Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Y represent the number of parts in the shipment.

Number of Defective parts found in the shipment= 15

Percentage (%) of known Defective parts in the shipment = 3%

3% = 3/100

Therefore,

(3 ÷ 100) × Y = 15

We have

3Y ÷ 100 = 15

Cross multiply

3Y = 15 × 100

3Y = 1500

Y = 1500 ÷ 3

Y = 500

Therefore, the number of parts in the shipment is 500.

If 3% out of 100% are defective it would be 3 out of every 100, and 3 multiplied by 5 is 15. Then you multiply 100 by 5 and its 500 so out of 500 parts 15 would be defective

There is a large number of cubes in a bag.
Alla [95]
Marked(10)/total = 3/20 (from sample)

total/10 = 20/3 (inverting the above proportion)

total = 10•20/3 = 200/3 ≈ 67

= 85 - 100 = - 15

Therefore, - 15% did the candle sales decrease.

Find the rate of change and initial value. Y=mx+b
tekilochka [14]
Y= 4/5 x + 24
To find the rate of change you find the difference in each of the numbers on the graph. For example, 36-32 is 4. So 28-4 is 24 and that would be the next number down. It would also match x to be 0 because since the rate of change for x was 5, if you subtract 5 from 5 you get 0. So from this we know that the coordinates would be 0,5.
From this info, the slope would be 4/5 and the y intercept or initial value would be 24

A basketball player has made​ 70% of his foul shots during the season. If he shoots 3 foul shots in​ tonight's game, what is the
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

There is a 34.3% probability that he makes all of the​ shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each foul shot that he takes during the game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he makes it, or he misses. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

n = 3, p = 0.7

What is the probability that he makes all of the​ shots?

This is P(X = 3).

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

P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.7)^{3}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.343

There is a 34.3% probability that he makes all of the​ shots.
