There are 3 boxes. First box contains 100 components of which 20 % are defective, second box contains 200 components of which 25

% are defective, third box contains 300 components of which 40 % are defective. Box is selected randomly and from this box one component is selected randomly. The chosen component turned out to be defective.
Determine the probability that it came from
a) second box.
b) third box.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 3 boxes. First box contains 100 components of which 20 % are defective, second box contains 200 components of which 25 % are defective, third box contains 300 components of which 40 % are defective.

Box is selected randomly and from this box one component is selected randomly. The chosen component turned out to be defective.

Here A1, A2 and A3 events from drawing I, II and III box are mutually exclusive and exhaustive

B = The drawn ball is defective

Required probability

a) second box = P(A2/B)

=\frac{P(A_2B)}{P(A_1B+P(A_2B+P(A_3B}

(by Bayes theorem of conditional probability)

= \frac{\frac{1}{3} 0.25}{\frac{1}{3} 0.20)+\frac{1}{3} 0.25)+\frac{1}{3} 0.40)} \\=\frac{25}{85} \\=\frac{5}{17}

b) third box = P(A3/B)

=\frac{\frac{1}{3} 0.40}{\frac{1}{3} 0.20)+\frac{1}{3} 0.25)+\frac{1}{3} 0.40)} \\=\frac{40}{85} \\=\frac{8}{17}

42. Use the Quadratic Equation to find the Roots of x2 + 3x - 3=0
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of the x terms are {1, 3, -3}, so the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac, is 3^2 - 4(1)(-3), or 9 + 12, or 21.  The positive nature of the discriminant tells us that there are two real, unequal roots.  Following the quadratic formula, we get:

       -3 ± √21

x = -----------------

In equilateral ΔABC, AD, BE, and CF are medians. If FO = 4, then AE = A) 4 B) 4 3 C) 8 D) 12
vampirchik [111]

Firstly, we need to draw triangle

we know that

O is a centroid

and centroid divides median into 2:1

so,

\frac{CO}{FO} =\frac{2}{1}

we have FO=4

so, we can plug it

\frac{CO}{4} =\frac{2}{1}

CO=8

now, we can find CF

CF=OC+FO

CF=8+4

CF=12

now, we can see triangle ACF is a right angled triangle

so, we can use pythagoras theorem

x^2=(\frac{x}{2} )^2+12^2

now, we can solve for x

\frac{3x^2}{4}=144

x^2=192

x=8\sqrt{3}

Since, it is equilateral triangle

so,

AC=x=8\sqrt{3}

we know that

E is a mid-point

so,

AE=\frac{AC}{2}

now, we can plug values

AE=\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{2}

AE=4\sqrt{3}................Answer

A pharmacist is trying to stock the pharmacy with cheaper alternatives for customers. She will stop carrying the more expensive
raketka [301]

Answer : C.  Caplet form is the most expensive.

Tablet form comes in 50 mg tablets and cost $75.00 for a bottle of 100 tablets.

50 mg of 100 tablets so 50 * 100 = 5000mg

5000mg cost = $75.00

So 1mg of tablet form cost = \frac{75}{5000} = 0.015

Capsule form comes in 75 mg capsules and cost $63.75 for a bottle of 85  capsules

75 mg of 85  capsules,  so 75 * 85 = 6375mg

6375mg cost = $63.75

So 1mg of Capsule form cost = \frac{63.75}{6375} = $0.01

Caplet form comes in 100 mg caplets and cost $70.00 for 40 caplets

100 mg of 40 caplets ,  so 100 * 40 = 4000 mg

4000mg cost = $70.00

So 1mg of Caplet form cost = \frac{70}{4000} = $0.0175

Caplet form is the most expensive.

Determine if the solution set for the system of equations shown is the empty set, contains one point or is infinite. x + y = 6 x
Mnenie [13.5K]

The solution of the system of equations contains one point

<h3>How to determine the number of solutions?</h3>

The system is given as:

x + y = 6

x - y = 0

Add both equations

2x = 6

Divide by 2

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 in x - y = 0

3 - y = 0

Solve for y

y = 3

So, we have x =3 and y = 3

Hence, the solution of the system of equations contains one point
