Answer:

Subtract: 5/8 - 1/6 = 5 · 3/8 · 3 - 1 · 4/6 · 4 = 15/24 - 4/24 = 15 - 4/24 = 11/24

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(8, 6) = 24. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 8 × 6 = 48. In the following intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In other words - five eighths minus one sixth = eleven twenty-fourths.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of children's tickets is x, while the amount of adults' tickets is 2x

5.1*x- the amount of money from children

9.6*2x= 19.2x- the amount of money from adults

5.1x+19.2x= 558.9

x=23 - child tickets

This exercise illustrates that poor quality can affect schedules and costs. A manufacturing process has 90 customer orders to fi

svp [43]

Answer:

a) 0.0645 = 6.45% probability that the 90 orders can be filled without reordering components.

b) 0.4062 = 40.62% probability that the 100 orders can be filled without reordering components.

c) 0.9034 = 90.34% probability that the 100 orders can be filled without reordering components

Step-by-step explanation:

For each component, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The components can be assumed to be independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

3% of the components are identified as defective

This means that $p = 0.03$

a. If the manufacturer stocks 90 components, what is the probability that the 90 orders can be filled without reordering components?

0 defective in a set of 90, which is $P(X = 0)$ when $n = 90$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{90,0}.(0.03)^{0}.(0.97)^{90} = 0.0645$

0.0645 = 6.45% probability that the 90 orders can be filled without reordering components.

b. If the manufacturer stocks 102 components, what is the probability that the 100 orders can be filled without reordering components?

At most 102 - 100 = 2 defective in a set of 102, so $P(X \leq 2)$ when $n = 102$

Then

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{102,0}.(0.03)^{0}.(0.97)^{102} = 0.0447$

$P(X = 1) = C_{102,0}.(0.03)^{1}.(0.97)^{101} = 0.1411$

$P(X = 2) = C_{102,2}.(0.03)^{2}.(0.97)^{100} = 0.2204$

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0447 + 0.1411 + 0.2204 = 0.4062$

0.4062 = 40.62% probability that the 100 orders can be filled without reordering components.

c. If the manufacturer stocks 105 components, what is the probability that the 100 orders can be filled without reordering components?

At most 105 - 100 = 5 defective in a set of 105, so $P(X \leq 5)$ when $n = 105$

Then

$P(X \leq 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{105,0}.(0.03)^{0}.(0.97)^{105} = 0.0408$

$P(X = 1) = C_{105,0}.(0.03)^{1}.(0.97)^{104} = 0.1326$

$P(X = 2) = C_{105,2}.(0.03)^{2}.(0.97)^{103} = 0.2133$

$P(X = 3) = C_{105,3}.(0.03)^{3}.(0.97)^{102} = 0.2265$

$P(X = 4) = C_{105,4}.(0.03)^{4}.(0.97)^{101} = 0.1786$

$P(X = 5) = C_{105,5}.(0.03)^{5}.(0.97)^{100} = 0.1116$

$P(X \leq 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.0408 + 0.1326 + 0.2133 + 0.2265 + 0.1786 + 0.1116 = 0.9034$

0.9034 = 90.34% probability that the 100 orders can be filled without reordering components

15(x+2000)=3300 is my question on common core. I don't know how to solve this correctly.

Phantasy [73]

15(x+2000)=3300
15x + 30000 = 3300
subtract 30000 from both sides
15x = -26700
divide 15 from both sides so you get x alone
x =-1780
