Answer: 0.8025

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of defective calculators : 17

The number of calculators are not defective : 37

Total calculators : 37+17=54

The probability of the calculators are defective : \dfrac{17}{54}=\dfrac{1}{3}

Binomial distribution formula :-

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}, where P(x) is the probability of success in x trials, n is total trials and p is the probability of success for one trial.

The probability that at least one of the calculators is defective is given by :-

P(x\geq1)=1-P(0)\\\=1-(^4C_0(\dfrac{1}{3})^0(1-\dfrac{1}{3})^4)\\\\=1-(\dfrac{2}{3})^4=0.80246913\approx0.8025

It costs a lumberyard $2.05 per cubic foot of lumber. If they sell the lumber back to their customers for $21.98 per cubic foot
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

The profit per year will be $23916

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost price of 1 ft³ = $2.05

Selling price of 1 ft³ = $21.98

Profit = Selling price - cost price

profit = $21.98 - $2.05

Profit = $19.93

Profit on 1 ft³ is $19.93

If they sell 100 monthly, per year (12 months), profit will be

19.93*100*12

= $23916

What is 7 over (fraction bar) (8×4)+90÷9 ÷ (6^3)^-2 × 9 over (fraction bar) 6(5+4) = ?????
amid [387]
The answer is:  " 36 " .
_______________________________
Note:  " (8 * 4) + 90 ÷ 9 " =  " (8 * 4) + (90 ÷ 9) " = "32 + 10 = 42" .

We can rewrite the "fraction":
 
7 / [ (8 * 4) + 90 ÷ 9 ] ;  as:  \frac{7}{42} ;  

and can reduce this value to (and rewrite as):  " \frac{1}{6} " ; 
    { since:  " \frac{7}{42}  =  \frac{7/7}{42/7}  = \frac{1}{6}" .}.

Note:  The "fraction" : \frac{9}{6(5+4)} ;  the "9/6" cancel to "3/2" ; 
  {Since:  "9÷3 = 3" ; and since:  "6÷3 = 2" ).

So rewrite:  \frac{9}{6(5+4)} ; as:  

\frac{3}{2(5+4)} ;

Note:  \frac{3}{2(5+4)}  ;

       =   \frac{3}{2(9)} ;

       =   \frac{3}{18} ;

→  Note:   \frac{3}{18} ;  can be reduced to; & rewritten as:

             " \frac{1}{6} " ;

→ {since: " \frac{3}{18} =  \frac{3/3}{18/3} ;
               
                                                      =   \frac{1}{6} ;
______________________________

Note that: (6²) ⁻² = 6⁽ ² * ⁻²⁾ = 6⁻ ⁴  ;
    
                            =  \frac{1}{6^4} ;
_________________________________________________________
So, we can rewrite our expression as:

 \frac{1}{6}  ÷  \frac{1}{6^4}  *  \frac{1}{6} ;
_________________________________________________________
Note:  
_________________________________________________________
 \frac{1}{6}  ÷  \frac{1}{6^4}  *  \frac{1}{6} ;

= ( \frac{1}{6}  ÷  \frac{1}{6^4} ) *  \frac{1}{6} ; 

= ( \frac{1}{6}  *   \frac{6^4}{1} ) *  \frac{1}{6} ;

________________________________________________________
Start with :
________________________________________________________
   → ( \frac{1}{6}  *   \frac{6^4}{1} ) ;

            The "6" in  the  " \frac{1}{6} " ;  cancels to a "1" ; 
       and the "6⁴ " in the "  \frac{6^4}{1} ) " ; cancels to a "6³ " ;

         → {Since:  "6⁴ / 6  =  6⁴ / 6¹  =  6⁽⁴ ⁻ ¹⁾  = 6³ ;

         → and we have:   \frac{1}{1}  *  \frac{6^3}{1} ;
 
         →  The " \frac{1}{1} " can be eliminated; since "1÷1= 1 " ;
               and since: any value, divided by "1", equal that same value; & since "any                       value, multiplied by "1"; equals that same value" ;
________________________________________________________
 We have:  " 6³ " .
________________________________________________________

Now, we multiplied this value, " 6³ " , by  " \frac{1}{6} " ;

→  6³  *  \frac{1}{6}  ;

     =  \frac{6^3}{1} * \frac{1}{6}  ;

Note:  The "6³ " cancels out to "6² " ;  and the "6" cancels out to "1" ; 

          {since:  "6³ ÷ 6 = 6³ ÷ 6¹ = 6⁽³ ⁻ ¹⁾ = 6² " ;
            and since:  "6 ÷ 6 = 1 "  ; ________________________________________________________
→ The answer is:  6² = 6 * 6 = 36 ;
________________________________________________________
The answer is:  " <span>36 " .</span>
