Answer:

0.114,0.5263

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a firm buys  components from two suppliers:

A : 60%  Defective 9%

B:40%  Defective 15%

a) the probability that the next component the firm buys is defective

=prob purchased from A and defective + prob purchased from B and defective

= 0.60(0.09)+0.40(0.15)\\= 0.054+0.06\\=0.114

b)  the probability that the component that the firm buys is from supplier B if we know that it is defective

=Prob from B and defective/Prob defective

= \frac{0.40(0.15)}{0.114} \\=0.5263

You want to find the monthly average over the past 6 months.


July: $78.56

August: $30.21

September: $81.20

October: $79.08

November: $66.18

December: $100.75


Add all of these up

(July) $78.56

(August) $30.21

(September) $81.20

(October) $79.08

(November) $66.18

(December) + $100.75

----------------------------------------------

(Total cost) $435.88


There are 6 months you are calculating for, therefore divide the total (combined) cost of 6 months with the total number of months (in this case, 6)


$435.88 (total cost of 6 months) ÷ 6 (months)


The average cost per month of over the past 6 months is $72.66.

Find the mean of the data in the dot plot below
Firdavs [7]
The mean would be 5
Reason for this is that the mean is when all data is summed up then divided by how many data points there are
So 4+4+7=15
Then divide by 3 would equal 5
I hope this helps!
