Some electronic devices are better used than new. The failure rate is higher when they are new than when they are six months old

. For​ example, half of the personal music players sold by a particular brand have a flaw. If the player has the​ flaw, it dies in the first six months. If it does not have this​ flaw, then only 20​% fail in the first six months. Yours dies after you had it for three months. What are the chances that it has this​ flaw?
The probability that it has the flaw is ________?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that half of the personal music players sold by a particular brand have a flaw. If the player has the​ flaw, it dies in the first six months. If it does not have this​ flaw, then only 20​% fail in the first six months.

Let A be the event that it fails in I 6 months

B1 = it has a flaw

B2 = it does not have a flaw

B1 and B2 are mutually exclusive and exhaustive

the chances that it has this​ flaw

=The probability that it has the flaw is

=P(A/B_1)=\frac{P(B_1/A)P(A)}{P(B_1)} \\=\frac{0.80(P(A))}{0.50}

To find P(A) = P(AB1)+P(AB2)\\=0.5(0.8)+0.5(0.2)\\=0.5

Hence required prob = 0.80

What is the greatest common factor <br> 15abc^2 and 25a^3bc
postnew [5]
To find the greatest common factor, first find the largest evenly divisible number that you can take out in both numbers, in this case 15 and 25. Then find the greatest or highest number of each variable that you can evenly take out or divide in both terms, this is for a, b and c.

So GCF of 15 and 25 would be 5
GCF of a = a^1 or a
GCF of b = b^1 or b
GCF of c = c^1 or c
Put everything together to find the GCF.
GCF = 5abc.

Solve each literal equation for the indicated variable.<br>11. For h: V = (1/3)bh ​
algol [13]

Answer:

<h2>h = \frac{3V}{b}  \\</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

V =  \frac{1}{3} bh \\

To solve for h multiply through by 3 to eliminate the fraction

That's

3V = 3 \times  \frac{1}{3} bh \\ 3V = bh

Divide both sides by b to make h stand alone

\frac{bh}{b}  =  \frac{3V}{b}  \\

We have the final answer as

h = \frac{3V}{b}  \\

Hope this helps you
