In a manufacturing plant that produces new computers, a 0.15 probability exists that a computer will be defective. If five computers are manufactured, what's the probability that all of them will be defective? - ANSWER A. 7.6 B. 0.60 C. 0.000076 D. 0.00042 Dana receives $30 for her birthday and $15 for cleaning the garage. If she spends $16 on a CD, how much money does she have left? - ANSWER A. $29 B. $27 C. $24 D. $12 (A) Add the amount of money received and subtract the amount spent. $30 + $15 - $16 = $29. (C) The probability that all five computers will be defective is 0.15 × 0.15 × 0.15 × 0.15 × 0.15 = 0.0000759 (round up to 0.000076). A house contains one 12-foot-×-14-foot bedroom, one 12-foot-×-10-foot bedroom, and one 8-foot-×-12-foot bedroom. What's the total amount of carpeting needed to carpet all three bedrooms? - ANSWER A. 384 square yards B. 42 2/3 square yards C. 216 square yards D. 88 square yards (B) Find the area of each bedroom and add them together: 12 × 14 = 168; 12 × 10 = 120; 8 × 12 = 96. 168 + 120 + 96 = 384 square feet. Then, because 9 square feet make up a square yard, divide the total area in square feet by 9 to determine the number of square yards needed: 384 ÷ 9 = 42 2/3 square yards. If 4 people can run 8 machines, how many machines can 2 people run? - ANSWER A. 2 B. 1 C. 4 D. 3 (C) Two people is 1⁄2 as many a
