A group of four components is known to contain two defectives. An inspector tests the components one at a time until the two def

ectives are located. Once she locates the two defectives, she stops testing, but the second defective is tested to ensure accuracy. Let Y denote the number of the test on which the second defective is found. Find the probability distribution for Y.

Answer:

when Y = 2, P(2) = 1/6 = 0.167

when Y = 3, P(3) = 2/6 = 0.333

when Y = 4, P(4) = 3/6 = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of possible ways to choose 2 components for defectives out of 4 components = 4C2 = 6

Y can only take values of 2, 3 and 4

So, Probability of Y = P(Y) = 1C(Y-1) / 6

when Y = 2, P(2) = 1/6 = 0.167

when Y = 3, P(3) = 2/6 = 0.333

when Y = 4, P(4) = 3/6 = 0.5

If the length of a cuboid is 60cm and width 40cm and its surface area is 14800cm² find its height
kherson [118]
Formula of surface area of cuboid = 2(lb+bh+lh) . Surface area of cuboid is 14800cm^2 (Given) then 14800 = 2(60*40+40*Height+Height*60) 14800= 2(2400+40*H+H*60) 14800= 4800+80*2H+2H*60 14800= 4880*4H*60 14800/4880*60= 4H
14800/292800=4H
7400/146400=4H
3700/73200=4H
1850/36600=4H
925/18300=4H
185/3660=4H
37/732=4H
37/732*4=H
37/2928=H
H= 79.1351351
