10%

b. 1/2 or 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the combination of machines 1, 2 and 3 produce 100% of the total output when added together, then the probability of choosing a bolt at random that is defective is: 5 + 2 + 3 = 10% out of 100% or 10/100, which is 1/10 or 10%.

If the bolt that is choosen at random is defective, than the probability that it came from machine 1 is 5/10 or 1/2 which is also 50%.

Use the given graph to determine the limit, if it exists. (4 points)
skelet666 [1.2K]
<h3>Answer:  3</h3>

Explanation:

Refer to the graph below. It should be similar to what your teacher gave you, based off the description.

Since we're approaching 3 from the right side, this means we'll be working with the horizontal line portion. We could start at something like x = 3.2 and move closer to 3 by getting to x = 3.1 then x = 3.01 then x = 3.001 and so on. We never actually get to 3 itself.

As x gets closer to 3 from this direction, the y values are approaching 3 since every point on this horizontal line has the same y coordinate. Technically the y value is already at 3, but it's the same idea.

In terms of notation, we can write \displaystyle \lim_{x\to3^{+}}f(x) = 3

The portion x \to 3^{+} means we're approaching 3 from the positive side, aka the right hand side on the number line.

The U.S. Senate has 100 members. After a certain election, there were 4 more Democrats than Republicans, with no other parties r
kakasveta [241]

Let x = # of Republicans

x + 4 = # of Democrats

x + x + 4 = 100

x = 48

48 + 4 = 52

There are 52 Democrats and 48 Republicans.
