Answer:
There is a probability of 76% of not selling the package if there are actually three dead batteries in the package.
Step-by-step explanation:
With a 10-units package of batteries with 3 dead batteries, the sampling can be modeled as a binomial random variable with:
- n=4 (the amount of batteries picked for the sample).
- p=3/10=0.3 (the proportion of dead batteries).
- k≥1 (the amount of dead batteries in the sample needed to not sell the package).
The probability of having k dead batteries in the sample is:

Then, the probability of having one or more dead batteries in the sample (k≥1) is:

Since 3/5 are tulips, that makes the remaining flowers not tulips. Therefore, 2/5 of the flowers in her garden are not tulips. Hope this helps!
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
33769/181
Discussion:
Each term contains "x" so factoring it out gives
x( 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17) = 71 (*)
Use common factor (17*14*4 = 952) as the denominator to combine terms:
1/4 = (17*14)/ 952 = 238/952
1/14 = (17*4)/952 = 68/952
1/17 = (14*4)/952 = 56/952
so 1/4 + 1/14 + 1/17 = (238 + 68 + 56)/ 952 = 362/952 = 181/476
Substituting in (*) gives
x ( 181/476) = 71 => multiply both sides by 476/181
x = (71 * 476)/181 => 71* 476 =33769
x = 33769/181
Thank you,
