By multiplying fractions, you aren't changing any of them. For example 1/2 times 1/3 all you do is multiply. But to add 1/2 and 1/3 you would have to get a common denominator.<span />

A certain manufactured item is visually inspected by two different inspectors. When a defective item comes through the line, the
andreev551 [17]

The fraction of a defective item getting by both inspectors is \frac{5}{100} = \frac{1}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Assume that the probability of the first inspector missing a defective part is P(A) and the probability of the second inspector missing those that do get past the first inspector is P(B).

Step 2; It is given that P(A) = 0.1, we convert this into a fraction so that the final probability will be a fraction and not a decimal.

P(A) = 0.1 = \frac{1}{10}.

It is given that the second inspector misses 5 out of 10 that get past the first inspector, so P(B) = \frac{5}{10}.

Step 3; To calculate the probability of both inspectors missing a defective part, we multiply both the probabilities.

P(A and B happening) = P(A) × P(B) = \frac{1}{10} × \frac{5}{10} = \frac{5}{100} = \frac{1}{20} = 0.05%. So there is a 0.05% chance of both inspectors missing a defective part.

Sawyer recorded the number of different types of pets his friends have in the table shown below:
Colt1911 [192]

The answer to your question is <em>"A line with 4 tick marks labeled Cat, Dog, Rabbit, and Guinea Pig. Cat has 2 crosses, Dog has 3 crosses, Rabbit has 1 cross, and Guinea Pig has 3 crosses. The line is labeled Number of Pets, and title of graph is Pet Owners."  </em>Because this is the only plot described that fits with the data from the table with the information on how many cats, dogs, rabbits, and guinea pigs there are.
