0.00067% chance it will be rejected.
The probability of each event occurring multiplied together will give us the total probability of one item being defective found in the 3.

3/160

3/159
3rd
3/158 
\frac{3}{160} * \frac{3}{159} * \frac{3}{158} = \frac{27}{4019520} =0.0000067

Solve the following equation
Gnoma [55]
40x+8x^2=0 can be solved for x (there are two solutions):

Divide all 3 terms by the greatest common multiple (which is 8x):

40x+8x^2=0
------------- -----
       8x       8x

5 + x = 0             produces the root x = - 5.   

Setting 8x = 0 and solving for x produces the root x = 0.

Be certain to check these results.  substitute x = -5 into 40x+8x^2=0.  Is the resulting equation true or false?  Next, subs. x=-5 into 40x+8x^2=0.  Is the resulting equation true or false?

So would the answer be 5 eighths?
adelina 88 [10]
No, the answer is 3/8 because if 3/4 of the cars are Sudan's, and half of that three quarters are white, you need to divide three quarters into two to get the answer. I did this question by using the equivalent fraction 6/8 and dividing both numbers into two.
