Answer:

<em>1.3%</em>

When entered into a calculator, 12/890 (the chance of a given calculator being defective) = 0.01348...

As a percent this is 100*0.01348% = 1.348%, and to the nearest tenth, 1.3%

Answer:

1.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

First set this up as the proportion

Is over of equals percent over 100

We put x as the percent because that's what were trying to figure out

is/of = x/100

Since there are only two numbers in the problem it will be easier to find out what numbers are the is and the of.

The problems says 12 out of 890 calculators are defective. So 890 will be our of and 12 will be the is

So 12/890 = x/100

Now we have to do Cross Product Property

So 12*100 = 1200

890*x = 890x

890x = 1200

Then you have to solve for x by dividing 1200 by 890, which is 1.3483%

Now round 1.3483% to the tenth of a percent

1.3%

4. Elena va a una fiesta pero no sabe que ponerse, así que lanza un moneda y un dado al
taurus [48]

Answer:

  • <u>1/4</u>

Explanation:

Hola. Puesto que tu pregunta está en español, te responderé en el mismo lenguage.

Estas son las posibilidades dadas por la combinación moneda/dado

                                      Número de combinaciones

Moneda: prenda

    Cara: vestido                 1 de 2:          1/2

     Sello: falda                    1 de 2:          1/2

Dado: color

    Par: negro                      3 de 6:          3/6

    Impar: café                     3 de 6:         3/6

En total son 2 × 6 resultados: 12 (incluye resultados repetidos, no son todos diferentes entre sí)

¿Cuántas combinaciones tienen vestido y color negro?

  • P(Vestido∩negro) = ?

Es decir: moneda = cara y dado = par

  • Son 1 × 3 = 3.

Por tanto, la probabilidad de vestido negro es:

  • 3 de 12 = 3/12 = 1/4 ← respuesta

Hay otras formas de resolverlo. Por ejemplo;

Como los resultados de lanzar la moneda y el dado son independientes:

  • P(Vestido∩negro) = P(Vestido) × P(Negro)
  • P(Vestido) = 1/2
  • P(Negro) = 3/6 = 1/2
  • P(Vestido) × P(Negro) = 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4 ← mismo resultado

Ok this is simple. first, lets look at the 123 angle, so the entire line is 180. subtract 123 from 180 and you have 57. a triangle will always add up to 180 degress aswell. so add 58 and 57 and thats 115. so since a triangle will always add up to 180, subtract 115 from 180 and you have the missing angle:

65!
