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 %

Disney held a breakfast for parents and their children to eat with Mickey and Minnie MouseAdult tickets cost $17.95 and children
ratelena [41]
This is a problem for 2 equations and 2 unknown.
so let x be the number of adults in the breakfast
y be the number of children present in the breakfast

so the total people attended is 500, in equation form
x + y = 500

and the total sales made by disney is $ 7355, in equation
17.95x + 12.95y = 7355

so we can solve the equation simultaneously so solve for the values of x and y

so the number of adults at the breakfast x = 176 adults and y = 324 children

Cons A has a radius 6 units and height 4 units fond one possible radius
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

A possible solution is that radius of cone B is 2 units and height is 36 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by

where

r is the radius

h is the height

Here we are told that both cones A and B have the same volume, which is:

And

(2)

We also know that cone A has radius 6 units:

and height 4 units:

For cone B, from eq.(2), we get

One possible solution for this equation is

In fact in this case, we get:

Therefore a possible solution is that radius of cone B is 2 units and height is 36 units, and we know that in this case Cone B has the same volume as cone A because it is told by the problem.
