Samples of laboratory glass are in small, lightpackaging or heavy, large packaging. Suppose that 2% and 1% of thesample shipped

in small and large packages, respectively, breakduring transit. (a) If 60% of the samples are shipped in largepackages and 40% are shipped in small packages, what proportion ofsamples break during shipment? (b) Also, if a sample breaks duringshipment, what is the probability that it was shipped in a smallpackage?

Answer:

a) 1.4% of the samples break during shipment

b) the probability is 4/7 ( 57.14%)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) defining the event B= the sample of laboratory glass breaks , then the probability is:

P(B)= probability that sample is shipped in small packaging * probability that the sample breaks given that was shipped in small packaging +  probability that sample is shipped in large packaging * probability that the sample breaks given that was shipped in large packaging = 0.40* 0.02 + 0.60*0.01 = 0.014

b) we can use the theorem of Bayes for conditional probability. Then defining the event S= the sample is shipped in small packaging . Thus we have

P(S/B)= P(S∩B)/P(B) = 0.40* 0.02 / 0.014= 4/7 ( 57.14%)

where

P(S∩B)= probability that sample is shipped in small packaging and it breaks

P(S/B)= probability that sample was shipped in small packaging given that is broken

Answer:

33.22 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter to Radius: \frac{1}{2}d = r

Area of Circle: \pi r^2

We are given the diameter of a pancake as 4.6 inches, so the radius is 2.3 inches. Next, we have to apply the area of circle formula with pi as 3.14 and the radius as 2.3

  • 3.14 * 2.3^2
  • 3.14 * 5.29
  • 16.6106

Next, since there's two pancakes, we double 16.6106.

  • 16.6106 * 2
  • 33.2212

Lastly, we round to the nearest hundredth.

  • 33.2212 ≈ 33.22 square inches

Therefore, the answer is 33.22 square inches.
