Part (a): All are defective
Only one way of selecting the 5 defective transistors:

Number of ways of selections available = 6C5 = 16!/[5!*(15-5)!] = 4368

Probability they are all defective = Number of ways of selecting 5 defectives/Total number of ways possible = 1/4368 ≈ 0.000229

Part (b): None are defective
Total number of non defectives = 16 -5 = 11
Number of ways of selecting 5 non defective = 11C5 = 462 ways
Total number of ways possible = 16C5 = 4368
Probability of selecting 5 non defectives = 462/4368 = 11/104 ≈ 0.1058

A - all defective

B - none defective


\displaystyle |\Omega|=\binom{16}{5}=\dfrac{16!}{5!11!}=\dfrac{12\cdot13\cdot14\cdot15\cdot16}{2\cdot3\cdot4\cdot5}=4368\\ |A|=1\\ |B|=\binom{11}{5}=\dfrac{11!}{5!6!}=\dfrac{7\cdot8\cdot9\cdot10\cdot11}{2\cdot3\cdot4\cdot5}=462\\\\ P(A)=\dfrac{1}{4368}\approx0.02\%\\ P(B)=\dfrac{462}{480480}=\dfrac{1}{1040}\approx0.1\%

Which scatterplot has a correlation coefficient closest to r = 1?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

The scatter diagram that contains the correlation coefficient closest to r = 1 is the first one shown in the attached images.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient "r" measures how much two variables x and y are related. When the variables are highly related, the value of r is closer to one and the points contained in the scatter diagrams are assimilated more and more to a line. When the value of r is positive the relation is crescent and therefore the slope of the line drawn by the points in the diagram has a positive slope


Therefore, to answer this question, one must search among the attached images for the dispersion diagram in which the points resemble a straight line with a positive slope.


The scatter diagram that meets the requirements mentioned is the first one that appears in the attached images

A coat that usually cost $123 is marked 1/3 off. what is the sale price of the coat
Snowcat [4.5K]
Well if it is marked 1/3 off, then you're actually paying 2/3 of it. 2/3 of 123. " of " means multiply 2/3 * 123 = 246/3 = 82 So it now costs $ 82
