Answer:

0.1225

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Machines = 20

Defective Machines = 7

Required

Probability that two selected (with replacement) are defective.

The first step is to define an event that a machine will be defective.

Let M represent the selected machine sis defective.

P(M) = 7/20

Provided that the two selected machines are replaced;

The probability is calculated as thus

P(Both) = P(First Defect) * P(Second Defect)

From tge question, we understand that each selection is replaced before another selection is made.

This means that the probability of first selection and the probability of second selection are independent.

And as such;

P(First Defect) = P (Second Defect) = P(M) = 7/20

So;

P(Both) = P(First Defect) * P(Second Defect)

PBoth) = 7/20 * 7/20

P(Both) = 49/400

P(Both) = 0.1225

Hence, the probability that both choices will be defective machines is 0.1225

Find two additional roots of P(x)=0.<br><br> 13+sqrt 3 and 7i
vova2212 [387]
So, x = 13, x = √3 and x =7i.

now, recall that for an EVEN radical, there are two possible roots, namely is say √3 is say hmmm some value "a", that means that a*a = √3, however, -a*-a is also √3, therefore, ±√3 are two valid values, and therefore -√3 is another one.

now.... keep in mind that, complex solutions or roots, never come all by their lonesome, their sister is always with them, the conjugate, so, for 7i or namely 0 + 7i, her sister is always around, 0 - 7i, which is the other root.
