A shipment of 20 DVDs has arrived at a video rental store. Based on past experience, the manager knows that 10% of all new DVDs

sent to the store have a visible defect. The manager tells you to begin inspecting the new DVDs one at a time at random until you find the first DVD that has a defect. If 10% of the DVDs have a visible defect in the new shipment, what is the probability that the first DVD that has a defect is the 3rd one that you inspect? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Answer:

The probability is 0.081

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the probability that the 3rd inspection will be defective.

What this means is that the first two would

not be defective.

Probability of having a defective DVD = 10% = 10/100 = 0.1

Probability of not having a defective DVD = 1 -0.1 = 0.9

So the probability of third being defective = Probability of first not defective * Probability of second not defective * Probability of third defective

= 0.9 * 0.9 * 0.1 = 0.081

A taxi ride costs p40.00 for the first 500 meters and each additional 300 meters or a fraction there of adds p3.50 to the fare.u
Zarrin [17]

The function which represents the taxi fare in terms of distance d in meter is f(d) = 3.50 ×\frac{d-500}{300} + 40 .

According to the question,

For first 500 meters cost is  40.00 and For each additional 300 meters cost is 3.50 .

Let, the total distance of taxi ride = d meters

Now, representing the equation of taxi fare in terms of distance when distance is less than 500

taxi fare = 3.50 ×  \frac{d-500}{300}  + 40

∴  f(d) = 3.50 ×  \frac{d-500}{300} + 40
