Option b is true among all options.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify the true statement.

Checking each option:

a) The quotient of two negative numbers is negative.

This is false because the quotient of two negative numbers is positive.

for example: $=\frac{-4}{-2} \\=2$

b) The product of two negative numbers is positive.

This is true. If we multiply two negative numbers the result is positive.

For example: $=(-3)*(-2)\\=6$

c) The quotient of a positive number and a negative number is positive.

This is false because the quotient of a positive number and a negative number is negative.

for example: $=\frac{-4}{2} \\=-2$

d) The product of two positive numbers is negative.

This is false because the product of two positive numbers is positive.

For example: $=(3)*(2)\\=6$

So, Option b is true among all options.

A shipment of 40 fancy calculators contains 3 defective units. What is the probability if a college bookstore buys 20 calculator

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

38.46%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no names or marking that can make the calculator look different, so the order is not important. Then we should use a combination to solve this problem.

There are 40 calculators in one shipment, 37 of them good items and 3 of them are defect items. We need to choose 19 good calculators and 1 defect calculator. The number of ways to do that will be:

$\frac{37}{19}$ * $\frac{3}{1}$ = 37! $\frac{37!}{19!(37-19!)} * \frac{3!}{1!(3-1)!}$ = 53017895700
