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

In a race in which seven automobiles are entered and there are no? ties, in how many ways can the first three finishers come? in
Alinara [238K]

This is a type of permutation problems in statistics. A permutation is a way in which the set of numbers can be arranged or order. In mathematics permutation relates to the act of ordering or arranging all the set of numbers into some sequence or order, or if the set is already in order or arranged its element the process is called permuting. Well, there are seven ways the first place can come in, then 6 ways for a second, and then 5 ways for third... so we multiply the 3 ways to get on how many different ways the first three finishers come in. 7*6*5 = 210 ways

The correct answer is: "The value of the 5 in 50.8 is 1,000 times the value of the 5 in 18.35."

Step-by-step explanation:

When numbers are considered, their position or place value matters a lot.

When a decimal number is written, moving left from the decimal point the place value increases ten times and while moving to the right the place value decreases 10 times.

Given two numbers are:

50.8 and 18.35

In order to compare the 5 in both numbers we have to find the place value of 55 in both numbers.

So,

<u>In 50.8:</u>

The place value of 5 in 50.8 is: 50

<u>In 18.35:</u>

The place value of 5 will be: 5/100

To compare the values, we will divide the larger place value by smaller place value

=\frac{50}{\frac{5}{100}}\\\\=\frac{50*100}{5}\\\\= \frac{5000}{5}\\\\=1000\ times

Hence,

The correct answer is: "The value of the 5 in 50.8 is 1,000 times the value of the 5 in 18.35."

1. How are pounds per gallon and kilograms per liter alike? How are they different?
Goryan [66]

Answer:

2)= 4.4704 meters per seconds

3)= 12in= 1ft ratio is 12:1

4)= 1ft=12in ratio is 1:12

5)= 3ft= 1 yard ratio is 3:1

6)=1 yard = 3ft ratio 1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

12 in = 1 foot

1 yard = 3 feet

How would I set up question one?
Darina [25.2K]

A straight line is 180 degrees:

25x + 8 + 9x + 2 = 180

Combine like terms:

34x + 10 = 180

Subtract 10 from both sides:

34x = 170

Divide both sides by 34:

X = 5

Now solve the smaller angle:

9x + 2 = 9(5) + 2 = 45 + 2 = 47

They angle with the y is a vertical angle to 47 so needs to also equal 47:

7y + 5 = 47

Subtract 5 from both sides:

7y = 42

Divide both sides by 7:

Y = 6

Answer: x = 5, y = 6
