Answer:

Option D. 938/969

Step-by-step explanation:

At most 2 defective means 2 or less than 2 bulbs are defective

So, we have 3 cases:

a) No defective bulb.       b) 1 defective bulb.      c) 2 defective bulbs

Case a) No defective bulb

Total number of bulbs = 20

Number of defective bulbs = 5

Number of non-defective bulbs = 15

Total number of ways to select 0 defective bulb = 15C4 = 1365

Case b) 1 defective bulb

Total number of ways to select 1 defective bulb = 15C3 x 5C1 = 2275

Case c) 2 defective bulbs

Total number of ways to select 2 defective bulbs = 15C2 x 5C2 = 1050

Therefore, total number of ways to select at most 2 defective bulbs = 1365 + 2275 + 1050 = 4690

Total number of ways to select 4 bulbs from 20 = 20C4 = 4845

Therefore, probability of selecting at most 2 defective bulbs = \frac{4690}{4845}=\frac{938}{969}

Therefore, option D gives the correct answer.

Determine whether the origin is included in the shaded region and whether the shaded region is above or below the line for the g
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Option: D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

since we are given a inequality as:

y

Clearly from the graph of the following inequality we could see that the origin is included in the shaded region and the shaded area is below the line.

Also it could be seen that if we put the origin points i.e. (0,0) in the inequality than 0<2 and the condition is true and hence origin is included in the shaded area.

Hence, option D is true.

The time to complete the construction of a soapbox derby car is normally distributed with a mean of three hours and a standard d
TEA [102]

Answer:

The probability that it would take more than four hours to construct a soapbox derby car = 0.1587 or 15.87\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

Mean (\nu )  = 3 hours

Standard deviation (\sigma  ) = 1 hours

Let X be the no of hours to construct a soapbox derby car

the probability that it would take more than four hours to construct a soapbox derby car =

P(X > 4)  = P(\frac{X - \nu }{\sigma}> \frac{4 - 3 }{1})

                = P(Z > 1)                   Put (Z = \frac{X - \nu }{\sigma})

                 =  1 -  P(Z <  1)            

                 =  1 - .8413                    Using z table

                  = 0.1587
