Answer:

The probability that exactly one switch is good is

P(x) =0.0392

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a switch is defective is:

P(D) = \frac{2}{100} =0.02

The probability that a switch is not defective is

P(D') = 1-P(D)=0.98

Therefore, if two switches are selected, the probability that exactly 1 is good is:

P(1=1)=P (D) P (D ') + P (D') P (D)

P(x)=(0.02)(0.98) + (0.98)(0.02)

P(x) =0.0392

<u>Answer:</u>

P (exactly one good switch) = 0.0392

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that 2% of all switches are defective.

P (defective) = \frac{2}{100} =0.02

So P (not defective) = 1 - P (defective) = 1-0.02=0.98

Now we have to find the probability of one good switch out of 2 that are used in a device.

P (exactly one good switch) = (0.02 \times 0.95) + (0.02 \times 0.95) = 0.0392

You could use simple factoring to solve this. You would factor out a 7 and then have

7(3+4m) = A

l x w = A

w= 3 +4m

Help me with this problem?<br> 15 points
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 12 is 3 times greater than 4, you simply need to divide all of the ingredients by 3.

Cactus chunks: 4 1/2 divided by 3 is 3/2 or 1 1/2

Crushed Tumbleweed: 8/3 is just 8/3 or 2 2/3

Cactus Juice: 10/4 or 2 1/2

Lizard eggs: 4

Crumbled Flower Petals: 7/4 or 1 3/4

Water: 10/3 or 3 1/3

Hope this helps!

Under which condition will two lines not have a common solution
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Each shows two lines that make up a system of equations. If the graphs of the equations intersect, then there is one solution that is true for both equations. If the graphs of the equations do not intersect (for example, if they are parallel), then there are no solutions that are true for both equations.
