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

The sum of the real numbers x and y is 25. their difference is 13z what is the value of xy
nataly862011 [7]

The value of xy is 114 which is a real number.

real numbers are all numbers/points that exist at the variety line.real numbers may be divided into the following divisions:Rational numbers; any range which may be written within the form ofin which p and q are co-prime integer numbers , are called rational numbers. Irrational numbers ; all numbers which cannot be written as a simple fraction is referred to as irrational numbers.

Given two real numbers x and y . Let us consider x < y.

According to the question their sum is 25.

\therefore x+y=25.............(i)

The difference of the numbers is 13.

\therefore x-y=13 ...........(ii)

Now we have to solve the simultaneous equation:

adding equations (i) and (ii) we get:

x+y=25\\\underline{x-y=13}\\\\2x=38\\or,x=19

Substituting the value x=19 into equation (i) we get:

x+y=25\\or,19+y=25\\or,y=25-19\\or,y=6

Now let us find the product xy

xy=19\times 6\\or,xy=114

The product xy is 114 which is also a real number.
