<em>Of the cartons produced by a​ company, 10​% have a​ puncture, 6​% have a smashed​ corner, and 0.4​% have both a puncture and a smashed corner. Find the probability that a randomly selected carton has a puncture or a smashed corner. The probability that a randomly selected carton has a puncture or a smashed corner nothing​ ____%. ​(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not​ round.)</em>

Answer:

P(Punctured\ or\ Smashed\ Corner) = 0.156

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Puncture\ Corner = 10\%

Smashed\ Corner = 6\%

Punctured\ and\ Smashed\ Corner = 0.4\%

Required

P(Punctured\ or\ Smashed\ Corner)

For non-mutually exclusive event described above, P(Punctured or Smashed Corner) can be calculated as thus;

P(Punctured\ or\ Smashed\ Corner) = P(Punctured\ Corner) + P(Smashed\ Corner) - P(Punctured\ and\ Smashed\ Corner)

Substitute:

10% for P(Puncture Corner),

6% for P(Smashed Corner) and

0.4% for P(Punctured and Smashed Corner)

P(Punctured\ or\ Smashed\ Corner) = 10\% + 6\% - 0.4\%

P(Punctured\ or\ Smashed\ Corner) = 15.6\%

Convert % to fraction

P(Punctured\ or\ Smashed\ Corner) = \frac{15.6}{100}

Convert to decimal

P(Punctured\ or\ Smashed\ Corner) = 0.156

Simple the expression <br> ( 3k + 4 1/5) + 8 3/5
lesantik [10]

Answer:

3k+12\frac{4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

(3k+12\frac{4}{5})

Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:

a\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a*c+b}{c}

4\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4*5+1}{5}

=\frac{21}{5}

=(3k+\frac{21}{5} )+\frac{43}{5}

Add the fractions

\frac{21}{5}+\frac{43}{5}

\frac{21}{5} \frac{43}{5} =\frac{64}{5}

=3k+\frac{64}{5}

Divide 64 by 5

\frac{64}{5}12.8 or 12\frac{4}{5}

=3k+12\frac{4}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:
