Answer:

55/2574 ≈ 2.18%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 13 people on the council.

The probability that the first person is a Democrat is 8/13.

The probability that the second person is a Democrat is 7/12.

The probability that the third person is a Republican is 5/11.

The probability that the fourth person is a Republican is 4/10.

The probability that the fifth person is a Republican is 3/9.

The total probability is:

P = (8/13) (7/12) (5/11) (4/10) (3/9)

P = 56/2574

P ≈ 0.0218

There is a 2.18% probability of selecting two Democrats and three Republicans.

How many defective telephones
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Option 3: 300 phones

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Phone produces each day: 1000

Number of phones that were checked = 30

Defective phones = 9

So the probability of defective phones will be calculated by dividing the number of defective phones by total number of phones checked.

So, the probability of defective phones

= 9/30

= 0.3 or 30%

So, from 1000 phones the defective phones will be:

1000*0.3

= 300 Phones ..
