Answer: P(A or B) = 7/25

the probability that exactly one photo detector of a pair is acceptable is 7/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The probability that the first photo detector is acceptable P(A)= 3/5

The Probability that the first photo detector is defective P(A') = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 3/5 = 2/5

The probability that the second photo detector is acceptable given that the first one is defective P(B|A')= 2/5

The probability that the second photo detector is defective given that the first one is acceptable P(B'|A) = 1 - 4/5 = 1/5

The probability that exactly one photo detector of a pair is acceptable is given as:

P(A/B) = P(A)P(B'|A) + P(A')P(B|A')

P(A/B) = 3/5 × 1/5 + 2/5 × 2/5

P(A/B) = 7/25

Solve the equation for all values of x by completing the square.<br> 3x^2-60x+255=0
erik [133]

Answer:

x=5 and x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2-60x+225=0

3x^2-60x+225/3=0/3

x^2-20x+75=0

x^2-5x-15x+75=0

x(x-5)-15(x-5)=0

(x-5)(x-15)=0

x-5=0 x-15=0

x=5 x=15
