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
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
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
Being shipped for use and being in perfect shape.
0.9 probability, so
What is the probability that a can that gets shipped for use will be of perfect shape?
0.9783 = 97.83% probability that a can that gets shipped for use will be of perfect shape
In order to factor, we must pull out factors common to each term. In this case, each term has factors of 2 and y:
4ay = 2 * 2 * a * y
2y = 2 * y
So, we'll pull out the 2y:
To check, distribute the 2y back through the terms in parentheses to ensure you end up with the original expression 4ay - 2y.
4ay = 2 * 2 * a * y
2y = 2 * y
So, we'll pull out the 2y:
To check, distribute the 2y back through the terms in parentheses to ensure you end up with the original expression 4ay - 2y.
