A certain manufactured item is visually inspected by two different inspectors. When a defective item comes through the line, the

probability that the first inspector misses it is 0.1. Of those that get past the first inspector, the second inspector will "miss" 5 out of 10. What fraction of defective items get by both inspectors?

The fraction of a defective item getting by both inspectors is \frac{5}{100} = \frac{1}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Assume that the probability of the first inspector missing a defective part is P(A) and the probability of the second inspector missing those that do get past the first inspector is P(B).

Step 2; It is given that P(A) = 0.1, we convert this into a fraction so that the final probability will be a fraction and not a decimal.

P(A) = 0.1 = \frac{1}{10}.

It is given that the second inspector misses 5 out of 10 that get past the first inspector, so P(B) = \frac{5}{10}.

Step 3; To calculate the probability of both inspectors missing a defective part, we multiply both the probabilities.

P(A and B happening) = P(A) × P(B) = \frac{1}{10} × \frac{5}{10} = \frac{5}{100} = \frac{1}{20} = 0.05%. So there is a 0.05% chance of both inspectors missing a defective part.

The area of a rectangle is 5/6 sq foot. The width is 2/3 foot. The length of the rectangle is how many feet
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The answer is

\frac{5}{4}  \\

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length × width

Since we are finding the length

<h3>length =  \frac{area}{width}  \\</h3>

From the question

area = 5/6 sq. feet

width = 2/3 foot

Substitute the values into the above formula and solve for the length

The length is

length =  \frac{5}{6}  \div  \frac{2}{3}  \\  =  \frac{5}{6}  \times  \frac{3}{2}  \\  =  \frac{5}{2}  \times  \frac{1}{2}  \\  =  \frac{5}{4}

We have the final answer as

\frac{5}{4}  \\

Hope this helps you
