If you would like to know who is the tallest, you can calculate this using the following steps:

Jackie ... j
Samuel: 5/8 inch + j = 5/8 + j = 0.625 + j
Shelly: 0.7 inch + j = 0.7 + j
Craig: 1/2 inch + j = 1/2 + j = 0.5 + j

The correct result would be: Shelly is the tallest.

A shipment of 40 fancy calculators contains 3 defective units. What is the probability if a college bookstore buys 20 calculator

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

38.46%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no names or marking that can make the calculator look different, so the order is not important. Then we should use a combination to solve this problem.

There are 40 calculators in one shipment, 37 of them good items and 3 of them are defect items. We need to choose 19 good calculators and 1 defect calculator. The number of ways to do that will be:

$\frac{37}{19}$ * $\frac{3}{1}$ = 37! $\frac{37!}{19!(37-19!)} * \frac{3!}{1!(3-1)!}$ = 53017895700
