An inspector found that 4 out of 116 parts were defective. What percent of the parts were defective?

2 answers:

4 0

A. 3.45%
The formula for a proportion is x/n, "n" is the total of objects and "x" is the number os successes. In this case "defective" is the success because you want to know the percentage for defective parts, so 4/116= 0.0345 and you have to multiply the result by 100 and you get your answer in percentage.

Answer:

A. 3.45%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total parts = 116,

Defective parts = 4,

Thus, the percentage of the parts that were defective

$=\frac{\text{D efective parts}}{\text{Total parts}}\times 100$

$=\frac{4}{116}\times 100$

$=\frac{400}{116}$

$=3.44827586207\%$

$\approx 3.45\%$

Option A is correct.

Line ℓ1 has the equation

Answer:

$\sqrt{2}$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

The Line 1 has equation x + y = 5 ....... (1) , and

Line 2 has equation x + y = 3 .......... (2)

Now, we have to find the perpendicular distance between line 1 and line 2.

We can say that (3,0) is a point on line 2 as it satisfies the equation (2).

Now, the perpendicular distance from point (3,0) to the line 1 will be given by the formula

$\frac{|3 + 0 - 5|}{\sqrt{1^{2}+ 1^{2}}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}$ units (Answer)

We know that the perpendicular distance from any external point ( $x_{1},y_{1}$ ) to a given straight line ax + by + c = 0 is given by the formula $\frac{|ax_{1} + by_{1} + c|}{\sqrt{a^{2} + b^{2}}}$ .
