For this problem, the most accurate is to use combinations


Because the order in which it was selected in the components does not matter to us, we use combinations

Then the combinations are nC_r = \frac{ n! }{r! (n-r)!}

n represents the amount of things you can choose and choose r from them


You need the probability that the 3 selected components at least one are defective.

That is the same as:

(1 - probability that no component of the selection is defective).

The probability that none of the 3 selected components are defective is:

P = \frac{_{117}C_3}{_{120}C_3}


Where _{117}C_3 is the number of ways to select 3 non-defective components from 117 non-defective components and _{120}C_3 is the number of ways to select 3 components from 120.

_{117}C_3 = 260130

_{120}C_3 = 280840


So:

P = \frac{260130}{280840} = 0.927


Finally, the probability that at least one of the selected components is defective is:


P = 1-0.927 = 0.0737

  P = 7.4%

Your customer is located 100 miles from your office.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

8:02 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

Find out how many minutes it takes to travel one mile:

60 divided by 45= 1.333334 minutes

It takes 1.333334 minutes to travel 1 mile, how long will it take to travel 100 miles:

1.333 times 100 = 133.3334

133.3334 rounds to 133 minutes

Add 15 minutes because you want to arrive early

133+15=148

Divide it by 60

148 divided by 60 = 2.466667

or do

148-120 (2 hours) = 28 minutes

It will take 2 hours and 28 minutes to get there

10:30-2:28= 8:02
