Out of 960 calculators, 8 were found be to defective

Probability:
                 \frac{8}{960}
                 0.00833...
As a Percent:
                 0.00833....× 100
                 0.833%
To the nearest tenth of percentage:
                 0.833% ≈ 0.8%

Answer:

0.8%  is a probability that a calculator chosen at random will be defective

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of any event is given by:

P(A) = \frac{\text{Number of required outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}} where, A is any event.

As per the statement:

In a batch of 960 calculators, 8 were found to be defective.

here,

A = Defective calculator.

⇒Number of defective calculator = 8

and

Total number of outcomes = 960 calculators.

then by definition we have;

P(A) = \frac{8}{960}

Simplify:

P(A) \approx 0.00833333333 = 0.833333333 %

Therefore, a probability that a calculator chosen at random will be defective to the nearest tenth place is, 0.8 %

write an expression that equals (x-13). It must have at leat two sets of parentheses and one minus sogn.Verify that it is equal
IRISSAK [1]

You can perform all kind of operation that are one the inverse of the other, so that the value won't change. For example, you can multiply and divide by 2:

\dfrac{1}{2}(2(x-13))

Or add and subtract 5:

\left(\dfrac{1}{2}(2(x-13))+5\right)-5

5. What is the slope of the line that passes through (-2, 4) and (7, 1)?
just olya [345]

Answer:

Slope: -\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Use slope formula to find the slope

m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2- x1}=\frac{4-1}{-2-7}=\frac{3}{-9} =-\frac{1}{3}

Therefore the slope of a line that passes through (-2, 4) and (7, 1) is -\frac{1}{3}
