Answer:

Martina 29, Scott 23 and Jim 69.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that:

Martina served six more X orders than Scott (X+6).

So, Scott served X orders.

And Jim served 3 times X order as Scott.

We will have then:

X + (X+6) + 3X = 121

5X + 6 = 121

5X = 121 - 6

5X = 115

X = 115/5

X = 23

So, Scott served 23 orders, Martina 29 and Jim 69.

What is the value of z?

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

z = 61

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle is congruent (equal to) the sum of the 2 farthest angles from it, so you can set the equation like this:

z + z - 11 = z + 50

Add like terms, which would be the 2 "z's" on the left side:

2z - 11 = z + 50

Then subtract the z on the right side from both sides:

2z - 11 = z + 50

-z -z

___________

z - 11 = 50

Add 11 to both sides:

z - 11 = 50

+ 11 +11

________

z = 61

Suppose there are 4 defective batteries in a drawer with 10 batteries in it. A sample of 3 is taken at random without replacemen

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

a.) 0.5

b.) 0.66

c.) 0.83

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

Total Number of Batteries in the drawer = 10

Total Number of defective Batteries in the drawer = 4

⇒Total Number of non - defective Batteries in the drawer = 10 - 4 = 6

Now,

As, a sample of 3 is taken at random without replacement.

a.)

Getting exactly one defective battery means -

1 - from defective battery

2 - from non-defective battery

So,

Getting exactly 1 defective battery = ⁴C₁ × ⁶C₂ = $\frac{4!}{1! (4 - 1 )!}$ × $\frac{6!}{2! (6 - 2 )!}$

= $\frac{4!}{(3)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{2! (4)!}$

= $\frac{4.3!}{(3)!}$ × $\frac{6.5.4!}{2! (4)!}$

= $4$ × $\frac{6.5}{2.1! }$

= $4$ × $15$ = 60

Total Number of possibility = ¹⁰C₃ = $\frac{10!}{3! (10-3)!}$

= $\frac{10!}{3! (7)!}$

= $\frac{10.9.8.7!}{3! (7)!}$

= $\frac{10.9.8}{3.2.1!}$

= 120

So, probability = $\frac{60}{120} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

b.)

at most one defective battery :

⇒either the defective battery is 1 or 0

If the defective battery is 1 , then 2 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₁ × ⁶C₂ = 60

If the defective battery is 0 , then 3 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₀ × ⁶C₃

= $\frac{4!}{0! (4 - 0)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{3! (6 - 3)!}$

= $\frac{4!}{(4)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{3! (3)!}$

= 1 × $\frac{6.5.4.3!}{3.2.1! (3)!}$

= 1× $\frac{6.5.4}{3.2.1! }$

= 1 × 20 = 20

getting at most 1 defective battery = 60 + 20 = 80

Probability = $\frac{80}{120} = \frac{8}{12} = 0.66$

c.)

at least one defective battery :

⇒either the defective battery is 1 or 2 or 3

If the defective battery is 1 , then 2 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₁ × ⁶C₂ = 60

If the defective battery is 2 , then 1 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₂ × ⁶C₁

= $\frac{4!}{2! (4 - 2)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{1! (6 - 1)!}$

= $\frac{4!}{2! (2)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{1! (5)!}$

= $\frac{4.3.2!}{2! (2)!}$ × $\frac{6.5!}{1! (5)!}$

= $\frac{4.3}{2.1!}$ × $\frac{6}{1}$

= 6 × 6 = 36

If the defective battery is 3 , then 0 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₃ × ⁶C₀

= $\frac{4!}{3! (4 - 3)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{0! (6 - 0)!}$

= $\frac{4!}{3! (1)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{(6)!}$

= $\frac{4.3!}{3!}$ × 1

= 4×1 = 4

getting at most 1 defective battery = 60 + 36 + 4 = 100

Probability = $\frac{100}{120} = \frac{10}{12} = 0.83$
