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%

Stells [14]

Answer:

They use 741 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Write 65% as

65/100

Since, finding the fraction of a number is same as multiplying the fraction with the number, we have

65/100 of 1140 = 65/100× 1140

Therefore, the answer is 741

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 65÷100×1140 which will give you 741 as the answer.

People attending a football game either supported the home team or the visiting team. If 1369 of the people attending supported
Anna [14]

Answer:

37%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of people that supported the home team, we need to find the total number of people.

This is because the percentage of people supporting the home team will be given by:

Number of people supporting home team / total number of people

The total number of people is the people supporting the home team plus the people supporting the visiting team:

1369+2331=3700

<u>Therefore, our percentage will be:</u>

1369/3700

Plug this into our calculator and we get:

0.37

Convert that a percentage for a final answer of 37%

From the origin we can see to get to the point plotted we have to go down 1 and right three giving us the slope \frac{-1}{3}

These are in the form of y=mx+b

b is the y-intercept and m is the slope

since the y-intercept is 0 b is 0 and isn't need leaving us with y=mx

We can put our slope into the equation giving us the answer in C
