In a certain manufacturing process it is known that, on average,1 in every 100 items is defective. What is the probability that
1 answer:
Answer:
0.96% probability that the 5th item inspected is the first defective item found
Step-by-step explanation:
We have these following probabilities:
1% probability that an item is defective.
99% probability that an item is not defective.
What is the probability that the 5th item inspected is the first defective item found?
First four not defective, with a 99% probability.
Fifth defective, with a 1% probability. So
0.96% probability that the 5th item inspected is the first defective item found

Answer:
(A)A coordinate plane with a line starting at (negative 2, negative 4), passing through (0, negative 2) and (2, 1).
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the line: y=x-2
Comparing with the slope-intercept form y=mx+b
- Slope, m=1
- y-intercept is -2.
Therefore, the point (0,-2) must be on the line.
Only Options A and D have this point.
We then determine which has a slope, m=1.
<u>Option A</u>
Using points (-2,-4) and (0,-2)
Slope,
<u>Option D</u>
Using points (-3,0) and (0,-2)
Slope,
Therefore, Option A satisfy the requirements.
