Use Binomial Theorem
P(x=k) = (nCk) p^k (1-p)^{n-k}
Where k is number that are defective, n is total selected (3), and p is probability that a transistor is defective (3/17).

a) All are defective means k = 3
P = (3C3) (\frac{3}{17})^3 (\frac{14}{17})^0 = (\frac{3}{17})^3 = 0.0055

b) None are defective means k = 0
P = (3C0) (\frac{3}{17})^0 (\frac{14}{17})^3 = (\frac{14}{17})^3 = 0.5585

Pre-calc<br> Evaluate f(2) using substitution:<br> f(x) = 2x^3 – 3x^2– 18x-8
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

f(2) = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

Just substitute x=2 into the function:

f(x) = 2x³ - 3x² - 18x - 8

f(2) = 2(2)³ - 3(2)² - 18(2) - 8

f(2) = 2(8) - 3(4) - 36 - 8

f(2) = 16 - 12 - 44

f(2) = 4 - 44

f(2) = -40

Answer:

l=26

w=20

Step-by-step explanation:

l-6=w

2l+2w=92

2l+2(l-6)=92

2l+2l-12=92

4l=104

l=26

(26)-6=w

w=20
