A group of 500 transistors is known to contain one defective unit. What is the probability that a transistor selected at random from the lot is the bad one?

Answers

Answer 1
So, we can define probability as the following ratio: Number of successful outcomes over Number of total outcomes. Suppose we define an event to be the drawing of one transistor from the lot. If we want to calculate the probability that it is defective, a "successful" event would be drawing a defective transistor. Hence there is 1 successful event. But we can choose from 500 transistors, hence there are 500 total outcomes. Thus, the ratio that defines the probability P is: p=1/500. Calculating this, yields that p=0.002 or p=2%
Answer 2

The answer is 1/500 because it will always be the probability of the event occurring/total events

Caleb has an offer from a credit card issuer for 0% APR for the first 30 days and 17.68%
APR afterwards, compounded daily. What effective interest rate is Caleb being offered?

17.61%

19.19%

17.68%

19.33%

Answers

Solution:- Answer is 19.33%

Annual percentage rate (APR) is the yearly rate for a price which have to pay for borrowing money through credit card.

Here Caleb has an offer from a credit card issue for i=0% APR for the first 30 days.

now, effective interest rate for n= 30 days  

=[tex]r=(1+\frac{i}{n} )^n-1\\\Rightarrow\ r=(1+\frac{0}{30} )^{30}-1\\\Rightarrow\ r=(1+0)^{30}-1=1-1=0[/tex]

After 30 days APR =17.68%=0.1768

n=365-30=335 days

now the effective interest rate for n=335 days

=[tex]r=(1+\frac{i}{n} )^n-1\\\Rightarrow\ r=(1+\frac{0.1789}{335} )^{335}-1\\\Rightarrow\ r=(1+0.000527)^{335}-1=(1.000527)^{335}-1=1.1933-1=0.1933[/tex]

=19.33%

So the effective interest rate for 365 days =0+19.33% =19.33%

So fourth option is correct.

Simplify completely quantity 4 x squared minus 32 x plus 48 all over quantity 3 x squared minus 17 x minus 6.

Answers

For this case we must simplify the following expression:

[tex]\frac {4x ^ 2-32x + 48} {3x ^ 2-17x-6}[/tex]

Simplifying the numerator, dividing all the terms by 4, we have:

[tex]x ^ 2-8x + 12[/tex]

We factor by looking for two numbers that when added together give -8 and when multiplied by 12. These are: -6 and -2

[tex]-6-2 = -8\\-6 * -2 = 12[/tex]

So, we have to:

[tex]x ^ 2-8x + 12 = (x-6) (x-2)[/tex]

Simplifying the denominator:

We rewrite -17x as -18x + x:

[tex]3x ^ 2-18x + x-6[/tex]

We factor the highest common denominator of each group:

[tex]3x (x-6) +1 (x-6)[/tex]

We factor the polynomial by factoring the highest common denominator (x-6):

[tex](x-6) (3x + 1)[/tex]

So, we have to:

[tex]3x ^ 2-17x-6 = (x-6) (3x + 1)[/tex]

Substituting in the original expression we have:

[tex]\frac {(x-6) (x-2)} {(x-6) (3x + 1)} = \frac {x-2} {3x + 1}[/tex]

ANswer:

[tex]\frac {4x ^ 2-32x + 48} {3x ^ 2-17x-6} = \frac {x-2} {3x + 1}[/tex]

Rhianna has $5.25 in dimes and nickels for a total of 63 coins. how many dimes does she have

Answers

Answer:

The number of dimes she has = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Rhianna has $5.25 in dimes and nickels for a total of 63 coins.

Let the number of nickels be x and the dimes be y.

Since nickels = 0.05 cent and Dimes = 0.10 cent

Now we will form the equations.

10 y + .05 x = 5.25

5x + 10y = 525

x + 2y = 105 ------(1)

x + y = 63 ----(2)

By subtracting equation 2 from 1.

(x + 2y)-(x + y) = 105 - 63

x + 2y - x - y = 42

y = 42

By putting y = 42 in equation 1

x + 42 = 63

x = 63 - 42 = 21

Therefore

Number of dimes will be 42.

If 88% of milk is water, what percentage do the other components equal

Answers

The percentage that the other components is equal to 100%-88%=12%

The correct answer is that the other components equal 12% of the milk.

To solve this problem, one must understand that the total percentage of all components in milk must add up to 100%. Given that 88% of milk is water, the remaining percentage will be the sum of all other components in the milk.

To find the percentage of the other components, subtract the percentage of water from the total percentage:

Total percentage of milk = 100%

Percentage of water in milk = 88%

Percentage of other components = Total percentage of milk - Percentage of water in milk

Percentage of other components = 100% - 88%

Percentage of other components = 12%

Therefore, the other components in the milk make up 12% of the milk.

Complete question:- If 88% of milk is water, what percent do the other components equal?

Answer for number 5?

Answers

you should try to divide 192 by the 4 sides on the rectangle.
The first thing you should know is that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
 P = 2L + 2W
 Where,
 L: side
 W: width
 On the other hand we have that the ratio is:
 L / W = 5/3
 Clearing L we have:
 L = (5/3) * (W)
 Substituting in the expression of the perimeter:
 P = 2 ((5/3) * (W)) + 2W
 Rewriting:
 P = (16/3) W
 The perimeter is 192:
 192 = (16/3) W
 We cleared W:
 W = (3/16) * (192)
 W = 36
 Finally we substitute W in the expression for L:
 L = (5/3) * (W)
 L = (5/3) * (36)
 L = 60
 Answer: 
 The width and length are: 
 W = 36 yards

Formulate the recursive formula for the following geometric sequence.
{-16, 4, -1, ...}

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a_{n} =\frac{-a_{n-1}}{4}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a geometric sequence { -16, 4, -1, .... }

i.e. [tex]a_{1} =-16[/tex], [tex]a_{2} =4[/tex], [tex]a_{3} =-1[/tex], ...

We will first find the common ratio 'r'.

Now, [tex]r=\frac{a_{n}}{a_{n-1}}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]r=\frac{a_{2}}{a_{1}}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]r=\frac{4}{-16}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]r=\frac{1}{-4}[/tex]

Similarly, i.e. [tex]r=\frac{a_{3}}{a_{2}}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]r=\frac{-1}{4}[/tex]

So, we get that the common ratio is [tex]r=\frac{-1}{4}[/tex].

Now, the recursive formula for the geometric sequence is given by,

[tex]a_{n} =r \times a_{n-1}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]a_{n} =\frac{-1}{4} \times a_{n-1}[/tex]

i.e. [tex]a_{n} =\frac{-a_{n-1}}{4}[/tex].

Hence, the recursive formula for this sequence is [tex]a_{n} =\frac{-a_{n-1}}{4}[/tex].

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.

y = 2x + 7; (3, 11)

I'm so bad at math please help!??

Answers

Parallel to y = 2x + 7, passes through (3, 11)

Alrighty, so remember : if an equation is parallel to another equation, then both of their slopes are the same. 

Identify the slope of our given line. Since our equation is in slope-intercept form, remember that "m" is the slope. Therefore, our slope is 2.

Now, plug in (3, 11) and "m" (2) into slope intercept form, y=mx+b. We're essentially just finding "b" which is our y-intercept.

y = mx+b

(11) = (2)(3) + b

Simplify.

11 = 6 + b

Subtract 6 from both sides.

11 - 6 = b

Therefore, b = 5

So now plug everything into our new equation.

Remember that our new equation has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 5.

y = mx+b

y = 2x + 5

Which of the following is the solution to the equation 25^(z + 2) = 125?

Answers

Answer:

z = -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using exponent rule:

[tex]x^a = x^b[/tex] then a = b

Given the equation:

[tex]25^{z+2} = 125[/tex]

We can write 25 and 125 as:

[tex]25 = 5 \cdot 5 = 5^2[/tex]

[tex]125 = 5 \cdot 5 \cdot 5 = 5^3[/tex]

then;

[tex]5^{2(z+2)}= 5^3[/tex]

Apply the rule:

[tex]2(z+2) = 3[/tex]

using distributive property [tex]a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c[/tex]

[tex]2z+4 = 3[/tex]

Subtract 4 from both sides we have;

[tex]2z = -1[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

z = -0.5

Therefore, the solution for the given equation is, z = -0.5

Four int variables, x1, x2, y1, and y2, have been declared and been given values. write an expression whose value is the difference between the larger of x1 and x2 and the smaller of y1 and y2.

Answers

Even though we are using variables, we still know that "difference" means subtraction. So, if the larger is x1 and x2, those variables go first. The smaller, y1 and y2 will go second. So our problem will look like this:

(x1 <  x2 ? x2 : x1) - (y1 < y2 ? y1 : y2)
Final answer:

To find the difference between the larger of x1 and x2 and the smaller of y1 and y2, you first identify these respective values using max and min functions. Then, simply subtract the smaller value from the larger one.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we first identify the larger value between x1 and x2, and the smaller value between y1 and y2. We can do this by using the 'max' function for the variables x1 and x2 and the 'min' function for y1 and y2. Once we have identified these values, we then compute the difference between the larger of x1 and x2 and the smaller of y1 and y2. This concept is based on comparison operations in mathematics.

Here is how it would look like in a programming context:

int larger = Math.max(x1, x2);

int smaller = Math.min(y1, y2);

int difference = larger - smaller;

where 'difference' is the answer you are looking for.
