Answer: 0.8025

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of defective calculators : 17

The number of calculators are not defective : 37

Total calculators : 37+17=54

The probability of the calculators are defective : \dfrac{17}{54}=\dfrac{1}{3}

Binomial distribution formula :-

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}, where P(x) is the probability of success in x trials, n is total trials and p is the probability of success for one trial.

The probability that at least one of the calculators is defective is given by :-

P(x\geq1)=1-P(0)\\\=1-(^4C_0(\dfrac{1}{3})^0(1-\dfrac{1}{3})^4)\\\\=1-(\dfrac{2}{3})^4=0.80246913\approx0.8025

Carla is 5 years old and Jim is 13 years younger than Peter. One year ago Peter's age was twice the sum of Carla and Jim's age.
kari74 [83]
Carla = 5 years old
Jim = 2 years old
Peter = 15 years old
(Peter was 14 years old one year ago)
5+2=7
7x2=14 (14 is the age from one year ago meaning 15 is the current age)
15-2=13
