Use combinations, The total outcomes for this is 10C6 = (10!/(6!(10-6)!)=210
The number of outcomes with support question "a" are 5C2*5C4= 10*5=50 (2 from 2 defective so there are 4 not defective)
The probability is 50/210= 0.238 = 23.8%
Part b: as they say "at least" that means greater than 2, so you need the probability for 1 defective + 2 defective, for 1 defective you solve 5C1*5C5/10C6= 0.024. Add the probabilities for 1 and 2 defective 0.238+0.024=0.262 = 26.2% probability at least 2 laptops defectives.

1) What percent of 440 is 369?
zimovet [89]

Answer:

119.24

Explanation:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 369 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x​.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=36​.

Step 4: In the same vein, x% = 440​.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:100%=369(1) 440(2) = x%

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have 100%/x% = 369/440

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields x%/100% = 440/369

Therefore, 440​ is 119.24% of 369.
