The entire output of a factory is produced on three machines. The three machines account for 20%, 30%, and 50% of the output, re

spectively. The fraction of defective items produced is this: for the first machine, 5%; for the second machine, 3%; for the third machine, 1%.
If an item is chosen at random from the total output and is found to be defective,
what is the probability that it was produced by the third machine?

Answer: 0.20833

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a case of inverse probability.

We first determine the probability that an item is defective generally.

To do this we sum the possible options of having the item produced from the first machine and is defective or having the item produced by the second machine and is defective or having the item produced by the third machine and is defective.

Mathematically,this becomes :

(0.2 * 0.05) + (0.3 * 0.03) + (0.5 * 0.01)

0.01 + 0.009 + 0.005 = 0.024.

Probability an item is defective in general = 0.024

Probability a third machine produces a defective item = 0.5 * 0.01 = 0.005.

Hence, given that the item is defective, the probability that it was produced by the third machine becomes:

= (probability of the item being produced from the third machine and is defective) / (probability of the item being defective in general)

= 0.005/0.024

= 0.20833.

Morgan is reupholstering an old chair with two circular cushions. Each cushion has a circumference of 7. 85 feet. He will need t
kramer

The total fabric Morgan needs to cover the cushions will be 19.64 square feet.

It is given that each cushion has a circumference of 7.85 feet.

It is known that the circumference of a circle = 2πr, where 'r' is the radius of the circle.

2πr = 7.85

r = 1.25

<h3>What is an area of a circle?</h3>

area of a circle is πr².

now, we can calculate the area = π× 1.25² = 4.91 square feet

since each circular cushion has two circular faces so the total number of faces Morgan needs to cover will be 4.

Therefore, the total fabric needed= 4×4.91 = 19.64 square feet.

A rancher’s herd of 250 sheep grazes over a 40-acre pasture. He would like to find out how many sheep are grazing on each acre o
RSB [31]

k = 13The smallest zero or root is x = -10

===============================

Steps:

note: you can write "x^2" to mean "x squared"

f(x) = x^2+3x-10

f(x+5) = (x+5)^2+3(x+5)-10 ... replace every x with x+5

f(x+5) = (x^2+10x+25)+3(x+5)-10

f(x+5) = x^2+10x+25+3x+15-10

f(x+5) = x^2+13x+30

Compare this with x^2+kx+30 and we see that k = 13

Factor and solve the equation below

x^2+13x+30 = 0

(x+10)(x+3) = 0

x+1 = 0 or x+3 = 0

x = -10 or x = -3

The smallest zero is x = -10 as its the left-most value on a number line.
