In a batch of 280 water purifiers, 12 were found to be defective. What is the probability that a water purifier chosen at random will be defective? Write the probability as a percent. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

A. 4.3%
B. 5.6%
C. 95.7%
D. 71.8%

Answers

First part  its 4C2  = 4*3 / 2 = 6

Second part
12 * 100
----------    =   4.3 %
   280

Answer: A. 6

A. 4.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of singers = 4

To choose singers = 2

The number of ways to choose 2 singers from 4= [tex]^4C_2=\frac{4!}{2!(4-2)!}=3\times2=6[/tex]

Hence, A is the right option.

The total number of water purifiers  T= 280

The number of defective purifiers D= 12

The probability that a water purifier chosen at random will be defective (in percent)=[tex]\frac{\text{T}}{\text{D}}\times100[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{12}{280}\times100\\=0.042857\times100\\=4.2857\%\approx4.3\%[/tex]

Hence, A is the right option.


Julio paid 1.3 times his normal hourly rate for each he works over 31 hours in a week. Last week he worked 35 hours and earned $448.88. What is julios normal hourly rate ?

Answers

Hi, Globabypatricia! :)

All the time worked past 31 hours gets paid 1.3 times.
He worked 4 hours at such a rate.

31+4(1.3)
31+5.2
=36.2
Paid as if he worked 36.2 at a normal rate. 

To find his normal wage, divide 448.88 by 36.2
448.88/36.2
=12.40

His normal wage is $12.40.

To check:
12.40*31=384.40
12.40*1.3=16.12
16.12*4=64.48

384.40+64.48
=$448.88

Hope this helps.

Good question


Let his hourly rate is x

then:

31x + (35-31)*1.3x = 448.88

solve for x:

31 x + 5.2x = 448.88

36.2 x =448.88

x = 12.4$

Answers

A semicircle that contains C is ACB.

Answer:  The correct option is (D). ACB.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to identify a semi-circle that contains the point 'C'.

As shown in the figure, AB is the diameter of the circle with center 'O'.

So, there are two congruent semi-circles made by the diameter AB.

The point 'C' lies on the upper semi-circle made by the diameter AB.

Since the upper semi-circle contains the point 'C', so it is named as the semi-circle ACB.

Thus, the semi-circle ACB contains the point 'C'.

Option (D) is correct.

A new machine can make 10,000 aluminum cans three times faster than an older machine. with both machines working, 10,000 cans can be made in 9 hours. how long would it take the new machine, working alone, to make the 10,000 cans?

Answers

it takes at least 12 hours for the newer machine to make 10,000 cans

Since the new machine is three times faster, it takes (12 hours) / 3 = 4 hours for the new machine to make 10,000 cans alone.

Let's denote the time it takes the older machine to make 10,000 cans as "t" hours.

The new machine can make 10,000 cans three times faster than the older machine, which means it takes "t/3" hours for the new machine to make 10,000 cans.

When both machines are working together, they can make 10,000 cans in 9 hours.

Now, we can set up an equation based on the work rates of the two machines:

Work rate of the older machine + Work rate of the new machine = Combined work rate

The work rate is the amount of work (number of cans made) per unit of time (hours).

For the older machine:

Work rate of the older machine = 10,000 cans / t hours

For the new machine:

Work rate of the new machine = 10,000 cans / (t/3) hours

Combined work rate when both machines work together:

Combined work rate = 10,000 cans / 9 hours

Now, the equation becomes:

10,000 cans / t hours + 10,000 cans / (t/3) hours = 10,000 cans / 9 hours

To solve for "t," we can start by finding a common denominator for the fractions on the left side of the equation:

t/3 is the same as (1/3)t. So the equation becomes:

10,000 cans / t hours + 10,000 cans / (1/3)t hours = 10,000 cans / 9 hours

Now, to combine the fractions, we find the common denominator, which is 3t:

(3t * 10,000 cans) / (3t * t hours) + (t * 10,000 cans) / (3t * t hours) = 10,000 cans / 9 hours

(30,000t + 10,000t) / (3t^2 hours) = 10,000 cans / 9 hours

Combine the terms on the left side of the equation:

40,000t / (3t^2 hours) = 10,000 cans / 9 hours

Now, cross-multiply to solve for "t":

40,000t * 9 hours = 10,000 cans * 3t^2 hours

360,000t hours = 30,000t^2 hours

Now, rearrange the equation:

30,000t^2 - 360,000t hours = 0

Divide by 30,000t to simplify the equation:

t - 12 = 0

Now, solve for "t":

t = 12 hours

Therefore, it takes the older machine 12 hours to make 10,000 cans.

For a fixed amount of a gas at a constant temperature, the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to its pressure. At a pressure of 30 pounds per square inch (psi), a gas has a volume of 600 in.3. Which function can be used to model the volume of the gas y, in cubic inches, when the pressure is x psi?

Answers

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]y*x=k[/tex] or [tex]y=k/x[/tex]

Let

x-------> the pressure in PSI

y------> the volume of the gas in cubic inches

In this problem we have the point [tex](30,600)[/tex]

so

[tex]x=30\ psi\\y=600\ in^{3}[/tex]

Find the constant k

[tex]y*x=k[/tex]

substitute the values of x and y

[tex]600*30=k[/tex]

[tex]k=18,000\ lb*in[/tex]

the equation is

[tex]y=18,000/x[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex]y=18,000/x[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{18000}{x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of gas be y

Let the pressure be x

Since we are given that the volume of the gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

⇒[tex]y \propto \frac{1}{x}[/tex]

Let the proportionality be k

So, [tex]y=\frac{k}{x}[/tex]  ---A

Now we are given that At a pressure of 30 pounds per square inch (psi), a gas has a volume of 600 cubic inches

So, substitute x = 30

y = 600

[tex]600=\frac{k}{30}[/tex]

[tex]600 \times 30=k[/tex]

[tex]18000 =k[/tex]

Substitute the value of k in A

So,  [tex]y=\frac{18000}{x}[/tex]

Hence  function can be used to model the volume of the gas y, in cubic inches, when the pressure is x psi is    [tex]y=\frac{18000}{x}[/tex]

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} amount&\%\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 47.25&100\\ x&60 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{47.25}{x}=\cfrac{100}{60}[/tex]

solve for "x".

The area of the right triangle shown is 24 square feet. Which equations can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the triangle? Check all that apply.

0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24

x(x + 2) = 24

x2 + 2x – 24 = 0

x2 + 2x – 48 = 0

x2 + (x + 2)2 = 24

x2 + (x + 2)2 = 100

Please help me quickly, I really need the help. I'll even mark brainiest if you do it correctly. I really need this and I need whoever does this to pay attention to the whole "Check all that apply". I'm adding the picture below.

Answers

Given : A  = 24 sq feet

A = 0.5 base x height

base = x , height = x+2

A = 0.5 x(x+2)  = 24 sq feet

1) 0.5 x(x+2) = 24 (A) 

2) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (D)

To check the rest un-wrap the bracket:

x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 24

x^2 + x^2 + 4 + 4x = 24

2x^2 + 4x - 20 = 0

x^2 + 2x - 10= 0 (NO)

Likewise:

x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 100

x^2 + x^2  +4 + 4x = 100

2x^2 + 4x + 4 = 100

2x^2 + 4x - 96 = 0

3) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (F)


To sum up: that's what apply:

1) 0.5 x(x+2) = 24 (A) 

2) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (D)

3) x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0 (F)

The equation that can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the triangle is [tex]\rm 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24[/tex]

Given that

The area of the right triangle shown is 24 square feet.

We have to determine

Which equations can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the triangle?

According to the question

From the given figure the base of the triangle is x.

And the height of the triangle is (x+2).

What is the area of a triangle?

The area of the triangle is given by half the product of the height and base.

[tex]\rm Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times base \times height\\ [/tex]

Substitute all the values in the formula;

[tex]\rm Area \ of \ right \ triangle= \dfrac{1}{2} \times base \times height\\ \\ \rm 24= \dfrac{1}{2} \times x \times (x+2)\\\\ \rm 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24[/tex]

The equation can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the triangle is [tex]\rm 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24[/tex].

Hence, the equation can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the triangle is [tex]\rm 0.5(x)(x + 2) = 24[/tex].

Three times the difference of a number x and seven is twenty-three minus the sum of three times a number x and two. what is the value of x?

Answers

3(x - 7) = 23 - (3x + 2) =
3x - 21 = 23 - 3x - 2 =
3x - 21 = -3x + 21
3x + 3x = 21 + 21
6x = 42

x = 7 <==

The required value of x is 7.

What are linear equation?

A linear equation only has one or two variables. No variables in a linear equation is raised to power greater than 1 or used as denominator of a fraction.

Now the given statement is,

Three times the difference of a number x and seven is twenty-three minus the sum of three times a number x and two.

So converting them into numerical form,

the difference of a number x and seven = x - 7

Three times the difference of a number x and seven = 3(x - 7)

Similarly,

the sum of three times a number x and two = 3x + 2

∴ Twenty-three minus the sum of three times a number x = 23 - (3x + 2)

Therefore, the required equation is,

3(x - 7) = 23 - (3x + 2)

Expanding the brackets we get,

3x - 21 = 23 - 3x - 2

or, 3x - 21 = 21 - 3x

Taking alike terms together,

3x + 3x = 21 + 21

or, 6x = 42

Dividing both side by 6 we get,

x = 7

which is the required value of x.

Thus, The required value of x is 7.
