Answer:

1 - \frac{(20-k)(19-k)(18-k)(17-k)(16-k)}{20*19*18*17*16}

Step-by-step explanation:

If k items out of 20 total items are defective, then the number of non-defective item is 20 – k. The probability of choosing 5 items where all of them are non-defective is

- For the 1st slot the chance is (20 – k)/20

- For the 2nd slot the chance is (20-k-1)/(20-1) = (19-k)/19

- For the 3rd slot: (18 – k)/18

- 4th : (17 – k)/17

- 5th: (16 – k)/16

The probability in total would be

\frac{(20-k)(19-k)(18-k)(17-k)(16-k)}{20*19*18*17*16}

So the probability of selecting at least 1 defective item is the inverse of this, which is

1 - \frac{(20- k)(19-k)(18-k)(17-k)(16-k)}{20*19*18*17*16}

What is the volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 4.9 ft, rounded to the nearest
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To round 4.9 to nearest tenth means to round the numbers so you only have one digit in the fractional part. 4.9 already has only one digit in the fractional part. Thus, 4.9 is already rounded as much as possible to the nearest tenth and the answer is: 4.9

Need Help On This Problem PLZ :-)
anastassius [24]

Answer:

y = 9 + 19x

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation matching a set of data, you simply try a few values for x and see if by solving that side of the equation you get the value of y.  If you do, you found your equation.

You have a big advantage here... since you have the value of y when x = 0.

When x = 0, y = 9, that's a very important data to have to simplify your research.

Let's try the value of 0 for x in each of the given equations:

y = 18 + 10 (0) = 18  --- NO

y = 9 + 19 (0) = 9 --- YES!  We can confirm with another value of x:

y = 9 + 19 (1) = 28 --- YES! Confirmed!

y = 9 + 19x is your answer!
