g Two different factories named A and B both produce an automobile part. If a part came from A, the probability that the part is defective is .04. If the part came from B, the probability that it is defective is .05. In a sample of 180 parts, 100 came from A and 80 came from B. (a) What is the probability that a part chosen at random (from the sample) was defective

0.0444 = 4.44% probability that a part chosen at random (from the sample) was defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of a defective part:

0.04 of , that is, coming from A.

0.05 of , that is, coming from B. So

0.0444 = 4.44% probability that a part chosen at random (from the sample) was defective.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
