Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle can be calculated as follows

15√ 25^2 - 15^2

= 15√625-225

= 15√400

= 15 × 20

= 300

Hence the area of the rectangle is 300

A certain manufactured item is visually inspected by two different inspectors. When a defective item comes through the line, the

The fraction of a defective item getting by both inspectors is $\frac{5}{100}$ = $\frac{1}{20}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Assume that the probability of the first inspector missing a defective part is P(A) and the probability of the second inspector missing those that do get past the first inspector is P(B).

Step 2; It is given that P(A) = 0.1, we convert this into a fraction so that the final probability will be a fraction and not a decimal.

P(A) = 0.1 = $\frac{1}{10}$ .

It is given that the second inspector misses 5 out of 10 that get past the first inspector, so P(B) = $\frac{5}{10}$ .

Step 3; To calculate the probability of both inspectors missing a defective part, we multiply both the probabilities.

P(A and B happening) = P(A) × P(B) = $\frac{1}{10}$ × $\frac{5}{10}$ = $\frac{5}{100}$ = $\frac{1}{20}$ = 0.05%. So there is a 0.05% chance of both inspectors missing a defective part.
