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.
1st 
3/160
2nd
3/159
3rd
3/158 
\frac{3}{160} * \frac{3}{159} * \frac{3}{158} = \frac{27}{4019520} =0.0000067

If the original cost of a TV is 1250.00 but decreases by 4.5% each week, how many weeks before the TV will cost 800.00?
NeX [460]
This is exponential growth/decay type problem...

F=Ir^t, F=final value, I=initial value, r=rate, t=time, in this case I=1250 and r=(1-.045)=0.955 so

F=1250(.955)^t  and we want to find t for when F=800 

800=1250(.955)^t

.64=.955^t  take the natural log of both sides...

ln.64=t ln.955

t=(ln.64)/ln.995

t≈9.69 weeks

t≈9.69 weeks (to nearest hundredth of a week)
