Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of laptops, N = 20

Defective laptops, n = 3

School purchase 2 laptops

Case 1:

Both laptops are non defective

Probability to choose 2 laptops which are non defective

Number of non defective laptops = 20 - 3 = 17

Total number of laptops = 20

Probability, P = 17/20 = 0.85

Case 2:

One laptop is defective

Probability to chose 1 defective and one non defective laptop

P' = 3/20 x 17/19 = 0.134

Case 3:

Both laptops are defective

Choosing of 2 laptops out of 3 = 3 C 2 = 3

choosing of 2 laptops out of 20 = 20 C 2 = 190

Probability of choosing two defective laptops = 3 / 190 = 0.0158

P'' =

12-ounce bottle of orange juice contains 33 grams of sugar. Complete the table to determine the amount of sugar in different siz
svp [43]

A proportional relationship is a relationship between variables such that the amount of one variable is a multiple of the other variable

A table showing the amount of sugar in different sizes of orange juice is presented as follows;

\begin{array}{|c|cc|}\mathbf{Amount \ of \ orange \ juice, \ x}&&\mathbf{Quantity \ of \, sugar\ (g), \ f(x)}\\3&&8.25\\6&&16.5\\9&&24.75\\12&&33\\15&&41.25\end{array}\right]

Reason:

The given parameter are;

12 ounces of orange juice contains 33 grams of sugar

Therefore, we have;

The amount of sugar per ounce of orange juice is given as follows;

1 \ ounce \ of \ orange \ juice \ contains,  \dfrac{33 \ grams }{12 } = 2.75 \, grams \, of \, sugar

Therefore, there are 2.75 grams of sugar per ounce of orange juice

which gives;

The amount of sugar in different sizes of orange juice, f(x) = 2.75·x

Where <em>x</em> represents the amount of orange juice, and f(x) represents the amount of sugar in the orange juice

A table showing the amount of sugar present in different sizes of orange juice is given as follows;

\begin{array}{|c|cc|}\mathbf{Amount \ of \ orange \ juice, \ x}&&\mathbf{Quantity \ of \, sugar\ (g), \ f(x)}\\3&&8.25\\6&&16.5\\9&&24.75\\12&&33\\15&&41.25\end{array}\right]
