If you mean to ask how you divide 2 by 5, then consider instead dividing 20 by 5, then divide that result by 10 (which is as simple as moving a decimal point to the left)

We have 20/5 = 4, then 4/10 = 0.4.

Why does this work? All we're doing is multiplying by 1 in the form of 10/10, then moving around factors within the product:

2/5 = 2/5 * 10/10 = (2*10)/5 * 1/10 = 20/5 * 1/10 = 4/10 = 0.4

Answer:

If we examine a sample of tires used for 60,000 miles and determine the proportion that are worn out, how likely is that proportion to be 3.6% or less?

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, when you want to contrast two hypothesis you need a confidence level p% without which the comparison makes no sense.

In this case, you want to refuse the null hypothesis (the average is 5%) with an alternative one (the average is less than 5%).  

You propose a new average (3.6%) based on the evidence.

You cannot prove that the average is actually 3.6%, <em>but if you somehow determine that the probability the average is greater than 3.6% is lower than 100% minus your confidence level p% ,then you can refute the null hypothesis and accept the alternative one as new average. </em>

So, from the possible choices, the one that fits the best is

If we examine a sample of tires used for 60,000 miles and determine the proportion that are worn out, how likely is that proportion to be 3.6% or less?
