P(failure) = 0.015
p(success) = 1 - 0.015 = 0.985
let x be the random variable that a battery is deffective, then
p(x = 175) = 10000C175 * (0.015)^175 * (0.985)^(10000 - 175)
= 0.00408

Use the scale drawing and the scale factor to enlarge a square that has a side length of 12 in. Scale factor= 3 in:2m.
podryga [215]

Given:

The side of square = 12 in.

Scale factor of enlargement = 3 in : 2 m

To find:

The proportion that is use to solve the side length, x, of the enlarged square.

Solution:

Let, the side of length of enlarged square = x m

In case of enlargement the corresponding sides are proportional.

\dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{2}{x}

3x=2\times 12

3x=24

Divide both sides by 3.

x=\dfrac{24}{3}

x=8

Therefore, the required proportion is \dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{2}{x} and the side length of the square after enlargement is 8 m.

If Samantha can pay off her loan in 36 months at a 10% interest rate rather than in 48 months at a 12% interest rate, how much m
Ymorist [56]
Hi there
The simple interest formula is
I=prt
I interest changes
P amount of the loan 6000
R interest rate
T time( number of months/12 months)

The interest in 36 months at a 10%
I=6,000×0.1×(36÷12)=1,800
The interest in 48 months at a 12%
6,000×0.12×(48÷12)=2,880
she will save
2,880−1,800=1,080

Good luck!
