A machine produces small cans that are used for baked beans. The probabil- ity that the can is in perfect shape is 0.9. The prob

ability of the can having an unnoticeable dent is 0.02. The probability that the can is obviously dented is 0.08. Produced cans get passed through an automatic inspection machine, which is able to detect obviously dented cans and discard them. What is the probability that a can that gets shipped for use will be of perfect shape?

Answer:

0.9783 = 97.83% probability that a can that gets shipped for use will be of perfect shape

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Shipped for use

Event B: Perfect shape

Probability of being shipped for use:

Perfect shape(0.9 probability) or unnoticeable dent(0.02 probability). So

P(A) = 0.9 + 0.02 = 0.92

Being shipped for use and being in perfect shape.

0.9 probability, so P(A \cap B) = 0.9

What is the probability that a can that gets shipped for use will be of perfect shape?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.9}{0.92} = 0.9783

0.9783 = 97.83% probability that a can that gets shipped for use will be of perfect shape

What is the sum of the first 12 terms of the geometric series below 1/2+2+8+32+
Georgia [21]

∴\frac{1}{2} +2+8+32.......12^{th}term =2796202.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First term(a) = \frac{1}{2}   common ratio(r)     =\frac{2}{\frac{1}{2} }   =4

n= 12

S_{n}=\frac{a(r^n-1)}{(r-1)}

S_{12}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}(4^{12}-1) }{4-1} =2796202.5

∴\frac{1}{2} +2+8+32.......12^{th}term =2796202.5

225/5 = 45
This means the parents gave her five dollars forty five times. If they gave her a five every time she saved one dollar, you just have to multiply the money she saved each time and the number of times she saved it, and you'll get the answer. 
Wendy saved $45 by herself

olga55 [171]

Answer: M= slope

M= -1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

M= the change in y over the change in x so you would do 1-4 over 13-(-2) which gives you -3 over 15 which is simplified to give you the answer which is -1/5.
