0.60x = 300
x = 300/0.60
x = 500...so 60% of 500 is 300

25% of 500...
0.25(500) = 125....so 25% of 500 is 125

frosja888 [35]

You have a bucket 1 gallon big.
To mix cleaner and water you need to divide the bucket's capacity into 4.
It's easy in this case as gallon is divided into quarts (1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts).
Since one part will be a window cleaner, it means that you will need to use 1 quart of the cleaner.

In a box of 25 external hard disks, there are 2 defectives. An inspector examines 5 of these hard disks. Find the probability th

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

0.3667 or 36.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting at least 1 defective hard disk among the 5 (P(X>0)) is equal to 100% minus the probability of getting none defectives (1-P(X=0)).

If 23 out of 25 hard disks are non-defective, the probability is:

$P(X>0) = 1 -P(X=0)\\P(X>0) = 1 -\frac{23}{25}*\frac{22}{24} *\frac{21}{23} *\frac{20}{22} *\frac{19}{21}\\ P(X>0) = 0.3667=36.67\%$
