Set up a right triangle. the height is one side of triangle, its length is 400.
The angle opposite to the 400 is 14.3 degrees. The adjacent side is distance across, "x"

Use tangent ratio
tan(14.3) = \frac{400}{x}

x  = \frac{400}{tan (14.3)}

Elenna [48]

Answer:

a = 14  

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the sum of the values divided by the number of values.

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{Mean}&= &\dfrac{11 + 8 + 7 + a + 16 + 10}{6}\\\\\dfrac{52 + a}{6}& = & 11\\52 + a & = & 66\\a & = & 66 - 52\\& = & \mathbf{14}\\\end{array}

stepladder [879]

Using it's concept, it is found that there is a 0.004 = 0.4% probability of a game console buyer buying a defective Suny Playcom.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem, 40% of the consoles bought are of the Suny Playcom series, and of those, 1% are defective, hence the probability is given by:

p = 0.4 x 0.01 = 0.004

0.004 = 0.4% probability of a game console buyer buying a defective Suny Playcom.
