An automobile manufacturer obtains the microprocessors used to regulate fuel consumption in its automobiles from three microelec

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected automobile manufactured by the company will have a defective microprocessor is 6.2 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The probability of getting a microprocessor from firm A is, $P(A)=45\%=0.45$

The probability of getting a microprocessor from firm B is, $P(B)=30\%=0.30$

The probability of getting a microprocessor from firm C is, $P(C)=25\%=0.25$

Now, let event D be having a defective microprocessor at random.

So, as per the question,

Probability of producing a defective microprocessor from firm A is, $P(D/A)=6\%=0.06$

Probability of producing a defective microprocessor from firm B is, $P(D/B)=7\%=0.07$

Probability of producing a defective microprocessor from firm C is, $P(D/C)=5.5\%=0.055$

Now, probability of having a defective microprocessor when selected at random is given as:

$P(D)=P(A)\cdot P(D/A)+P(B)\cdot P(D/B)+P(C)\cdot P(D/C)\\P(D)=(0.45\times 0.06)+(0.30\times 0.07)+(0.25\times 0.055)\\P(D)=0.027+0.021+0.01375\\P(D)=0.06175\ or\ P(D)=0.06175\times 100\approx 6.2\%$

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected automobile manufactured by the company will have a defective microprocessor is 6.2 %.

Concert each mixed number to a fraction greater than 1, or each fraction greater than 1 to a mixed number.

melisa1 [442]

1. Would be 58/11
Because we convert the mixed number to an improper fraction, 5x11+3/11. We then would multiple the numbers with gives us 55+3/11. We add that giving us 58/11

Can you help me with 1 & 3?

iVinArrow [24]

For 1 multiply both sides by 3 which gives you 3y-y=12. Then combine like terms 2y=12. Lastly divide both sides by 2 and you get y=6. And for 3 first multiply both sides by 4 which gives you 6y-32=y+8. After that combine like terms 6y-y-32=8. Now add the equation together 5y=40 and then divide by 5 and get y=8
