Write and solve an equation of ratios, as follows:
15 250
----- = ------- = 10/12.
x 300
Then 15(12) = 10x, and x = 18. The company could well predict that 18 out of the 300 phones it sells in July will be defective, based upon past history.
Make each fraction have a like denominator
7/9 * 8/8= 56/ 72
7/8 * 9/9 = 63/72
18 + 14 + (56+63)/72
32 + 119/72
32 + 1 + 47/72
33 and 47/72
Answer:
25.5 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean number of days (μ) = 22 days
Standard deviation (σ) = 6 days
Z-score for the 72nd percentile (according to tabulated values) = 0.583
The z-score for any number of days, X, is determined by:

The value of X that is greater than 72% of the trial times is:

Therefore, 72% of all of these types of trials are completed within 25.5 days.
C. 0.25 because you divide 0.06 by 0.24
