The probability that both are defective when a customer selects 2 cartridges at random from the shelf will be 0.00766.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

The area of mathematics known as probability studies potential outcomes of events as well as their relative probabilities and distributions. Simply put, probability is the likelihood that something will occur. When we don't know how an event will turn out, we can discuss the likelihood or likelihood of various outcomes. Statistics is the study of events that follow a probability distribution.

Here,

The probability of choosing defective cartridge=7/80

So, the probability of choosing 2 defective cartridge=(7/80)²

=0.00765625

=0.00766

When a customer randomly chooses two cartridges from the shelf, the likelihood that both are flawed is 0.00766.

What is the slope of the line through (1, -1) and (5. – 7)?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two points, we can find the slope by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = (-7 - -1)/ (5-1)

    = (-7+1)/(5-1)

    = -6/4

    = -3/2

How do you compare y-intercepts and rates of change
Sphinxa [80]
Not really sure what you mean by compare. The only thing I can think of is the y intercept is generally a good point to start from to count the rise/run

Applying Rate of change
olga nikolaevna [1]
\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}&#10;minutes(x)&Mbs\ left(y)\\&#10;-----&-----\\&#10;2&38.4\\&#10;8&9.6&#10;\end{array}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies &#10;\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\impliedby \textit{rate of change}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;m=\cfrac{9.6-38.4}{8-2}\implies m=-\cfrac{24}{5}\iff m= -4.8

now, notice, the rate of change for downloading is negative, because, "y" is decreasing,  namely the Mbs to be downloaded, are less and less and less as the minutes go by, because the file is almost fully downloaded

so is -4.8

now... at 8minutes, there are 9.6Mbs to download
bear in mind that 9.6 is just 4.8 * 2
that simply means, another minute, another 4.8 Mbs, and another minute and another 4.8 Mbs and the file is done

so, the file downloaded really in 10minutes

now, we know the rate is -4.8 or -24/5,   let us nevermind the sign for now

since we know the file is downloading at 24Mbs in 5minutes, a rate of 24/5

how much is it for 10 minutes?   well 10 is really just 5 * 2

so if it downloads at a rate of 24Mbs per 5mins, in 10 minutes it downloaded 24*2 or 48Mbs
