<h2>Answer:</h2>
a)
The probability that both televisions work is: 0.42
b)
The probability at least one of the two televisions does not work is:
0.5833
<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>There are a total of 9 televisions.
It is given that:
Three of the televisions are defective.
This means that the number of televisions which are non-defective are:
9-3=6
a)
The probability that both televisions work is calculated by:
( Since 6 televisions are in working conditions and out of these 6 2 are to be selected.
and the total outcome is the selection of 2 televisions from a total of 9 televisions)
Hence, we get:
b)
The probability at least one of the two televisions does not work:
Is equal to the probability that one does not work+probability both do not work.
Probability one does not work is calculated by:
and the probability both do not work is:
Hence, Probability that atleast does not work is:
0.5+0.0833=0.5833

Answer:
BC ≈ 17.0 (neither Crow nor Toad is correct)
Step-by-step explanation:
The left-side ratio of (2+4)/4 = 3/2 suggests BC is 3/2 times the length DE. If that were the case, BC = (3/2)(11) = 16.5, as Crow says.
The right-side ratio of (5+9)/9 = 14/9 suggests that BC 9 is 14/9 times the length DE. If that were the case, BC = (14/9)(11) = 154/9 = 17 1/9 ≈ 17.1, as Toad says.
The different ratios of the two sides (3/2 vs 14/9) tell you that the triangles are NOT similar, so the length of BC cannot be found by referring to the ratios of the given sides.
Rather, the Law of Cosines must be invoked, first to find angle A (109.471°), then to use that angle to compute the length of BC given the side lengths AB and AC. That computation gives BC ≈ 16.971. (See the second attachment.)
