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 %

The weight of tigers follow a normal distribution with a mean of 220 kg and a SD of 30 kg. 1) If we randomly select a tiger, wha
mylen [45]

Answer:

0.89736

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question using z score formula

Z score = x - μ/σ

x = raw score

μ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

Hence,

x = 258, μ = 220, σ = 30

Z = 258 - 220/30

=1.26667

Probability value from Z-Table:

P(x<258) = 0.89736

Therefore, the probability that his weights is less than 258 kg is 0.89736

Which of the following is another way to express the difference between -5 and 8?
dmitriy555 [2]
Answer: -5+8 because the difference (-) of -5 and 8 is 8 - (- 5) which can also be expressed as -5+8. All that matters is that 5 stays negative and 8 stays positive.

Which of the following equations is equivalent to 2 + x + 2x = 14? A 4X E 14 B 3x = 12 C 3x = 16 D 1x = 12​
Alex_Xolod [135]

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + x + 2x = 14

3x + 2 = 14 (combine like terms)

3x = 12 (subtract 2 from both sides)

Hence the answer is 3x = 12. (B)
