I know two ways that we can use in this problem, it depends on your knowledge in your math class.
The first way is using the combinatorial formula, and probability:
P = possibles outcomes from the event/ all outcomes from the experiment
Using combinatoria P = (2C2*4C1)/(6C3)
2C2 is the possibles ways to get two defectives and we calculate that:
2C2=2!/(2!*(2-2)!)=1
Then, 4C1 is the possibles ways to get 1 no defective (remember you need only 3 test and you expect 2 are defective from the question), calculating:
4C1=4!/(1!*(4-1)!)=4
And 6C3 represents the all possible ways to get 3 calculators (no matter if they defective or not), calculating:
6C3=6!/(3!*(6-3)!)=20
Apply p formula:
<span>P = (1*4)/20 = 1/5 = 0.2</span> in percertage 20%

The another way to calculate this problem is using the tree diagram or multiplication rule:
P=(2/6)*(1/5)*(4/4)=1/15  (here you are saying the order of computer, first and second defective and the last one no defective)
P=(2/6)*(4/5)*(1/4)=1/15 ( the second is no defective, and the others are defective)
P=(4/6)*(2/5)*(1/4)=1/15 (the first one is no defective and the others are defective)
Finally add the three result above, and get the answer:
<span>P=1/15+1/15+1/15 = 3/15 = 1/5 = </span>0.2

What’s the answer???
docker41 [41]

Answer: B, D, and E

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

        f(x) = x² - 1

(0, 1):    1 = (0)² - 1   ⇒   1 = -1   FALSE

(1, 0):    0 = (1)² - 1   ⇒   0 = 0   TRUE

(3, 5):   5 = (3)² - 1   ⇒   5 = 8   FALSE

(5, 24): 24 = (5)² - 1   ⇒   24 = 24   TRUE

(-2, 3):   3 = (-2)² - 1   ⇒   3 = 3   TRUE

(-4, -17): -17 = (-4)² - 1   ⇒   -17 = 15   FALSE

Expand 6(x-8)= x- (8) = help me
maksim [4K]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x-8)= x- (8)

6x - 48=x - 8

6x- 48 + 48 = x - 8 + 48

6x = x + 40

6x - x = x + 40 - x

5x = 40

5x/5 = 40/5

x = 8

Hope it helps! :)

a store had a sale to celebrate veterans day. Every item in the store is advertised as 1/5 off the original price. If an item is
makkiz [27]

Answer:

$175

Step-by-step explanation:

let the original price be x

if 1/5 is off the price then the sells is at 4/5

4/5 of x = 140

thus,

4/5* x=140

4x = 140*5

x=700/4

x=$175
