Answer:

Probability of no one picking up a defective product = 571 / 1540

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of items = 22

non-defective items = 22-3 = 19

Probability of all three picking up non-defective products

= 19/22 * 18/21 * 17/20

= 969/1540

Probability of at least one picking up a defective product

= 1 - 969/1540

= 571/1540

(=0.371, approx.)

Solve the system using elimination
Pie

Answer:

(x, y) = (3, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

2x + 3y = 9 → (1)

x + 5y = 8 → (2)

multiplying (2) by - 2 then adding to (1) will eliminate the term in x

multiply (2) by - 2

- 2x - 10y = - 16 → (3)

add 1(1) and (3) term by term

(2x - 2x) + (3y - 10y) = (9 - 16)

- 7y = - 7 ( divide both sides by - 7 )

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 in either (1) or (2) and solve for x

(1) : 2x + 3 = 9 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

Solution is (3, 1 )
