A product is made up of three parts that act independently of each other. If any of the parts is defective, the product is defec

tive. Part one is defective 5% of the time, part two is defective 10% of the time, and part three is defective 15% of the time. Find the probability of a defective product.

Answer: Probability of defective product is 0.00075.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of getting defective in part one = 5%

Probability of getting defective in part two = 10%

Probability of getting defective in part three = 15%

Since they are independent of each other.

So, Probability of a defective product is given by

P(One)\times P(Two)\times P(Three)\\\\=0.05\times 0.10\times 0.15\\\\=0.00075

Hence, Probability of defective product is 0.00075.

Answer:

The probability that a product is defective is 0.2733.

Step-by-step explanation:

A product consists of 3 parts. If any one of the part is defective the whole product is considered as defective.

The probability of the 3 parts being defective are:

P (Part 1 is defective) = 0.05

P (part 2 is defective) = 0.10 P (part 3 is defective) = 0.15

Compute the probability that a product is defective as follows:

P (Defective product) = 1 - P (non-defective product)

= 1 - P (None of the 3 parts are defective)

= 1 - P (Part 1 not defective) × P (Part 2 not defective) × P (Part 1 not defective)

=1-[(1-0.05)\times(1-0.10)\times (1-0.15)]\\=1-[0.95\times0.90\times0.85]\\=1-0.72675\\=0.27325\\\approx0.2733

Thus, the probability that a product is defective is 0.2733.

6 high school seniors choose from among 20 quotes for their yearbook. What is the probability that at least 2 of them choose the
shusha [124]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0328 = 3.28% probability that at least 2 of them choose the same quote.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem, we have that:

  • There are 6 students, hence n = 6.
  • There are 20 quotes, hence the probability of each being chosen is p = 1/20 = 0.05.

The probability of one quote being chosen at least two times is given by:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1).

Then:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.05)^{0}.(0.95)^{6} = 0.7351

P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.05)^{1}.(0.95)^{5} = 0.2321

Then:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.7351 + 0.2321 = 0.9672.

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.9672 = 0.0328

0.0328 = 3.28% probability that at least 2 of them choose the same quote.

Thereare 30 students in mr.holland's music class.if 30% of the students play in the school band,how many students in the class p
stiv31 [10]
9 students in the class play in the school band. 

30% of 30
Well, when doing a percentage you first turn the percentage into a decimal (move the % two units to the left). So 30% = 0.3

In math, the word of  means multiplication, so: 0.3 x 30 
Which equal 9. 

You can also turn the percentage into a fraction, it's really up to preference. 

30/100 of 30 = 3/10 of 30 = 3/10 x 30 = 3/10 x 30/1 = 9/1 or 9

In FGH, the measure of H=90°, HF=91 feet, and GH = 50 feet. Find the measure of F to the nearest degree.
Rudik [331]

Given:

The angle of H=90°, HF=91 feet, and GH = 50 feet.

The objective is to find the measure of angle<em> F.</em>

In the given right angled triangle, the side opposite to the requierd angle is called opposite side, and the other smaller side is called adjacent side.

The trigonometry formula which relates with the opposite and adjacent side is,

\tan \theta=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

Now substitute the value of opposite and adjacent in the above formula to find the value of angle <em>F</em>.

\begin{gathered} \tan \theta=\frac{50}{91} \\ \theta=\tan ^{-1}(0.549) \\ \theta=28.787^0 \\ \theta\approx29^0 \end{gathered}

Hence, the value of angle <em>F</em> is 29 degree.

PLEASE HELP, MATH, PLEASE<br>Solve for n: n+5/16 = -1​
Anit [1.1K]

\tt Step-by-step~explanation:

To solve for n, we have to isolate n. To do so, we move all the terms that are not n to one side of the equation, and leave n on the other side.

\tt Steps:

Equation: n + 5/16 = -1

Subtract 5/16 on both sides to bring it to the right side of the equation.

\tt n+5/16-5/16=-1-5/16\\\\n=-\frac{21}{16}~or~-1\frac{5}{16}

\Large\boxed{\tt Our~final~answer:~n=-\frac{21}{16}~or~-1\frac{5}{16} }
