A machine in a factory has an error rate of 2 parts per 100. The machine normally runs 24 hours a day and produces 10 parts per hour. Yesterday the machine was shut down for 2 hours for maintenance.

How many error-free parts did the machine produce yesterday?

49% Answer Correctly
131.9
215.6
160.7
184

Solution

The hourly error rate for this machine is the error rate in parts per 100 multiplied by the number of parts produced per hour:

\( \frac{2}{100} \) x 10 = \( \frac{2 \times 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{20}{100} \) = 0.2 errors per hour

So, in an average hour, the machine will produce 10 - 0.2 = 9.8 error free parts.

The machine ran for 24 - 2 = 22 hours yesterday so you would expect that 22 x 9.8 = 215.6 error free parts were produced yesterday.

vans = \( \frac{98}{14} \) = 7

Christine scored 87% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 120 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Christine answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
14
36
26
33

Solution

Christine scored 87% on the test meaning she earned 87% of the possible points on the test. There were 120 possible points on the test so she earned 120 x 0.87 = 104 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{104}{4} \) = 26 questions right.
