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

Finding the roots (zeros)
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

1.5 + 1.3228756555323i

1.5 - 1.3228756555323i

Step-by-step explanation:

y = ax^2 + bx + c

a = 1, b = -3, c = 4

Using the quadractic formula:

\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} \\\\= \frac{3±\sqrt{9-4(1)(4)}}{2(1)}\\\\= \frac{3±2.64i}{2}\\\\= 1.5 ±  1.32

Note: Kindly ignore the A in the above solution ^

Hence, there is no real solution. It has complex roots.

Determine the value(s) of k such that the system of linear equations has the indicated number of solutions. (Enter your answers
Ratling [72]

Answer:

k=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations are

9x+ky=24

kx+y=8

We need to find the value of k if the given system of equation have infinite number of solutions.

If two equations a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0 and a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0 have infinite number of solutions, then

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}=\dfrac{c_1}{c_2}

Using this we get

\dfrac{9}{k}=\dfrac{k}{1}=\dfrac{-24}{-8}

\dfrac{9}{k}=\dfrac{k}{1}=3

\dfrac{k}{1}=3

k=3

Therefore, the value of k is 3.
