<span>The <u>correct answer</u> is:

0.06.

Explanation<span>:

The probabilities of the first block having an error and the second block having an error are independent; one block having an error does not affect the probability of the second block having an error.

Since they are independent, to find the probability of both occurring, we simply multiply the probabilities:

0.2(0.3) = 0.06.</span></span>

To work out the probability of both errors occuring, simply multiply the probability of the first error by the probability of the second error. Therefore the probability of both errors occurring is 0.2 * 0.3  =  0.06.

In 2012, Gallup asked participants if they had exercised more than 30 minutes a day for three days out of the week. Suppose that
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

There is 95% confidence that the population proportion of people from Vermont who exercised for at least 30 minutes a day 3 days a week is between 55.9% and 74.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to answer the population proportion for Vermont.

We can only do it by a confidence interval, as we only have information from a sample.

This sample, of size n=100, has a proportion p=0.653.

The degrees of freedom are:

df=n-1=100-1=99

We will calculate a 95% confidence interval, which for df=99 has a critical value of t of t=1.984.

The margin of error can be calculated as:

E=t*\sigma_p=t\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}=1.984\sqrt{\dfrac{0.653*0.347}{100}}\\\\\\E=1.984*\sqrt{0.00226}=1.984*0.0476=0.094

Then, the upper and lower bounds of the confidence interval are:

LL=p-E=0.653-0.094=0.559\\\\UL=p+E=0.653+0.094=0.747

Then, we can say that there is 95% confidence that the population proportion of people from Vermont who exercised for at least 30 minutes a day 3 days a week is between 55.9% and 74.7%.

belle's bake shop makes croissants that cost $1.75 each. past experience shows that 10% of the croissants will spoil and have to
creativ13 [48]
Total cost of croissants produced = $1.75 x 300 = $525

Total expected revenue = (100 + 45%)/100 x $525 = 1.45 x 525 = $761.25

Number of croissants expected to spoint = 0.10 x 300 = 30 croissants.

Number of croissants sold = 300 - 30 = 270 croisants.

Unit price of each croissant = $761.25/270 = $2.82

Therefore, each croissant should sell for $2.82

Answer:

Both people did the same type of general question, but Jenna's method uses the distributive property to do it mentally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenna's Method: Uses distributive property to break it all down and do it mentally.

Mia's Method: She broke the equation down so much that the answer will be more complex to find.

Rob is making a scale model of the Solar System on the school field. He wants the distance from the Sun to Jupiter to be 8 metre
ANEK [815]

Answer:

1 : 9.75 * 10⁷

Step-by-step explanation:

To find n, we have to divide the real distance by the scale distance. This is 7.8 * 10⁸ / 8 = 0.975 * 10⁸ = 9.75 * 10⁷ which means that the ratio is 1 : 9.75 * 10⁷.
