Lol


trouble varies directly as distance
lets say t=trouble and d=distance
t=kd
k is constant

given
when t=20, and d=400
find k
20=400k
divide by 400 both sides
1/20=k



t=(1/20)d

given, d=60
find t

t=(1/20)60
t=60/20
t=3

3 troubles

zimovet [89]

Answer:

C. x = -12 and x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

-x²-10x+24=0     Original equation

x²+10x-24=0      Divide everything by -1

(x+12)(x-2)=0      Factor it out

x=-12,2               Solve so that the inside of the parentheses equals 0

15. Suppose a box of 30 light bulbs contains 4 defective ones. If 5 bulbs are to be removed out of the box.
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

1) Probability that all five are good = 0.46

2) P(at most 2 defective) = 0.99

3) Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.54

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of bulbs = 30

Number of defective bulbs = 4

Number of good bulbs = 30 - 4 = 26

Number of ways of selecting 5 bulbs from 30 bulbs = 30C5 = \frac{30 !}{(30-5)!5!} \\

30C5 = 142506 ways

Number of ways of selecting 5 good bulbs  from 26 bulbs = 26C5 = \frac{26 !}{(26-5)!5!} \\

26C5 = 65780 ways

Probability that all five are good = 65780/142506

Probability that all five are good = 0.46

2) probability that at most two bulbs are defective = Pr(no defective) + Pr(1 defective) + Pr(2 defective)

Pr(no defective) has been calculated above = 0.46

Pr(1 defective) = \frac{26C4  * 4C1}{30C5}

Pr(1 defective) = (14950*4)/142506

Pr(1 defective) =0.42

Pr(2 defective) =  \frac{26C3  * 4C2}{30C5}

Pr(2 defective) = (2600 *6)/142506

Pr(2 defective) = 0.11

P(at most 2 defective) = 0.46 + 0.42 + 0.11

P(at most 2 defective) = 0.99

3) Probability that at least one bulb is defective = Pr(1 defective) +  Pr(2 defective) +  Pr(3 defective) +  Pr(4 defective)

Pr(1 defective) =0.42

Pr(2 defective) = 0.11

Pr(3 defective) =  \frac{26C2  * 4C3}{30C5}

Pr(3 defective) = 0.009

Pr(4 defective) =  \frac{26C1  * 4C4}{30C5}

Pr(4 defective) = 0.00018

Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.42 + 0.11 + 0.009 + 0.00018

Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.54
