The required probability is \frac{36}{55}

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, a shipment of 11 printers contains 2 that are defective.  

We have to find the probability that a sample of size 2, drawn from the 11, will not contain a defective printer.

Now, we know that, \text { probability }=\frac{\text { favourable outcomes }}{\text { total outcomes }}

Probability for first draw to be non-defective =\frac{11-2}{11}=\frac{9}{11}

(total printers = 11; total defective printers = 2)

Probability for second draw to be non defective =\frac{10-2}{10}=\frac{8}{10}=\frac{4}{5}

(printers after first slot = 10; total defective printers = 2)

Then, total probability =\frac{9}{11} \times \frac{4}{5}=\frac{36}{55}

Levart [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 1 = 4x + 3

x - 1 = 3

x = 4

5(4) - 1 + 4(4) + 3

20 - 1 + 16 + 3

19 + 16 + 3 = 35 + 3 = 38

Answer:

Equation: 7x - 23 = 25 + x

Solution: x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 23 = 25 + x

1. Subtract 25 from both sides:

7x - 23 - 25 = 25 - 25 + x

7x - 48 = x

2. Subtract 7x from both sides to get x on one side:

7x - 7x - 48 = x - 7x

- 48 = -6x

3. Divide both sides by -6 to get x by itself:

8 = x

8 is the solution
