Answer:
0.2611 = 26.11% probability that exactly 2 calculators are defective.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each calculator, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a calculator being defective is independent of any other calculator, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which 
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
5% of calculators coming out of the production lines have a defect.
This means that 
Fifty calculators are randomly selected from the production line and tested for defects.
This means that 
What is the probability that exactly 2 calculators are defective?
This is P(X = 2). So
0.2611 = 26.11% probability that exactly 2 calculators are defective.
Since no possible correct method is posted, I will suggest a couple.
Method 1: guess and check
Works well for simple problems involving integers like this one.
Victor's age must be zero or greater than one, say one.
Guess v=1, find m=v+6=7, check m=5v-2=5-2=3 no good.
we need to make v bigger
Guess v=2, find m=v+6=2+6=8, check m=5v-2=5*2-2=8 ✔
So v=2, m=8.
Method 2:
Solve the system of two equations.
since the left-hand sides is m in both equations, and since m=m, we just have to equate the right-hand sides to solve for v.
5v-2=v+6
Solve for v
5v-v = 6+2
4v=8
v=2,
so again, v=2, m=v+6=2+6=8.
Answer:
The person would have to play 2 games for the two bowling alleys to cost the same amount
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that the number of games that makes the two costs equal is x
∵ A bowling alley charges $2.50 per game plus $4 to rent shoes
∵ The number of games is x
∴ The cost = 2.50x + 4
∵ A second bowling alley charges $4 per game plus $1 to rent shoes
∵ The number of games is x
∴ The cost = 4x + 1
∵ They have the same cost
→ Equate the 2 expressions above
∴ 4x + 1 = 2.50x + 4
→ Subtract 2.50x from both sides
∵ 4x - 2.50x + 1 = 2.50x - 2.50x + 4
∴ 1.50x + 1 = 4
→ Subtract 1 from both sides
∵ 1.50x + 1 - 1 = 4 - 1
∴ 1.50x = 3
→ Divide both sides by 1.50
∴ x = 2
∴ The person would have to play 2 games for the two bowling alleys to
cost the same amount
First you do what is inside the parentheses. 10 x 5 - 3. 50 - 3 =47. Then you multiply 47 x 5 = 235.
