Answer:

11.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total ways to pick 4 computers = 10×9×8×7

Total ways that at least three computers are fine =  

Total ways that all 4 are fine + Total ways any 3 are fine

Total ways that all 4 are fine = 4×3×2×1

Total ways three are fine = 1st is Not working and other 3 working +  

                           2nd is Not working and other 3 working +  

                           3rd is Not working and other 3 working +  

                           4th is Not working and other 3 working +  

                        = 6×4×3×2 + 4×6×3×2 + 4×3×6×2 + 4×3×2×6

                        = 6×4×3×2×4

The probability = Total ways that at least three computers are fine /  

                 Total ways to pick 4 computers  

               =  (4×3×2×1 + 6×4×3×2×4) / (10×9×8×7)

               = (4×3×2×25) / (10×9×8×7)

               = 11.9%

How do you find a polynomial and factor it completely?
natulia [17]

a² + 10a + 16

Find two numbers whose product equals 16 and sum equals 10:

<u>Product = 16</u>               <u>Sum = 10</u>

    1 * 16                     1 + 16 = 17      <em>doesn't work</em>

    2 * 8                     2 + 8 = 10      THIS WORKS!

    4 * 4                      4 + 4 = 8      <em>doesn't work</em>

Since 2 & 8 satisfy our requirements, those are the values that go into the parentheses.

Answer: (a + 2)(a + 8)

Note: when there is a coefficient for a², a different method is used to find the factors.
