A tire company produced a batch of 6 comma 700 tires that includes exactly 250 that are defective.
mezya [45]

the probability that if you pick only one, it's defective, is 250/6700

Therefore, the probability that one is not defective is 6450/6700

a. You want all 4 to not be defective: (6450/6700)^4

b. all 100 have to be not defective: (6450/6700)^100

If you type this into a calculator, you will get about 0.022, so a probability of 2 % that all of them are not defective. As this is a very small probability, the outlet should plan with returned tires.

The value of y varies directly as the square of x and y=27 when x=9. Find the equation represents this relationship. Report the
skad [1K]

Answer:

The relation between x and y is

y=\frac13 x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The value of y varies directly as the square of x.

y\propto x^2

\Rightarrow y=rx^2

where r is constant of proportional.

Given that,

y= 27 and x=9

Plug y= 27 and x=9 in above relation

y=rx^2

\therefore 27=r(9)^2

\Rightarrow 27 = r.81

\Rightarrow r=\frac{27}{81}

\Rightarrow r=\frac{1}{3}

The relation between x and y is

y=\frac13 x^2
