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

80m<br> 60m<br> What is the length of the hypotenuse?
12345 [234]

Answer:

In geometry, a hypotenuse is the longest side of a right-angled triangle, the side opposite the right angle. The length of the hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
