Answer: \dfrac{26}{27}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : To avoid detection at customs, a traveler places 6 narcotic tablets in a bottle containing 9 vitamin tablets that are similar in appearance.

Proportion of success : p=\dfrac{6}{9}=\dfrac{2}{3}

Sample size taken by customs official : n= 3

Let x be a binomial variable that represents the tablets in the bottle.

Using Binomial probability formula :-

P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

The probability that the traveler will be arrested for illegal possession of narcotics =P(x\geq1)=1-P(x=0)

1-^3C_0(\dfrac{2}{3})^0(1-\dfrac{2}{3})^3\\\\=1-(1)(1)(\dfrac{1}{3})^3\ [\becuase ^nC_0=1]\\\\=1-\dfrac{1}{27}=\dfrac{26}{27}

Hence, the probability that the traveler will be arrested for illegal possession of narcotics = \dfrac{26}{27}

Answer:

Top left one on the attached, must be option A

Step-by-step explanation:

A function has to have unique input values and for each input value has to have an output value.

Analyzing the graphs we can see that only one of them is a function- top left one

All the others have repeat input values, therefore are not functions
