It is reported that 50% of all computer chips produced are defective. Inspec- tion ensures that only 5% of the chips legally mar

keted are defective. Unfortunately, some chips are stolen before inspection. If 1% of all chips on the market are stolen, find the probability that a given chip is stolen given that it is defective.

Answer:

probability of defective  = 0.0545

Probability of a chip to be stolen = 0.0917

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

all computer chips produced are defective = 50%

legally marketed are defective = 5 %

stolen = 1%

solution

we get here probability of defective that is

probability of defective = P ( insepected and defective + stolen and defective)  .........................1

put here value

probability of defective = (1 - 0.01) × 0.05 + 0.01*0.5

probability of defective  = 0.0545

and

So, Probability of a chip to be stolen given defective  =P (stolen and defective) ÷ P(defective)           ......................2

put here value

Probability of a chip to be stolen = 0.01 × 0.5 ÷ 0.0545

Probability of a chip to be stolen = 0.0917

A triangular Pyramid has a base of 10 square feet and a height of 30 feet. What is the volume of the pyramid?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer: volume of pyramid is

100 ft.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of triangular Pyramid is expressed as

Volume = 1/3AH

Where

A represents the area of the triangular base of the pyramid

H represents the height of the pyramid.

The triangular Pyramid has a base of 10 square feet and a height of 30 feet. Therefore,

Volume = 1/3 × 10 × 30 = 100 cubic feet

A study wanted to compare the 50 states food expenditures. The researchers measured the amount spent by the state's entire popul
fgiga [73]

Answer:

D - Type of restaurant - fast food or more expensive.

Step-by-step explanation:

By a lurking variable we mean or refer to any variable that is unknown and not controlled for or out of individual control. When there is one or more lurking variables in any study it could results in accidental bias. According to Soares (1985), lurking variables are intrinsic and they are not actually caused by “accidents” in real sense. Hence he suggests that “lurking-variable bias” is a more suitable name for accidental bias.

Concluding that individuals who spend a lot on groceries also spend a lot at restaurants could be misleading in the sense that, groceries may have a more uniform price than restaurant regardless of your social class. For instance, type of restaurant could determine food cost. At some restaurant, food is quite expensive at another food is quite affordable. I may not to go any groceries store in a month but I patronize restaurant to eat daily.

It is also possible I don't patronize restaurants! And yet, I am frequent at groceries store.

In real sense, what I spent at groceries might be nothing compare to what I spend at restaurant and vice versa. Hence, the possible lurking variable is type of restaurant - fast food or more expensive which is unknown and not controlled for.

PR has endpoints P (12,6) and R (-8,18) find the length of PR to the nearest tenth
kotykmax [81]
Use distance formula: \sqrt{(x_2- x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2

\sqrt{(-8-12)^2 + (18-6)^2} =  \sqrt{544} = 23.3

Write a system of linear inequalities so the points (1, 2) and (4, -3) are solutions of the system, but the point (-2, 8) is not
Verizon [17]

Answer: \left \{ {{y\leq -\frac{5}{3}x + \frac{11}{3}} \atop {y < 8}} \right

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

(1, 2) and (4, -3)

First, find the slope (m): \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m = \frac{-3-2}{4-1}

   = -\frac{5}{3}

Next, choose ONE of the points and input the point and slope into the Point-Slope formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 2 = -\frac{5}{3}(x - 1)

y - 2 = -\frac{5}{3}x + \frac{5}{3}

y      = -\frac{5}{3}x + \frac{11}{3}

Then, determine which inequality symbol will result in (-2, 8) being False (since it is not a solution):

y ___ -\frac{5}{3}x + \frac{11}{3}

8 ___ -\frac{5}{3}(-2) + \frac{11}{3}

8 ___ \frac{1}{3}

8 > \frac{1}{3}

so ≤ makes the statement False

⇒ y ≤ -\frac{5}{3}x + \frac{11}{3}

****************************************************************

If you need a "system" of inequalities, then you need another equation.

There are infinite possibilities. Graph the points to see what works.  

y < 8   or  x > -2 are two examples.


---> I just realized that the system can be simpler than what I did above:

\left \{ {{x>-2} \atop {y < 8}} \right

your friend earns $10.50 per hour. This is 125% of her hourly wage last year. How much did your friend earn per hour last year?
trapecia [35]
This year per hour: $10.50 = 125%

last year = 100%

therefore: 10.50/125 x 100
= 8.40

friend earned $8.40 last year.
