Answer:

0.96% probability that the 5th item inspected is the first defective item found

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

1% probability that an item is defective.

99% probability that an item is not defective.

What is the probability that the 5th item inspected is the first defective item found?

First four not defective, with a 99% probability.

Fifth defective, with a 1% probability. So

P = (0.99)^{4}*0.01 = 0.0096

0.96% probability that the 5th item inspected is the first defective item found

How is multiplying rational numbers like multiplying integers
Anna [14]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

See Discussion below

Discussion:

Let  a/b and c/d be rational numbers we wish to multiply. Then

(a/b) * (c/d) = (a*c)/(b*d)


The numerator (a*c) is the product of two integers ( a and c) and the  denominator (b*d) is also ( b and d). In that way  multiplying rational numbers is like multiplying integers.


Thank you,

MrB

Point L is on line segment KM
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

KL = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Point L is on the line segment KM.

We have, KM=5x+10, LM=4x, and KL=3x

ATQ,

KM = KL + LM

Putting all the values, we get :

5x+10=3x+4x

5x+10 = 7x

Taking like terms together

5x-7x=-10

-2x=-10

x=5

Put x = 5 in KL = 3x

KL = 3(5) = 15

So, the value of length KL is 15.

Even though the population standard deviation is unknown, an investigator uses z rather than the more appropriate t to test a hy
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

a) The level of significance is large because here z is not appropriate.

b) The true critical value is larger than z because the level of significance is large.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Based on the question under consideration, the true level of significance is larger than .05 level of significance is large, the reason being that z is not appropriate in this case.

b) The true critical value is larger than that of the critical z, this is because the level of significance is large.

t* in P(T > t*) = 0.975 is more than z* = 1.96 in P(z> z*) =0.975
