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'' =

The volume of cube x divided by the volume of cube y is 27. What is the side length of cube x divided by side length of cube y
Svetach [21]
If the volume of cube x divided by the volume of cube y is 27, then <span>he side length of cube x divided by side length of cube y would be 3. This is computed by solving the cube root of 27, since the side of the cube was multiplied thrice to get the volume so when geeting the side of the cube it is best to have the number be in cube root form.</span>

Each exterior angle of a regular decagon has a measure of (3x + 6)". What is the value of x?
dedylja [7]

Answer:10

Step-by-step explanation:

Each exterior angle is (3x + 6)°

A decagon has 10 sides

Each exterior angle=360/n

n=number of sides

3x+6=360/10

Cross multiply

10(3x + 6)=360

30x+60=360

Collect like terms

30x=360-60

30x=300

Divide both sides by 30

30x/30=300/30

x=10
