The probability is 0.3, or 30%.
These are not independent events; one pill being chosen will affect the probability after that, as the pill will not be replaced before selecting the next one.
The probability of getting exactly 1 narcotic pill is given by:
(6/15)(9/14)(8/13) = 432/2730. It does not matter what order the narcotic pill is in, the overall product will be the same.
The probability of getting exactly 2 narcotic pills is given by:
(6/15)(5/14)(9/13) = 270/2730. Again, the order these are found in does not matter, as it is multiplication and will not change the product.
The probability of all 3 pills being narcotics is given by:
(6/15)(5/14)(4/13) = 120/2730.
Adding these three possibilities together, we have 822/2730 = 0.30.
If you have $5000 and you invest $2000 in a certificate of deposit, you have $3000 invested in the bonds. Each earns an annual interest of 6% and 8%, respectively. The total interest is shown below,
($2000) x 0.06 + ($3000) x 0.08 = $360
Thus, the amount of the total interest is $360.
Answer:
9/10 (one solution)
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like he used the distributive property. He multiplied 7*2. Then. 7*6. Then he multiplied them together. That is not how you multiply numbers
