Answer:

The proportion of disks which are defective is 0.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion of defective disks is the number of defective disks in the sample divided by the size of the sample.

In this question:

2346 disks.

1971 not defective, so 2346 - 1971 = 375 defective.

p = \frac{375}{2346} = 0.16

The proportion of disks which are defective is 0.16.

What is the value of x in the equation 3x-4y=65 when y =4
Dovator [93]
3x - 4(4) = 65

First, simplify 4 × 4 to get 16. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 16 = 65
Second, add 16 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 65 + 16
Third, simplify 65 + 16 to 81. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 81
Fourth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x = \frac{81}{3}
Fifth, simplify \frac{81}{3} to 27. / Your problem should look like: x = 27

Answer: x = 27
