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 %

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

You do 38/3x+3 and 19/x+7 and then cross mulitply and get 57x+57=38x+266. Then yoy subtract 57 from 266 and get 57x=38x+209. Now you have to subtract 38 from 57 and then answer will be 19. So now you have 19x=209. Finally you divide 209 by 19 and get x=11. Good luck!

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

A  =  $94652.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the compound amount formula   A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where r is the annual interest rate and n is the number of compounding periods per year.

Here, A = ($77000)(1 + 0.07/2)^(2*3), or

          A = $77000(1.035)^6, or

          A  =  $77000(1.229), or

           A  =  $94652.66
