there are 4 of the 10-nf and 8 of the 100-nf capacitors which is a total of 12 items.

the probability of drawing a 10-nf is: 4 out of 12 = \frac{1}{3}

the probability of drawing a 100-nf is: 8 out of 12 =  \frac{2}{3}

(a)  "at least two" means: 2 or 3 or 4

Probability of 2 (10's) and 2 (100's):  \frac{1}{3} x \frac{1}{3} x \frac{2}{3} x \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{81}

Probability of 3 (10's) and 1 (100's):  \frac{1}{3} x \frac{1}{3} x \frac{1}{3} x \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{81}

Probability of 4 (10's) and 0 (100's):  \frac{1}{3} x \frac{1}{3} x \frac{1}{3} x \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{81}

2 or 3 or 4: \frac{4}{81} + \frac{2}{81} + \frac{1}{81} = \frac{7}{81}

(b) without replacement

Probability of 2 (10's) and 2 (100's):  \frac{4}{12} x \frac{3}{11} x \frac{8}{10} x \frac{7}{9} = \frac{4 x 3 x 8 x 7}{12 x 11 x 10 x 9}

Probability of 3 (10's) and 1 (100's):  \frac{4}{12} x \frac{3}{11} x \frac{2}{10} x \frac{8}{9} = \frac{4 x 3 x 2 x 8}{12 x 11 x 10 x 9}

Probability of 4 (10's) and 0 (100's):  \frac{4}{12} x \frac{3}{11} x \frac{2}{10} x \frac{1}{9} = \frac{4 x 3 x 2 x 1}{12 x 11 x 10 x 9}

2 or 3 or 4: \frac{4 x 3 x 8 x 7}{12 x 11 x 10 x 9} + \frac{4 x 3 x 2 x 8}{12 x 11 x 10 x 9} + \frac{4 x 3 x 2 x 1}{12 x 11 x 10 x 9} = \frac{672 + 192 + 24}{12 x 11 x 10 x 9} =  \frac{888}{12 x 11 x 10 x 9}  =  \frac{111}{1485}

Answer:

f(-2) = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The function has three definitions depending on the value of x.

You are looking for the value of the function at x = -2.

-2 is in the interval x <= -1, which is the first line of the definition of the function.

We use the first line of the definition of the function.

f(x) = -2x for x <= -1

f(-2) = -2(-2) = 4

Answer: f(-2) = 4
