Answer: 15.7 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the time in the beginning (in minutes).
Given: The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race.
First they reduce their time by 
2.1 minutes.
Then they are able to reduce that time by 
10
If their final time is 3.96 minutes, then
Hence, their beginning time was 15.7 minutes.
Answer:
a) 0.9644 or 96.44%
b) 0.5429 or 54.29%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The probability that at least 1 defective card is in the sample P(A) = 1 - probability that no defective card is in the sample P(N)
P(A) = 1 - P(N) .....1
Given;
Total number of cards = 140
Number selected = 20
Total number of defective cards = 20
Total number of non defective cards = 140-20 = 120
P(N) = Number of possible selections of 20 non defective cards ÷ Number of possible selections of 20 cards from all the cards.
P(N) = 120C20/140C20 = 0.0356
From equation 1
P(A) = 1 - 0.0356
P(A) = 0.9644 or 96.44%
b) Using the same method as a) above
P(A) = 1 - P(N) .....1
Given;
Total number of cards = 140
Number selected = 20
Total number of defective cards = 5
Total number of non defective cards = 140-5 = 135
P(N) = 135C20/140C20 = 0.457
From equation 1
P(A) = 1 - 0.4571
P(A) = 0.5429 or 54.29%
The better deal is the Full Warranty, by approximately 174 dollars. To solve the cost of the full warranty, simply multiply 30 percent times the cost of the washer/dryer.30 x 1,179 = 353.70. You do not need to add anything to this because the warranty covers the extra costs. To solve for the cost of the limited warranty, multiply 14 percent times the cost of the washer/dryer, plus the cost of the new parts and the repair center costs (the warranty only covers the labor repair costs): (.14 x 1,179) + 211 + 152 --> 165.06 + 211 + 152 = 528.06. The full warranty is clearly cheaper. To figure out by how much, simply subtract the full warranty from the limited warranty: 528.06 - 353.70 = 174.36. To round to the nearest number, take off the decimal: 174. So that means your answer is D hope this helps.
