Answer:

No, the correct answer is 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

2 from 10 total failures

2/10 = 0.2

(100)(0.2)=20%

Hope this helps.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

0.18 ; 0.1875 ; No

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

Person making the order = P

Other person = O

Gift wrapping = w

P(p) = 0.7 ; P(O) = 0.3 ; p(w|O) = 0.60 ; P(w|P) = 0.10

What is the probability that a randomly selected order will be a gift wrapped and sent to a person other than the person making the order?

Using the relation :

P(W|O) = P(WnO) / P(O)

P(WnO) = P(W|O) * P(O)

P(WnO) = 0.60 * 0.3 = 0.18

b. What is the probability that a randomly selected order will be gift wrapped?

P(W) = P(W|O) * P(O) + P(W|P) * P(P)

P(W) = (0.60 * 0.3) + (0.1 * 0.7)

P(W) = 0.18 + 0.07

P(W) = 0.1875

c. Is gift wrapping independent of the destination of the gifts? Justify your response statistically

No.

For independent events the occurrence of A does not impact the occurrence if the other.

A rectangle with a length of L and a width of W has a diagonal of 10 inches. Express the perimeter P of the rectangle as a funct

KatRina [158]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The expression which represents the perimeter P of the rectangle as a function of L is:

$Perimeter=2(L+\sqrt{100-L^2})$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The length and width of a rectangle are denoted by L and W respectively.

Also the diagonal of a rectangle is: 10 inches.

We know that the diagonal of a rectangle in terms of L and W are given by:

$10=\sqrt{L^2+W^2}$

( Since, the diagonal of a rectangle act as a hypotenuse of the right angled triangle and we use the Pythagorean Theorem )

Hence, we have:

$10^2=L^2+W^2\\\\i.e.\\\\W^2=100-L^2\\\\W=\pm \sqrt{100-L^2}$

But we know that width can't be negative. It has to be greater than 0.

Hence, we have:

$W=\sqrt{100-L^2}$

Now, we know that the Perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

$Perimeter=2(L+W)$

Here we have:

$Perimeter=2(L+\sqrt{100-L^2})$

A carpenter wants to cut a board 16 1/2 feet in length into 1 7/8 feet pieces. How many pieces can be cut from the board? The ca

yawa3891 [41]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

8 pieces
3/8 foot

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

a) Let n represent the number of 1 7/8 ft pieces. Then we have ...

... 16 1/2 ft = n × (1 7/8 ft)

We can find n by dividing this equation by 1 7/8.

... (16 1/2)/(1 7/8) = n = (132/8)/(15/8) = 132/15

... n = 8 12/15 = 8 4/5

The integer number of pieces that can be cut is 8 pieces.

b) The length of the left-over piece is 4/5 of the full length of a piece, so is ...

... (4/5) × (15/8 ft) = 12/8 ft

We want to divide this into 4 equal lengths, so each of those lengths will be 1/4 of the length of the left-over:

... (1/4) × (12/8 ft) = 3/8 ft

<em>Comment on arithmetic with fractions</em>

This problem is easier if you <em>convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions</em>. This is done by expressing the integer as a number of fractional parts, then adding the fraction part of the mixed number:

... a + b/c = (a×c/c) + b/c = (ac +b)/c

Division with fractions is taught a couple of different ways. One way you can do it is to "invert and multiply". That is, you multiply the numerator fraction by the reciprocal of the denominator fraction:

... (a/b)/(c/d) = (a/b)×(d/c)

Another way you can do the division is to express each of the numerator and denominator fractions over the same denominator. Then the quotient is the ratio of numerators.

... (a/c)/(b/c) = a/b

This is the method we used here. Effectively, we converted 16 1/2 to 16 4/8 then to (16×8 +4)/8 = 132/8. Then the numerator and denominator fractions both had denominators of 8, so (132/8)/(15/8) = 132/15. This fraction can be reduced by removing a factor of 3 from numerator and denominator to give ...

... 132/15 = 44/5 = 8 4/5
