SOLUTION

This is a binomial probability. For i, we will apply the Binomial probability formula

i. Exactly 2 are defective

Using the formula, we have

\begin{gathered} P_x=^nC_x\left(p^x\right?\left(q^{n-x}\right) \\ Where\text{ } \\ P_x=binomial\text{ probability} \\ x=number\text{ of times for a specific outcome with n trials =2} \\ p=\text{ probability of success = }\frac{4}{24}=\frac{1}{6} \\ q=probability\text{ of failure =1-}\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6} \\ ^nC_x=\text{ number of combinations = }^4C_2 \\ n=\text{ number of trials = 4} \end{gathered}

Note that I made the probability of being defective as the probability of success = p

and probability of none defective as probability of failure = q

Exactly 2 are defective becomes the binomial probability

\begin{gathered} P_x=^4C_2\times\lparen\frac{1}{6})^2\times\lparen\frac{5}{6})^{4-2} \\ P_x=6\times\frac{1}{36}\times\frac{25}{36} \\ P_x=\frac{25}{216} \\ =0.1157 \end{gathered}

Hence the answer is 0.1157

(ii) None is defective becomes

\begin{gathered} \lparen\frac{5}{6})^4=\frac{625}{1296} \\ =0.4823 \end{gathered}

hence the answer is 0.4823

(iii) All are defective

\begin{gathered} \lparen\frac{1}{6})^4=\frac{1}{1296} \\ =0.00077 \end{gathered}

(iv) At least one is defective

This is 1 - probability that none is defective

\begin{gathered} 1-\lparen\frac{5}{6})^4 \\ =1-\frac{625}{1296} \\ =\frac{671}{1296} \\ =0.5177 \end{gathered}

Hence the answer is 0.5177

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a point P that will be the vertex of the new angle.

From P, draw a ray PQ. ...

Place the compasses on point A, set to any convenient width.

Draw an arc across both sides of the angle, creating the points J and K as shown.

Hope this helps :)

Divide (15x^2+x-8)/(3x-1)
blondinia [14]
<span>Simplifying -15x2 + -2x + 8 = 0
 Reorder the terms: 8 + -2x + -15x2 = 0 Solving 8 + -2x + -15x2 = 0 Solving for variable 'x'.
 Factor a trinomial. (2 + -3x)(4 + 5x) = 0 Subproblem 1Set the factor '(2 + -3x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
 Simplifying 2 + -3x = 0 Solving 2 + -3x = 0
 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + -3x = 0 + -2
 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + -3x = 0 + -2 -3x = 0 + -2
 Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 -3x = -2
 Divide each side by '-3'. x = 0.6666666667
 Simplifying x = 0.6666666667
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + 5x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
 Simplifying 4 + 5x = 0
 Solving 4 + 5x = 0
 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
 Add '-4' to each side of the equation. 4 + -4 + 5x = 0 + -4
 Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0 0 + 5x = 0 + -4 5x = 0 + -4
 Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4 5x = -4
 Divide each side by '5'. x = -0.8 Simplifying x = -0.8
Solutionx = {0.6666666667, -0.8}</span>
