Answer:

-2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply a number by its multiplicative inverse, you should get 1. So, the multiplicative inverse (or reciprocal) of -9/2 is 1/(-9/2) which is -2/9. You can get the answer by simply flipping the numerator and denominator.

Answer:

0.1354 = 13.54% probability that exactly one of these three blue ray players is defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each player, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a player being defective is independent of any other ray. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
