A machine produces photodetectors in pairs. Tests show that the first photo detector is acceptable with probability 3/5. When th

e first photo detector is acceptable, the second photo detector is acceptable with probability 4/5. If the first photo detector is defective, the second photo detector is acceptable with probability 2/5.

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

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Number marbles >= 5

Discussion:

The only certain thing we can say is the jar contains at least 5 (green) marbles.  The table  shows probabilities, not certainties, and is no guarantee that any other marbles even exist  in the jar,

Thank you,

Answer:

x=-\frac{41}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Pay attention to the two tick marks. This indicates that those sides are congruent to each other and so will the angles on the bottom and top. Therefore, we can set up the equation 137+2(-3x+1)=180 and solve for x:

137+2(-3x+1)=180

137+(-6x+2)=180

137-6x+2=180

139-6x=180

-6x=41

x=-\frac{41}{6}
