A machine needs 2 of its gears replaced. You find 2 gears, one manufactured 5 years ago and the other manufactured 10 years ago.

The specifications sheet says that the chance of failure is 5% after 5 years and increases to 8% after 10 years. If the gears on the machine are in no way linked to each other, what are the chances that both will fail?

These are independent events so
P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

Therefore
P(Both gears fail) = 0.05 * 0.08 = 0.004 or 0.4%

The sum of the numbers should total to 1. Let us say that x is the missing number, therefore:

x + ¼ + ¼ + 1/5 = 1

x = 1 – ¼ - ¼ - 1/5

The numbers should have similar denominator:

x = 20/20 – 5/20 – 5/20 – 4/20

x = 6/20

<span>x = 3/10</span>

Sara works 40 hours per week and earns $660. Which graph shows the unit rate for this situation?
coldgirl [10]

Answer: $16.5/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit rate is the relationship between y and x if x = 1

660/40 = 16.5

That means, if x = 1, y = 16.5

Therefore, <u>$16.5/hour</u>
