Answer:

The probability of the event of identifying both the defective bulb in the second attempt is \frac{1}{21}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of good light bulbs is 5 and the number of defective bulbs is 2.

It is provided that when a defective bulb is found in the inspection it is disposed.

If a defective bulb is found in the first trial the probability of his event is \frac{2}{7}.

Now the remaining number of bulbs is 6.

If a defective bulb is found in the second trial the probability of his event is \frac{1}{6}.

So the probability of identifying both the defective bulb in the second attempt is:

P (Selecting a defective bulb in 1st attempt) × P (Selecting a defective bulb in 2nd attempt) =

                     =\frac{2}{7}\times\frac{1}{6}  \\=\frac{1}{21}

Thus, the probability of the event of identifying both the defective bulb in the second attempt is \frac{1}{21}.

Answer:

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply 9 from both sides to cancel it out.

-27=-y/9

/9      /9

-3=-y

We can't have a negative variable, so we divide -1 from both sides.

-3=-y

/-1  /-1\

3=y
