A company is producing two types of ski goggles. Thirty percent of the production is of type A, and the rest is of type B. Five

percent of all type A goggles are returned within 10 days after the sale, whereas only two percent of type B are returned. If a pair of goggles is returned within the first 10 days after the sale, the probability that the goggles returned are of type B is

Answer:

\dfrac{14}{29}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>P(A) </em>be the probability that goggle of type A is manufactured

<em>P(B) </em>be the probability that goggle of type B is manufactured

<em>P(E)</em> be the probability that a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase.

According to the question,

<em>P(A)</em> = 30%

<em>P(B)</em> = 70%

<em>P(E/A)</em> is the probability that a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase given that it was of type A.

P(E/B) is the probability that a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase given that it was of type B.

P(A \cap E) will be the probability that a goggle is of type A and is returned within 10 days of its purchase.

P(B \cap E) will be the probability that a goggle is of type B and is returned within 10 days of its purchase.

P(E \cap A) = P(A) \times P(E/A)

P(E \cap A) = \dfrac{30}{100} \times \dfrac{5}{100}\\\Rightarrow P(E \cap A) = 1.5 \%

P(E \cap B) = P(B) \times P(E/B)

P(E \cap B) = \dfrac{70}{100} \times \dfrac{2}{100}\\\Rightarrow P(E \cap B) = 1.4 \%

P(E) = 1.5 \% + 1.4 \% \\P(E) = 2.9\%

If a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase, probability that it was of type B:

P(B/E) = \dfrac{P(E \cap B)}{P(E)}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1.4 \%}{2.9\%}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{14}{29}

So, the required probability is \dfrac{14}{29}.

stepladder [879]
The national interest rate on houses for 25 years is 4.3%. The banker wishes to test that the local interest rates are lower than the national rate. So he should use the initial data of 4.3% interest as his base data. Then he should investigate the rates of houses in the local vicinities and compare it to his base data.

A truck was carrying a load of 458 pounds of gravel. Another 231 pounds of gravel was loaded onto the truck.
Mila [183]

Answer:

A. Olivia is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total amount of gravel stated is 689 pounds and you want to check your answer, you can subtract one of the two trucks from the total. Which would be either 689 - 231 or 689 - 458. Therefore, A is the correct answer.

Help answer please!!!!
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

QR ≈ 16.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle.

tan62° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{QR}{RP} = \frac{QR}{8.6} ( multiply both sides by 8.6 )

8.6 × tan62° = QR , then

QR ≈ 16.2 ft ( to the nearest tenth )

Express the equation x = 10 and y = -3 as a linear equation in two variables
34kurt

Answer:

For x = 10:

x + 0y - 10 = 0

For y = - 3:

0x + y + 3 = 0

Step-by-step Explanation:

Before we start let's recall the formula for the linear equations.

ax + bx = c

So first let's solve for x=10:

x = 10

Move 10 to the other side.

x - 10 = 0

As there is no y given we will simply write 0y.

x + 0y  - 10= 0

Now let's solve for y=-3:

y =  - 3

Move -3 to the other side.

y + 3 = 0

As there is no x given we will simply write 0x.

0x + y + 3 = 0
