Answer:

The correct answer is B  \frac{1}{125}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

The fist step is to determine the probability of selecting a non-compliant valve from the first batch. Since there are 5 non-compliant valves in the batch out of 50 , we determine that the probability of finding a non-compliant valve is P(A)=\frac{5}{50}.

Step 2

The second step is to determine the probability of selecting a non-compliant valve from the second batch. Since there are 4 non-compliant valves in the batch out of 50 , we determine that the probability of finding a non-compliant valve is P(B)=\frac{4}{50}.

Step 3

The last step is to determine the probability of getting non-compliant valves both times. Since the two events are independent of each other, we find the probability by multiplying the probability  of both events. The calculation is carried out as shown below,

P(A)\times P(B)=\frac{5}{50} \times\frac{4}{50} =\frac{20}{2500} =\frac{1}{125}.

The probability of 2 non-compliant valves is \frac{1}{125}.

14.7 ml and a mass of 22.8 g
aliya0001 [1]

The density of the liquid is 1.55 g/mL.

Given the following data:

Mass of liquid = 22.8 grams

Volume of liquid = 14.7 mL

To find the density (unknown) of the liquid:

Density is mass all over the volume of a substance or an object.  Thus, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, the density of a substance is given by the formula;

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

Density = 1.55 g/mL

Therefore, the density of the liquid is 1.55 g/mL.

9. A box of cereal is packaged and sold at a local
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

288 Cubic Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the cereal takes up 80% of the total volume of the box, you would take 80% of the total volume.

First, do Base x Width x Height for the volume of the box.

10 inches x 3 inches x 1 foot      (1 foot is 12 inches)

10 x 3 x 12 = 360

Now, take 80% of 360 cubic inches.

80% is 0.8 times a number

0.8 x 360 = 288

288 Cubic Inches

Highschool level trigonometry!!! Need help knowing step by step how to find answer!
Goshia [24]

Answer:

\theta \approx 82.34^\circ

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached diagram. (Apologies if the shading or resolution is a bit off.)

So, we want to find θ.

Since we formed a right triangle, we can use right triangle ratios.

We know the measure of the adjacent side to θ and the hypotenuse.

Therefore, we will use the cosine ratio:

\displaystyle \cos(\theta)=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

The adjacent side is 2 and the hypotenuse is 15. By substitution:

\displaystyle \cos(\theta)=\frac{2}{15}

Now, we will take the inverse cosine of both sides. So:

\displaystyle \theta=\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{2}{15}\Big)

Use a calculator. Hence:

\theta \approx 82.34^\circ

The angle between the ground and the ladder is about 82.34°.
