Explain how the complement can be used to find the probability of getting at least one item of a particular type

The outcome A="At least one" means {1,2,3,4,5......n}   where n is the maximum possible outcome.

The only other outcome (B) left (i.e. the complement of the above event "at least one") is (B)={0}.

Therefore, by Kolmogorov's second axiom, A and B are complements, and
P(A)+P(B)=1
therefore
P(A)=1-P(B), or in words,
Probability of outcomes of "at least one" is the complement of the outcome of "0" item.

The answer is C.

Note when Soro divides both sides by -2.5 to solve the equation. When multiplying/dividing by a negative number, one should always reverse the inequality sign, but Soro forgot to do this.

-2.5x≥-30

After this step, the answer SHOULD HAVE been:

x≤12

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Keith has 40-pound bags of mulch in his truck that weigh a total of 3600 pounds. His Owner’s Manual lists the truck’s capacity a
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Keith must remove 90-75 = 15 bags in order to meet the weight requirements

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved by consecutive rules of three problem.

Rule of three problem:

In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.

When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too. In this case, the rule of three is a cross multiplication

When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease. In this case, the rule of three is a line multiplication.

In this problem, the measures are:

- The number of bags

- The total weight

As the number of bags increases, so do the total weight. So, the relationship between the measures is direct.

To know how many bags does Keith need to remove in order to meet the weight requirements, we first need to know how many bags are in the truck currently.

The problem states that each bag weighs 40 pounds and the weight of the truck is 3600 pounds, so:

1 bag - 40 pounds

x bags - 3600 pounds

40x = 3600

x = \frac{3600}{40}

x = 90.

Keith currently has 90 bags in the truck.

Now, we have to know how much bags he can have in the truck, that is, 3000 pounds worth of bags. So:

1 bag - 40 pounds

x bags - 3000 pounds

40x = 3000

x = \frac{3000}{40}

x = 75.

The truck's capacity is at most 75 bags.

So, Keith must remove 90-75 = 15 bags in order to meet the weight requirements

Suppose that a process is currently operating at a 3.5-sigma quality level, and it is planned to use improvement projects to mov
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

11,373 PPM

Step-by-step explanation:

The following  formula is used to compute the Proportion of error-free units given the sigma level in Excel.

<em>  The proportion of error-free units = NORMSDIST(Sigma Level - 1.5) </em>

Suppose that a process is currently operating at a 3.5-sigma quality level.

The proportion of error-free units for this process is

                           NORMSDIST(3.5 - 1.5) = 0.977250

Therefore, the rejection rate is equal to

                  1 - 0.977250 = 0.022750

or 22750 PPM.

Now, consider a 6-sigma level process.

The proportion of error-free units equals

                     NORMSDIST(6.0 - 1.5) = 0.9999966

and the rejection rate is

                             1 - 0.9999966 = 3.4 PPM

Hence, reduction is PPM required per year , that is

                              \dfrac{22750 - 3.4}{2} = 11,373 PPM

reduction per year

Express x% of 4 plus y% of 5 as a percentage of 11
djverab [1.8K]
X% of 4 = x*4/100 = 0.04x

y% of 5 = x*5/100 = 0.05y

x% of 4 + y% of 5 = 0.04x + 0.05y

How you express a number, n, as percentage of 11?: [n/11]*100= 9.10n %

Then make n = 0.04x + 0.05y

9.10n %= 9.10[0.04x + 0.05y] %= (0.3656x + 0.455y)%

.
