Of the coffee makers sold in an appliance store, 4.0% have either a faulty switch or a defective cord, 2.5% have a faulty swi

tch, and 0.1% have both defects. What is the probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord? Express the answer as a percentage.

Answer: Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let A be the event of getting a faulty switch.

Let B be the event of getting a defective cord.

Here, P(A∪B) = 4% = 0.04

P(A∩B) = 0.1% = 0.001

P(A) = 2.5% = 0.025

We need to find P(B):

As we know that

$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)\\\\0.04=P(A)+0.025-0.001\\\\0.04=P(A)+0.024\\\\P(A)=0.04-0.024=0.376$

Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.

1. Which formula defines the sequence f(1)=2, f(2)= 6, f(3)= 10, f(4)= 14, f(5)= 18?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

$f(n) =4 + f(n-1) \\for\ n>2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(1)=2\\ f(2)= 6\\ f(3)= 10\\ f(4)= 14\\ f(5)= 18$

Required

Determine the formula

First, we need to solve common difference (d)

$d = f(n) - f(n-1)$

Take n as 2

$d = f(2) - f(2-1)$

$d = 6 - 2$

$d = 4$

Represent each function as a sum of the previous

$f(1) = 2$

$f(2) = 2 + 4 = f(1) + 4$

$f(3) = 6 + 4 = f(2) + 4$

$f(4) = 10 + 4 = f(3) + 4$

$f(5) = 14 + 4 = f(4) + 4$

Represent the function as $f(n)$

$f(n) =f(n-1) + 4$

Reorder

$f(n) =4 + f(n-1) \\for\ n>2$

You sell sporting goods. Your wages depend on the value of your sales. One week you sold $3,500 in sporting goods, earning $950.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

y = 0.2x + 250

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sales be x and y be earnings

thus,

given

x₁ = $3,500 ; y₁ = $950

and,

x₂ = $2,800 ; y₂ = $810

Now,

the standard line equation is given as:

y = mx + c

here,

m is the slope

c is the constant

also,

m = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

or

m = $\frac{810-950}{\textup{2,800-3,500}}$

or

m = 0.2

substituting the value of 'm' in the equation, we get

y = 0.2x + c

now,

substituting the x₁ = $3,500 and y₁ = $950 in the above equation, we get

$950 = 0.2 × $3,500 + c

or

$950 = $700 + c

or

c = $250

hence,

The equation comes out as:

y = 0.2x + 250

11/12−6/1q+6/5q−3/1, Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression.

Nikolay [14]

Answer: $-\frac{25}{12} -\frac{24q}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{11}{12} -\frac{6}{1} q+\frac{6}{5}q-\frac{3}{1}$

$\frac{11}{12} -6q+ \frac{6q}{5} -\frac{3}{1}$

$\frac{11}{12}-6q \frac{6q}{5} -3$

$(\frac{11}{12} -3)+(-6q+\frac{6q}{5} )$

$-\frac{25}{12}- \frac{24q}{5}$

Simplify three times, collect like terms and simplify again, how to collect like terms see their differences and then put them into groups, for example I put all the numbers without variables on one side and all the numbers with variables on another.

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great rest of Black History Month! :-)

Which statement proves that △XYZ is an isosceles right triangle? XZ ⊥ XY XZ = XY = 5 The slope of XZ is , the slope of XY is , a

hammer [34]

The first statement, XZ ⊥ XY and XY = XZ = 5 proves that the triangle XYZ is isosceles.

One isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles.

And you should also know the theorem that states that if two sides of a triangle are congruent then the two angles opposite that sides are also congruent.

So, given that the two sides XZ and XY are congruent, their opposite sides are also congruent, and that proves that the the triangle is isosceles.
