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

a square measuring 9 inches by 9 inches is cut from the corners of a square measuring 15 inches by 15 inches what is the area of
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

144 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the larger square, then subtract the area of the square we cut out.

The larger square has side length of 15, so it has an area of 15² = 225 in²

The smaller square has side length of 9, so it has an area of 9² = 81 in²

The area left over is

225 - 81 = 144 in²
