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

Bruce has a rope that is 21 feet long he needs to cut the rope into 1/5 long peices. How many strips can Bruce cut from his rope
dybincka [34]

Bruce has a rope that is 21 feet long he needs to cut the rope into 1/5 long pieces.

The length of the rope = 21 feet

the length of each strip = \frac{1}{5}

We need to cut the rope 21 feet into \frac{1}{5} strips

To find the number of strips we divide 21 feet by the length of the strip

\frac{21}{\frac{1}{5}} = 21 * \frac{5}{1} = 105

105 strips can Bruce cut from his rope.

A triangle has two sides of length 17 and 2. What is the largest possible whole number length
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The largest possible value for the third side is  18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the first side of the triangle  = 17

Second side of the triangle  = 2

Let us assume the third side of the triangle  = m

Now, In any given triangle:

"Sum of any two sides of a triangle is strictly greater than the third side."

⇒ Sum of first side  +  Sum of second side   > Third Side

   or,     m < 17 + 2

   or,     m  <  19

hence, the largest possible value for m = 18
