A certain manufactured item is visually inspected by two different inspectors. When a defective item comes through the line, the probability that the first inspector misses it is 0.1. Of those that get past the first inspector, the second inspector will "miss" 5 out of 10. What fraction of defective items get by both inspectors?

The fraction of a defective item getting by both inspectors is =

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Assume that the probability of the first inspector missing a defective part is P(A) and the probability of the second inspector missing those that do get past the first inspector is P(B).

Step 2; It is given that P(A) = 0.1, we convert this into a fraction so that the final probability will be a fraction and not a decimal.

P(A) = 0.1 = .

It is given that the second inspector misses 5 out of 10 that get past the first inspector, so P(B) = .

Step 3; To calculate the probability of both inspectors missing a defective part, we multiply both the probabilities.

P(A and B happening) = P(A) × P(B) = × = = = 0.05%. So there is a 0.05% chance of both inspectors missing a defective part.

answer: y=4000x+14000

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

5(x + -6) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

5(-6 + x) = 2(x + 3)

(-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 2(x + 3)

(-30 + 5x) = 2(x + 3)

reorder the terms:

-30 + 5x = 2(3 + x)

-30 + 5x = (3 * 2 + x * 2)

-30 + 5x = (6 + 2x)

solving

-30 + 5x = 6 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 5x + -2x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x

-30 + 3x = 6 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-30 + 3x = 6 + 0

-30 + 3x = 6

add '30' to each side of the equation.

-30 + 30 + 3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0

0 + 3x = 6 + 30

3x = 6 + 30

combine like terms: 6 + 30 = 36

3x = 36

divide each side by '3'.

x = 12

simplifying

x = 12

this should .
