Answer:

0.3667 or 36.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting at least 1 defective hard disk among the 5 (P(X>0)) is equal to 100% minus the probability of getting none defectives (1-P(X=0)).

If 23 out of 25 hard disks are non-defective, the probability is:

P(X>0) = 1 -P(X=0)\\P(X>0) = 1 -\frac{23}{25}*\frac{22}{24} *\frac{21}{23} *\frac{20}{22} *\frac{19}{21}\\ P(X>0) = 0.3667=36.67\%

The probability that there is at least 1 defective hard disk is 0.3667 or 36.67%.

Let a, b, c, and d be non-zero real numbers. If the quadratic equation ax(cx + d) = -b(cx+d) is solved for x, which of the follo
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Option d

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a, b, c, and d be non-zero real numbers.

ax(cx + d) = -b(cx+d) \\acx^2+x(ad+bc)+bd =0

we can factorise this equation by grouping

(acx^2+xad)+)xbc+bd) =0\\ax(cx+d) +b(cx+d) =0\\(ax+b)(cx+d) =0

Equate each factor to 0 to get

x=\frac{-b}{a} , \frac{-d}{c}

Ratio of one solution to another would be

\frac{-b}{a} / \frac{-d}{c} \\=\frac{ad}{bc}

So ratio would be ad/bc

Out of the four options given, option d is equal to this

So option d is right

Find two consecutive odd integers whose product is 899
UNO [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let two consecutive odd numbers

x, x+2

According to condition

X(x+2) = 899

x2 +2x -899=0

X2 +31x -29x -899=0

x(x+31) -29(x+31)=0

(x+31)(x-29)=0

X=-31 or x =29

Now,

X=29

X+2= 29+2 = 31

Two consecutive odd numbers is 29 and 31
