Answer:

A 1.4% of the total connectors are expected to fail during the warranty period.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume a population of 1000 connectors (to make the math easiest) and let's analize the dry connectors.  

Of the 1000 connectors, 900 are kept dry. and of that number, 9 are the ones that fails during the warranty period.  (90% of 1000 is 900. 1% of 900 is 9)

Of the 1000 connectors, 100 are wet. And of that number, 5 are connectors that will fail during the warranty period. (10% of 1000 is 100, and 5% of 100 is 5)

So overall we have 14 connectors that will fail from 1000 connectors.

That is a 1.4% of the total samples.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

<em>2,136,605</em>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate growth, we use the formula shown below:

F=P(1+r)^t

Where

F is the future amount (we want to find for Jan 2024)

P is the present amount (present population of 1,988,817)

r is the rate of growth (0.9% means 0.009)

t is the time in years (from Jan 2016 to Jan 2024 is 8 years, t = 8)

<em>Let's put these into the formula and figure out F:</em>

<em>F=P(1+r)^t\\F=1,988,817(1+0.009)^8\\F=2,136,604.5</em>

<em />

<em>Rounding we get the population in Jan 2024 to be </em><em>2,136,605</em>

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to roll two dice.

If you roll one die, then there are 6 possible outcomes: 1, 2,  3, 4, 5, 6

If you roll two dice, then there are 6\times 6=36 possible outcomes:

\begin{array}{cccccc}1-1&1-2&1-3&1-4&1-5&1-6\\ \\2-1&2-2&2-3&2-4&2-5&2-6\\ \\3-1&3-2&3-3&3-4&3-5&3-6\\ \\4-1&4-2&4-3&4-4&4-5&4-6\\ \\5-1&5-2&5-3&5-4&5-5&5-6\\ \\6-1&6-2&6-3&6-4&6-5&6-6\end{array}

Here the first number is the number rolled on the first die, the second number is the number rolled on the second die.
