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%

• Chandra bought a 2-liter bottle of
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

1 liter = 33.8 fl oz

Hence

2 liter = 33.8 * 2 = 67.6 fl oz

Now, we need to determine, how many 8 fl oz glasses can be filled with 67.6 fl oz of juice. For that, we need to divide total amount of juice (in fl oz) by 8. We will get:

\frac{67.6}{8}=8.45

So there is enough juice to fill around 8.5 glasses, but we need to know how many FULL GLASSES can be filled, NOT PARTIAL.

Thus, we can say:

8 glasses max can be filled with 2 Liters of juice

Answer choice D is right

mezya [45]

Answer:

The bus travelled 60 miles in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we need to calculate the average speed at which the bus travelled. This is given by the distance travelled divided by the time that they took to get there. So we have:

average speed = distance/time

average speed = 360/6

average speed = 60 miles/h

Therefore in 1 hour they travelled 60 miles.
