A dumpling machine automatically inserts mixed vegetables and meat filled wontons into a plastic package. Past experience revealed that some packages were underweight and some were overweight, but most of them had satisfactory weight. Weight % of Total
Underweight 2.5
Satisfactory 90.0
Overweight 7.5

Required:
What is the probability of selecting two packages that are satisfactory?

a. 0.900
b. 0.729
c. 0.810
d. 0.075

c. 0.810

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, total % of satisfactory packages = 90% = 0.90

Now, since selecting a satisfactory package is independent of any other trials (i.e. all the selection trials are independent to each other)

Hence, Probability of selecting two packages that re satisfactory

P(Selecting 2 satisfactory packages) = (0.90)^2

P(Selecting 2 satisfactory packages) = 0.90*0.90

P(Selecting 2 satisfactory packages) = 0.810

Note: We are selecting product since the chance of selecting in each trials are independent.

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
