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

Kim bought a poster that cost $8.95 and a ome colored pencils.The total cost was $21.35.How much did the colored pencils cost?
Dafna11 [192]
If the total cost was 21.35, and the poster cost 8.95, then all you need to do is subtract to poster cost from the total cost to find the cost of the pencil.
21.35-8.95= $12.40
