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

irga5000 [103]
The debt ratio on the Murk is 45% 
<span>The debt ratio on the Mini is 90% </span>
<span>The average between the two is 63% </span>

<span>Payoff are estimates only. Paying $375/mo with the highest interest rate first will have the Mini @ $50/mo paid off by Jul 2016 and the Murk @ $326/mo paid off by Sep 2016. What you'll do is pay the minimum on the lowest interest rate card and apply the remainder of the $375 budget to the highest interest rate card. When the Mini is paid off, combine that payment with the Murk and continue wit the $375 payments.</span>
