Answer:

The quantity of lobster which are sold live each year in the United States and Canada are 46 million pounds (approximately).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Each year, 183 million pounds of lobster are caught in the United States and Canada. Twenty-five percent of this amount is sold live.

Now, to find how many pounds of lobster are sold live each year in the United States and Canada.

According to question:

25% of 183 million pounds.

$\frac{25}{100}\times 183$

$=0.25\times 183$

$=45.75$

<em>Each year 45.75 million pounds of lobster are sold live in the United States and Canada.</em>

Therefore, the quantity of lobster which are sold live each year in the United States and Canada are 46 million pounds (approximately).

goldfiish [28.3K]

Complete question is;

An automobile manufacturer is concerned about a possible recall of its best - selling four-door sedan. If there were a recall, there is a probability of 0.25 of a defect in the brake system, 0.18 of a defect in the transmission, 0.17 of a defect in the fuel system, and 0.40 of a defect in some other area.

(a) What is the probability that the defect is the brakes or the fueling system if the probability of defects in both systems simultaneously is 0.15?

(b) What is the probability that there are no defects in either the brakes or the fueling system?

Answer:

A) 0.27

B) 0.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B denote that there is a defect in the break system

Let T demote that there is a defect in transmission

Let F denote that there is a defect in the fuel system.

Let P denote that there is a defect in some other area.

Now, we are given;

P(B) = 0.25

P(T) = 0.18

P(F) = 0.17

P(O) = 0.40

A) We are given that probability of defects in both brakes and the fueling system simultaneously is 0.15.

Thus, it means; P(B ⋂ F) = 0.15

Now, we want to find the probability that the defect is the brakes or the fueling system. This is expressed as;

P(B ⋃ F) = P(B) + P(F) - P(B ⋂ F)

Plugging in the relevant values to give;

P(B ⋃ F) = 0.25 + 0.17 - 0.15

P(B ⋃ F) = 0.27

B) We want to find the probability that there are no defects in either the brakes or the fueling system.

This is expressed as;

P(B' ⋃ F') = 1 - P(B ⋃ F)

Plugging in relevant value;

P(B' ⋃ F') = 1 - 0.27

P(B' ⋃ F') = 0.73

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

1 ; 7 /17

Step-by-step explanation:

17 balls numbered 1 through 17

Picking without replacement :

If the second ball picked = 4

P(first ball has a smaller number)

Numbers less Than = (3, 2, 1)

P(number less than second ball Given 4 is drawn for second ball) :

= (3/17 * 1/16) ÷ (3/17 * 1/16) +) 14/17 * 0)

= (3 / 272) / (3 /272) * 0

= 3 / 272 * 272 / 3

= 1

2.)

(8/17 * 7/8) ÷ (8/17 * 7/8) + (9/17 * 1/17)

7/17 ÷ (7 /17) + 10/17

7 /17 ÷ 17/17

7/17 ÷ 1

7 /17
