Answer:

0.37072

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that step 1 is defective (P(A) = 10%), B the event that step 2 is defective(P(B) = 20%), C the event that step 3 is defective (P(C) = 8%), D the event that step 4 is defective(P(D) = 5%). Let us suppose that the occurance of a failure at any step is indepent of the other steps.

Recall the following properties

P(A) = 1- P(A^c)

(A\cup B )^c = A^c \cap B^c)

And given A, B, C, D independent , then

P(A\cap B \cap C \cap D) = P(A)P(B)P(C)P(D)

REcall that if the a set of events A,B,C,D are independent, their complements are also indepent.

Since we are asked for the probability of a defective item, this means that at least one of the steps is defective. Then, we are asked for the following probability:

P(A\cup B \cup C \cup D) = 1 - P((A\cup B \cup C \cup D)^c) = 1 - P(A^c \cap B^c \cap C^c \cap D^c ) = 1 - P(A^c)P(B^c) P(C^c) P(D^c) = 1-(1-P(A))(1-P(B))(1-P(C))(1-P(D))

= 1-(0.9)(0.8)(0.92)(0.95) = 0.37072

Answer:

Correct answer is 37.1 % . Explanation is given below :

Production                                                                    

steps deffective   without defects  (100)            (100-100=0)

1          10                      90   100*90/100=90         100-90=10

2          20                       80   90*80/100=72                100-72=28

3          8                       92   72*92/100=66.24     100-66.24-33.76

4          5                      95     66.24*95/100=62.928       100-62.928=37.1

Hi! ❤️ , im looking for some help here. ill give brainliest if able to.

Answer:

A. 2^11

Step-by-step explanation:

(They are basically asking what's 2^4 × 2^7, but with more words.)

I usually do each exponent individually:

2^4 is the same as 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16 (or you could have read the text to figure that out)

2^7 is the same as 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 128

Then just multiply 128 and 16 to get 2,048, and see which option also gives you 2,048.

BUT, you can also:

(Combine the exponents together to get your answer. Just remember that if it's multiplication you add them, and if it's division you subtract them.)

2^4 × 2^7

4 + 7 = 11

2^11 (This equals 2,048 btw. You don't even have to check all the options to get the answer).

Hope this helps friend :)

The last part I learned from another user, while answering one of your other questions. I personally find this mind blowing, lol.

Nemos aquarium is filled with 2400 cm of water the base of the aquarium is 20 cm long and 12 cm wide what is the height of the w
SSSSS [86.1K]

The answer to this question is 10 cm

In this question, you asked the height and given the volume of water(2400cm3), aquarium length(20cm), and aquarium width(12cm).

Then you need to divide the volume with the length and width. The equation would be:

Aquarium height= volume / length / width

Aquarium height= 2400 cm3 / 20cm / 12 cm = 10cm.
