Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The box has n = 20 light-bulbs

- The number of defective bulbs, d = 5

Find:-

what's the probability that at most two of them are defective

Solution:-

- We will pick 2 bulbs randomly from the box. We need to find the probability that at-most 2 bulbs are defective.

- We will define random variable X : The number of defective bulbs picked.

Such that,               P ( X ≤ 2 ) is required!

- We are to make a choice " selection " of no defective light bulb is picked from the 2 bulbs pulled out of the box.

- The number of ways we choose 2 bulbs such that none of them is defective, out of 20 available choose the one that are not defective i.e n = 20 - 5 = 15 and from these pick r = 2:

        X = 0 ,       Number of choices = 15 C r = 15C2 = 105 ways

- The probability of selecting 2 non-defective bulbs:

      P ( X = 0 ) = number of choices with no defective / Total choices

                       = 105 / 20C2 = 105 / 190

                       = 0.5526

- The number of ways we choose 2 bulbs such that one of them is defective, out of 20 available choose the one that are not defective i.e n = 20 - 5 = 15 and from these pick r = 1 and out of defective n = 5 choose r = 1 defective bulb:

        X = 1 ,       Number of choices = 15 C 1 * 5 C 1 = 15*5 = 75 ways

- The probability of selecting 1 defective bulbs:

      P ( X = 1 ) = number of choices with 1 defective / Total choices

                       = 75 / 20C2 = 75 / 190

                       = 0.3947

- The number of ways we choose 2 bulbs such that both of them are defective, out of 5 available defective bulbs choose r = 2 defective.

        X = 2 ,       Number of choices = 5 C 2 = 10 ways

- The probability of selecting 2 defective bulbs:

      P ( X = 2 ) = number of choices with 2 defective / Total choices

                       = 10 / 20C2 = 10 / 190

                       = 0.05263

- Hence,

    P ( X ≤ 2 ) = P ( X =0 ) + P ( X = 1 ) + P (X =2)

                     = 0.5526 + 0.3947 + 0.05263

                     = 1

If the blue radius below is perpendicular to the green chord and the segment BC is 7.6 units long, what is the length of the cho
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. 15.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment AB is congruent to the segment BC  eg AB≅BC Why?

We can prove it with the triangle congruent theorem, postulate side-side-angle

We are watching triangle ΔABO and triangle ΔCBO, they are congruent

first element side OB=OB - common side

second element side OA=OC=r - radius of the circle

third element angle ∡ABO≅∡CBO=90°

According to the postulate side-side-angle we can conclude that triangles

ΔABO≅ΔCBO (triangles are congruent)

If they are congruent all of their elements are also congruent and therefore also

side AB=BC  => AB+BC=AC,  which is chord  => 7.6+7.6=15.2 units

AC= 15.2 units ( chord )

Good luck!!!

The general form of the equation of a circle is Ax2 By2 Cx Dy E = 0, where A = B 0. If the circle has a radius of 3 units and th
Tems11 [23]
The other form of circle equation is (x-a)2 + (y-b)2 = r2. a and b is the coordinate of the center and r is radius. So the equation is x2+(y-4)2=9. Change it to the general form is x2+y2-8y+7=0. So A=1, B=1, C=0, D=-8 and E=7.
