Suppose that in a population of 1000 there are 300 defective items and 700 items that are not defective. if you are selecting tw

o items at random from this population, what is the probability they will both be defective?

This scenario involves combinations.

To find the total number of 2-item combinations, calculate (1000 choose 2)

The count for 2-defective combinations is (300 choose 2)

The probability = \frac{300 C 2}{1000 C 2} = 0.09

PQ⊥PS , m∠QPR=7x−9, m∠RPS=4x+22<br> Find : m∠QPR
zzz [12365]

Given:

It is stated that

PQ ⊥ PS and

∠QPR = 7x-9

∠RPS = 4x+22

To find the measure of ∠QPR.

Formula

According to the problem PR sits between PQ and PS,

Consequently,

∠QPR+∠RPS = 90°

Now,

Inserting the values for ∠RPS and ∠QPR yields

7x-9+4x+22 = 90

or, 11x = 90-22+9

or, 11x = 77

or, x = \frac{77}{11}

or, x = 7

Substituting the value of x = 7 into ∠QPR gives us

∠QPR = 7(7)-9

or, ∠QPR = 40^\circ

So,

The measure of ∠QPR is 40°.

The amount of time it takes for a student to complete a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed (or, given by a random variable
Zina [12379]

Answer:

(A) 0.15625

(B) 0.1875

(C) Cannot be determined

Step-by-step explanation:

The time it takes for a student to finish a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed between 32 and 64 minutes.

Let's denote X as the duration needed for the student to complete the statistics quiz

Thus, X ~ U(32, 64)

The probability density function (PDF) for a uniform distribution is expressed as;

f(X) = \frac{1}{b-a},  a < X < b      where a = 32 and b = 64

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) is given by P(X <= x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a}

(A) The probability of a student taking longer than 59 minutes to complete the quiz = P(X > 59)

   P(X > 59) = 1 - P(X <= 59) = 1 - \frac{x-a}{b-a} = 1 - \frac{59-32}{64-32} = 1-\frac{27}{32} = 0.15625

(B) The probability that a student completes the quiz between 37 and 43 minutes = P(37 <= X <= 43)  = P(X <= 43) - P(X < 37)

    P(X <= 43) = \frac{43-32}{64-32} = \frac{11}{32} = 0.34375

    P(X < 37) = \frac{37-32}{64-32} = \frac{5}{32} = 0.15625

    P(37 <= X <= 43) = 0.34375 - 0.15625 = 0.1875

(C) The probability that a student takes exactly 44.74 minutes to complete the quiz

     = P(X = 44.74)

This probability cannot be calculated as it is a continuous distribution, which doesn't provide probabilities for specific points.

At the local dairy farm, Kareem buys a 32-oz container of yogurt for $2.56. Jonah buys a 6-oz container of yogurt for $0.48. Are
Zina [12379]

Answer:

Yes, the cost y in dollars and the quantity of yogurt x are indeed proportional.

The relationship can be expressed as: y=0.08x


Step-by-step explanation:

1. If y varies directly with x, it can be represented as:

y=kx

Here, k represents the constant of proportionality.

2. We'll calculate the proportionality constant. Given that y=2.56 and x=32, we have:

y=kx\\k=\frac{y}{x}\\k=\frac{2.56}{32}\\k=0.08

3. Thus, the equation becomes:

y=0.08x

4. Now, we need to verify proportionality. Substituting x=6, which is the quantity of yogurt purchased by Jonah, we should arrive at $0.48:

y=0.08(6)\\y=0.48

5. They are indeed directly proportional.

Lila needs a custom frame for a painting that her friend made for her. I’ve Been Framed is offering 50 percent off plus an addit
Leona [12618]

Answer:

The Framers provides the more affordable price, being $1.35 less expensive.

Step-by-step explanation:

I've Been Framed:

50% of $115 amounts to $57.5.

10% of $57.5 equals $5.75.

Subtracting gives $57.5 - $5.75 = $51.75.

Total: $51.75

The Framers:

30% off $120 results in $36.

After discount, $120 - $36 equals $84.

40% off $84 is $33.6.

Subtracting gives $84 - $33.6 = $50.4.

Price difference: $1.35
