Answer:

0.1175 or 11.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

If the new machine is 3 times more productive than the old machine, then 75% of widgets are produced by the new machine with a defective rate of 8%, while 25% of widgets are produced by the old machine with a defective rate of 23%.

The probability that a randomly chosen widget produced by the company is defective is given by:

P = 0.75*0.08+0.25*0.23\\P=0.1175=11.75\%

The probability is 0.1175 or 11.75%.

What is a formula for the nth term of a given sequence
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

a_n=-12-4(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is

-12,-16,-20...

The first term of this sequence is a_1=-12.

The common difference is

d=-16--12

d=-16+12=-4

The nth term of this arithmetic sequence is;

a_n=a_1+d(n-1)

We substitute the values for the first term and the common difference to obtain;

a_n=-12-4(n-1)

A bird releases waste from a height of
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

5secs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of the height expressed ad;

h(t) = - 16t^2 + initial height

Given that initial height = 400feet

h(t) = - 16t^2 + 400

The waste will hit the ground at when h(t) = 0

substitute

0 =  - 16t^2 + 400

16t^2 = 400

t² = 400/16

t² = 25

t = √25

t = 5secs

Hence it will take the easte 5secs to hit the ground

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Idk if its multiple choice but you can do 1 of 2 ways theres using distance formula =√(5-3)sq+(1-4)sq

=√4+9

=√13 <--

or

3.6 units

Given: The two points that are P(5,1) and Q(3,4).

To find: The distance between these two points.

Solution: It is given that there are two points that are P(5,1) and Q(3,4).

The distance between these two points can be found out as using the distance formula that is: 3.6

Thus, the distance between the given two points is 3.6 units.

So you choose 13 or 3.6 Hope this helps :)
