Answer:

4.54%

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Write the data</u>

<em>Total bill = $170</em>

<em>Penalty = $7.72</em>

<em>Percentage of penalty = ?</em>

<u>Step 2: Write the formula to find the percentage of penalty</u>

<em>Percentage of penalty = Penalty/Total bill * 100</em>

<em>Percentage of penalty = 7.72/170 * 100</em>

Percentage of penalty = 4.54%

Therefore, the percent of penalty is 4.54%

The binomial (y − 2) is a factor of y2 − 10y + 16. What is the other factor?

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

$\left(y-8\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y^2-10y+16$

$=\left(y^2-2y\right)+\left(-8y+16\right)$

$y^2-2y$

$=yy-2y$

$=y\left(y-2\right)$

$-8y+16$

$=-8y+8\cdot \:2$

$=-8\left(y-2\right)$

$=y\left(y-2\right)-8\left(y-2\right)$

$=\left(y-2\right)\left(y-8\right)$

The other factor is:

$\left(y-8\right)$

Isosceles △ABC (AC=BC) is inscribed in the circle k(O). Prove that the tangent to the circle at point C is parallel to AB .

timofeeve [1]

Explanation:

Let M be the midpoint of AB. Then CM is the perpendicular bisector of AB. As such, center O is on CM, and OC is a radius (and CM). The tangent is perpendicular to that radius (and CM), so is parallel to AB, which is also perpendicular to CM.

If you need to go any further, you can show that triangles CMA and CMB are congruent, so (linear) angles CMA and CMB are congruent, hence both 90°.

A machine produces parts that are either defect free (90%), slightly defective (3%), or obviously defective (7%). Prior to shipm

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.0686

(b) 0.9984

(c) 0.0016

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a machine produces parts that are either defect free (90%), slightly defective (3%), or obviously defective (7%).

Let A, B, and C be the events of defect-free, slightly defective, and the defective parts produced by the machine.

So, from the given data:

P(A)=0.90, P(B)=0.03, and P(C)=0.07.

Let E be the event that the part is disregarded by the inspection machine.

As a part is incorrectly identified as defective and discarded 2% of the time that a defect free part is input.

So, $P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)=0.02$

Now, from the conditional probability,

$P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)=\frac{P(E\cap A)}{P(A)}$

$\Rightarrow P(E\cap A)=P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)\times P(A)$

$\Rightarrow P(E\cap A)=0.02\times 0.90=0.018\cdots(i)$

This is the probability of disregarding the defect-free parts by inspection machine.

Similarly,

$P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)=0.40$

and $\Rightarrow P(E\cap B)=0.40\times 0.03=0.012\cdots(ii)$

This is the probability of disregarding the partially defective parts by inspection machine.

$P\left(\frac{E}{A}\right)=0.98$

and $\Rightarrow P(E\cap C)=0.98\times 0.07=0.0686\cdots(iii)$

This is the probability of disregarding the defective parts by inspection machine.

(a) The total probability that a part is marked as defective and discarded by the automatic inspection machine

$=P(E\cap C)$

$= 0.0686$ [from equation (iii)]

(b) The total probability that the parts produced get disregarded by the inspection machine,

$P(E)=P(E\cap A)+P(E\cap B)+P(E\cap C)$

$\Rightarrow P(E)=0.018+0.012+0.0686$

$\Rightarrow P(E)=0.0986$

So, the total probability that the part produced get shipped

$=1-P(E)=1-0.0986=0.9014$

The probability that the part is good (either defect free or slightly defective)

$=\left(P(A)-P(E\cap A)\right)+\left(P(B)-P(E\cap B)\right)$

$=(0.9-0.018)+(0.03-0.012)$

$=0.9$

So, the probability that a part is 'good' (either defect free or slightly defective) given that it makes it through the inspection machine and gets shipped

$=\frac{\text{Probabilily that shipped part is 'good'}}{\text{Probability of total shipped parts}}$

$=\frac{0.9}{0.9014}$

$=0.9984$

(c) The probability that the 'bad' (defective} parts get shipped

=1- the probability that the 'good' parts get shipped

=1-0.9984

=0.0016
