Answer:
A 0.24 probability that one string is defective
Step-by-step explanation:
The sample probabiity:


If important to notice that this probability is from the sample, it can be extrapolated to the population but may not be the same.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem statement tells us ...
8x = y +3
7x = y -4
Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...
x = 7
Then ...
y = 7x +4 = 7·7 +4 = 53
There are 7 people, and 53 coins are required for purchase.
The explicit rule for any arithmetic sequence is:
a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=initial term, d=common difference, n=term number
In this case a=-3 and d=7 so:
a(n)=-3+7(n-1)
a(n)=-3+7n-7
a(n)=7n-10
Formula: Distance = rate * time
570 = (R+(R-18))*3
570 = (2R - 18)*3
190 = 2R-16
208 = 2R
R = 104
