Each of 11 refrigerators of a certain type has been returned to a distributor because of an audible, high-pitched, oscillating n

oise when the refrigerators are running. Suppose that 7 of these refrigerators have a defective compressor and the other 4 have less serious problems. If the refrigerators are examined in random order, let X be the number among the first 6 examined that have a defective compressor.

Answer:

The correct answer is 1,51%

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the probability  equally likely of the first 6 examined that have a defective compressor, we use the following formula

P=# of possibilities that meet the condition / #of equally likely possibilities.

As there are multiple events ,  and all must be achieve, we multiply the probabilities.

P1=7 / 11

P2=6 / 10

P3=5 / 9

P4=4 / 8

P5=3 / 7

P6=2 / 6

P(x)=7 / 11*6 / 10*5 / 9*4 / 8*3 / 7*2 / 6=0,01515151515

P(x)=1,51%

Lisa spends 1/5 of an hour doing her math homework and 1/3 of an hour doing her social studies homework. What fraction of an hou
Sveta_85 [38]
To solve this, all you have to do is add 1/5 and 1/3.
Well, you might be thinking, "But the denominators are not the same! Fractions have to have like denominators in order to be added together!" And you are right. So, all we have to do, is make them both have the same denominator. To do this, we have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number to find an equivalent fraction.
For 1/5, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3, to get 3/15. 
Likewise, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5, to get 5/15.
Now, you can easily add 3/15 and 5/15 because all you have to do is add the numerators, because the denominators are the same!
3/15+5/15=8/15, so she spends 8/15 hour on her math and social studies homework.

If a point is chosen inside the square, what is the probability that it will also be inside the circle?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

79\%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the point is chosen in the circle is equal to the area of the circle divided by the area of the square.

Formulas used:

  • Area of a square with side length s is given by A=s^2
  • Area of a circle with radius r is given by A=r^2\pi

The segment marked as 1 represents not only the radius of the circle, but also half the side length of the square. Therefore, the side length of the square is 2, and we have:

Area of square: A=2^2=4

Area of circle:

A=1^2\pi=\pi

Therefore, the probability that the point will be inside the circle is:

\frac{\pi}{4}=0.78539816339\approx \boxed{79\%}
