D=event that chip selected is defective
d=event that chip selected is NOT defective

Four possible scenarios for the first two selections:
P(DDD)=15/100*14/99*13/98=13/4620
P(DdD)=15/100*85/99*14/98=17/924
P(dDD)=85/100*15/99*14/99=17/924
P(ddD)=85/100*84/99*15/98=17/154

Probability of third selection being defective is the sum of all cases,
P(XXD)=P(DDD)+P(DdD)+P(dDD)+P(ddD)
=3/20

Which of the following statements is true?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

1/9 can be simplified to 1/3 as 1/3 x 1/3 = 1/9  and 49/25 can be simplified to 7/5 as 7/5 x 7/5 = 49/25.

Now looking at both the fraction 1/3 and 7/5

1/3 simplifies to 0.34

It is an irrational value as the 3 keeps repeating.

7/5 simplifies to 1.4

It is a rational value as the decimal value is not repeating.

Thus making the second option the answer.

A box of mashed paragraphs flakes has a volume 220in. The box is 8 inches long and 11 inches tall. What is the width of the box
Taya2010 [7]

The width is 2.5 in. Volume = Length x Width x Height

220 = 8 \times 11 \times x

\frac{220}{8}  = x = 2.5

. Tucker is making emergency kits to share with friends. He has 20 bottles of water and 12 cans of food, which he would like to
maksim [4K]
I’m pretty sure you can make four if you’re distributing them evenly because they can both be decided by four so each kit would get 5 water bottles and 3 cans. I’m not 100% sure but lmk if it helped :)
