Answer:

0.1225

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Machines = 20

Defective Machines = 7

Required

Probability that two selected (with replacement) are defective.

The first step is to define an event that a machine will be defective.

Let M represent the selected machine sis defective.

P(M) = 7/20

Provided that the two selected machines are replaced;

The probability is calculated as thus

P(Both) = P(First Defect) * P(Second Defect)

From tge question, we understand that each selection is replaced before another selection is made.

This means that the probability of first selection and the probability of second selection are independent.

And as such;

P(First Defect) = P (Second Defect) = P(M) = 7/20

So;

P(Both) = P(First Defect) * P(Second Defect)

PBoth) = 7/20 * 7/20

P(Both) = 49/400

P(Both) = 0.1225

Hence, the probability that both choices will be defective machines is 0.1225

Max's grade on the first math exam was a 94. His grade on his seond math exam was an 89. What was the percent of change in Max's
Tom [10]

We are given that

Max's grade on the first math exam was a 94

so, first exam grade =94

His grade on his seond math exam was an 89

so, second exam grade =89

change in grade=(first exam grade)-(second exam grade)

change in grade=94-89

change in grade=5

Percentage = ( change in grade)/( first exam grade) *100

so, percentage is

=\frac{5}{94}\times 100

so,

the percent of change in Max's grade to the nearest whole percentage was 5%..........Answer

olga55 [171]

Answer:

P(\text{Pizza}\ |\ \text{Female})=0.225

Step-by-step explanation:

The two-way frequency table is attached below.

We have to calculate the probability of, a person chosen at random prefers pizza given that they are female, i.e P(\text{Pizza}\ |\ \text{female})

This is a conditional probability.

We know that,

P(A\ |\ B)=\dfrac{P(A\ \cap\ B)}{P(B)}

So,

P(\text{Pizza}\ |\ \text{Female})=\dfrac{P(\text{Pizza}\ \cap\ \text{Female)}}{P({\text{Female}})}

From the table,

P(\text{Pizza}\ \cap\ \text{Female)}=\dfrac{119}{1000}

P({\text{Female}})=\dfrac{530}{1000}

Putting the values,

P(\text{Pizza}\ |\ \text{Female})=\dfrac{P(\text{Pizza}\ \cap\ \text{Female)}}{P({\text{Female}})}=\dfrac{\frac{119}{1000}}{\frac{530}{1000}}=0.225

What is 45% of 90 ?
Liula [17]

Answer:

40.5

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer makes sense because we know that 50% of 90 is 45.

Since 45% of 90 is 40.5, we can self-check our answer.

Hope I helped!
