A shipment of 20 DVDs has arrived at a video rental store. Based on past experience, the manager knows that 10% of all new DVDs

sent to the store have a visible defect. The manager tells you to begin inspecting the new DVDs one at a time at random until you find the first DVD that has a defect. If 10% of the DVDs have a visible defect in the new shipment, what is the probability that the first DVD that has a defect is the 3rd one that you inspect? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Answer:

The probability is 0.081

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the probability that the 3rd inspection will be defective.

What this means is that the first two would

not be defective.

Probability of having a defective DVD = 10% = 10/100 = 0.1

Probability of not having a defective DVD = 1 -0.1 = 0.9

So the probability of third being defective = Probability of first not defective * Probability of second not defective * Probability of third defective

= 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.1 = 0.081

Lauren Michel lends $17,000 at a rate of 10.7% .
Maru [420]
Given:
Principal = 17,000
rate = 10.7%
term = x/360
interest = 1,121.72

Interest = Principal * rate * term
1,121.72 = 17,000 * .107 * x/360
1,121.72 = 1,819x / 360
1,121.72 * 360 = 1,819x
403,632 / 1,819 = x
221.90 = x

Lauren Michelle will have to wait 222 days for her investment to earn $1,121.72

Given:
Principal = x
rate = 9%
term = 10 months
interest = 1,687.50

Interest = Principal * rate * term
1,687.50 = x * 0.09 * 10/12
1,687.50 = x * 0.075
1,687.50 / 0.075 = x
22,500 = x

The amount Sandra Leatherwood invested was $22,500.

Joe Summers buys a gas grill and accessories. The cost, including tax, amounts to $850.00. Joe finances the grill over 12 months
Anettt [7]

Answer:

$66.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost, including tax, amounts to $850.00.

Down payment =$150

Amount after paying down payment = $850-$150=$700

Interest rate = 14 %

So, interest on $700 = \frac{14}{100} \times 700 =98

So, c = $98

Total payment = amount financed + c  = 700+98=$798

Now Joe finances the grill over 12 months

So, no. of payments = 12

Now Monthly payment = Total of payments ÷ number of payments

                                        =798 ÷ 12

                                        =$66.5

Hence Joe's monthly payments (principal plus interest) is $ 66.5
