Answer:
a) There is a 66.7% chance that you were given box 1
b) There is a 80% chance that you were given box 1
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this, we need to note that there is a 1/10 chance of getting a defective bulb with box 1 and a 1/20 chance in box 2.
a) To find the answer to this, find the probability of getting a defective bulb for each box. Since there is only one bulb pulled in this example, we just use the base numbers given.
Box 1 = 1/10
Box 2 = 1/2
From this we can see that Box 1 is twice as likely that you get a defective bulb. As a result, the percentage chance would be 2/3 or 66.7%
b) For this answer, we need to square each of the probabilities in order to get the probability of getting a defective one twice.
Box 1 = 1/10^2 = 1/100
Box 2 = 1/20^2 = 1/400
As a result, Box 1 is four times more likely. This means that it would be a 4/5 chance and have a probability of 80%
The answer is C because if something is divided by zero, it is undefined.

We are given the height of Joe which is 1.6 meters, the length of his shadow is 2 meters when he stands 3 meters from the base of the floodlight.
First, we have to illustrate the problem. Then we can observe two right triangles formed, one is using Joe and the length of the shadow, the other is the floodlight and the sum of the distance from the base plus the length of the shadow. To determine the height of the floodlight, use ratio and proportion:
1.6 / 2 = x / (2 +3)
where x is the height of the flood light
solve for x, x = 4. Therefore, the height of the floodlight is 4 meters.
