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}.

An electrician has 4.1 meters of wire how many strips 7/10 m can he cut . How much wire will he have left
kogti [31]
7/10 m= 0.7 m

4.1÷0.7=5.85 

You would round down 5.85 to just 5, because he cannot cut less than a whole strip.

To find the exact amount of wire used in 5 strips:

5×0.7= 3.5

4.1-3.5= 0.6 m will be leftover.
