<span>3 of the 20 toothbrushes are defective, so the initial probability of selecting a defective toothbrush on the first try is 3/20. After that, there will be 2 defective toothbrushes in the remaining 19, so the probability of selecting one of those on the 2nd try will be 2/19. To get the probability of those two events happening sequentially, we multiply the two probabilities. Thus (3/20)*(2/19) = 6/380 = 0.0157, or about 1.6%.</span>

3x+3=x+53

2x=50

x=25

so x=25, x+1=26, x+2=27

What is the range of the function f (x)=3.2x for the domain (-4, -2, 0, 2, 4)?
Aneli [31]
So we don't have to multiply each domain, we just need to find the lowest and highest domain and put it into the equation (since we're just multiplying)
-4 and 4 are the lowest and highest.
3.2×-4=-12.8; this means that when 4 is put into the equation, it will be 12.8 since they're opposites.
So, the range is -12.8 to 12.8.

In a large population, 60 % of the people have been vaccinated. If 5 people are randomly selected, what is the probability that
Delvig [45]
<h3>Answer:    0.98976</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

60% of the people have been vaccinated, so 40% have not.

The probability of getting five people in a row that aren't vaccinated is (0.40)^5 = 0.01024

Subtract this from 1 to get the probability of at least one vaccinated person in the sample of five.

1-0.01024 = 0.98976

This works because the events "at least one vaccinated" and "none vaccinated" are complementary. One or the other must happen, which means the two probabilities add to 1.

\\ \sf\longmapsto f(x)=112-kx

  • f(-3)=121

Put -3 in f(x)

\\ \sf\longmapsto f(-3)=121

\\ \sf\longmapsto 112-k(-3)=121

\\ \sf\longmapsto 112+3k=121

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3k=9

\\ \sf\longmapsto k=3
