This problem can be solved from first principles, case by case.  However, it can be solved systematically using the hypergeometric distribution, based on the characteristics of the problem:
- known number of defective and non-defective items.
- no replacement
- known number of items selected.

Let
a=number of defective items selected
A=total number of defective items
b=number of non-defective items selected
B=total number of non-defective items
Then 
P(a,b)=C(A,a)C(B,b)/C(A+B,a+b)
where 
C(n,r)=combination of r items selected from n,
A+B=total number of items
a+b=number of items selected

Given:
A=2
B=3
a+b=3
PMF:
P(0,3)=C(2,0)C(3,3)/C(5,3)=1*1/10=1/10
P(1,2)=C(2,1)C(3,2)/C(5,3)=2*3/10=6/10
P(2,0)=C(2,2)C(3,1)/C(5,3)=1*3/10=3/10
Check: (1+6+3)/10=1 ok
note: there are only two defectives, so the possible values of x are {0,1,2}

Therefore the 
PMF:
{(0, 0.1),(1, 0.6),(2, 0.3)}

Calculate the area of the shaded sector in the circle​
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Approximately, 6.283..

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate the area of the whole circle

We have radius(r)=4 cm

Area of circle(a)=pir^2

=pi×(4)^2

=pi×16

=Approximately,50.265......

A cirlce has a total of 360 degrees

Therefore,we can conclude 360 degrees=50.265...

or,1 degree=50.265/360

1 degree=Approximately,0.139

Now,

Area for the shaded region = Area of 45 degree

=0.139×45=Approximately,6.283.....

Therefore,the area of the shaded region is approximately,6.283....

because you have to look at what both sides of the graph is doing as it approaches 2.

from the left, we can see the the graph is going down All the way to 0 at x=2.

and from the right side, the graph is going up to 0 at x=2.

therefore the graph is approaching 0.
