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}

Jesse has a storage container in the shape of a right rectangular prism. The volume of the container is 43.875 cubic meters, the
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The height is 2.25 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a right rectangular prism is the product of the length, width, and height. So it would be V=w*l*h.

Because you have been given the values of the volume, width, and length, you can plug in those values into the equation to find the height. It should look like this: 43.875=5 * 3.9 * h

Then you can divide both sides of the equation by 5 * 3.9.

So... 43.875/(5*3.9)=h

therefore h= 2.25.

hope this explanation makes sense!
