Answer:

a.) 0.5

b.) 0.66

c.) 0.83

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

Total Number of Batteries in the drawer = 10

Total Number of defective Batteries in the drawer = 4

⇒Total Number of non - defective Batteries in the drawer = 10 - 4 = 6

Now,

As, a sample of 3 is taken at random without replacement.

a.)

Getting exactly one defective battery means -

1 - from defective battery

2 - from non-defective battery

So,

Getting exactly 1 defective battery = ⁴C₁ × ⁶C₂ = $\frac{4!}{1! (4 - 1 )!}$ × $\frac{6!}{2! (6 - 2 )!}$

= $\frac{4!}{(3)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{2! (4)!}$

= $\frac{4.3!}{(3)!}$ × $\frac{6.5.4!}{2! (4)!}$

= $4$ × $\frac{6.5}{2.1! }$

= $4$ × $15$ = 60

Total Number of possibility = ¹⁰C₃ = $\frac{10!}{3! (10-3)!}$

= $\frac{10!}{3! (7)!}$

= $\frac{10.9.8.7!}{3! (7)!}$

= $\frac{10.9.8}{3.2.1!}$

= 120

So, probability = $\frac{60}{120} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

b.)

at most one defective battery :

⇒either the defective battery is 1 or 0

If the defective battery is 1 , then 2 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₁ × ⁶C₂ = 60

If the defective battery is 0 , then 3 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₀ × ⁶C₃

= $\frac{4!}{0! (4 - 0)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{3! (6 - 3)!}$

= $\frac{4!}{(4)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{3! (3)!}$

= 1 × $\frac{6.5.4.3!}{3.2.1! (3)!}$

= 1× $\frac{6.5.4}{3.2.1! }$

= 1 × 20 = 20

getting at most 1 defective battery = 60 + 20 = 80

Probability = $\frac{80}{120} = \frac{8}{12} = 0.66$

c.)

at least one defective battery :

⇒either the defective battery is 1 or 2 or 3

If the defective battery is 1 , then 2 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₁ × ⁶C₂ = 60

If the defective battery is 2 , then 1 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₂ × ⁶C₁

= $\frac{4!}{2! (4 - 2)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{1! (6 - 1)!}$

= $\frac{4!}{2! (2)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{1! (5)!}$

= $\frac{4.3.2!}{2! (2)!}$ × $\frac{6.5!}{1! (5)!}$

= $\frac{4.3}{2.1!}$ × $\frac{6}{1}$

= 6 × 6 = 36

If the defective battery is 3 , then 0 non defective

Possibility = ⁴C₃ × ⁶C₀

= $\frac{4!}{3! (4 - 3)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{0! (6 - 0)!}$

= $\frac{4!}{3! (1)!}$ × $\frac{6!}{(6)!}$

= $\frac{4.3!}{3!}$ × 1

= 4×1 = 4

getting at most 1 defective battery = 60 + 36 + 4 = 100

Probability = $\frac{100}{120} = \frac{10}{12} = 0.83$

What is the value of 4*(-1+2-3+4-3+6-7+....+100) Show your work. [Pls help I am really drowning in work. 50 points + brainliest

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

$4(-1+2-3+4-5+6-7...+100)$

We can rearrange the numbers to obtain:

$4((-1-3-5-7-...-99)+(2+4+6...+100))$

From the left, we can factor out a negative. So:

$4(-(1+3+5+7+...+99)+(2+4+6...+100))$

In other words, we want to find the sum of all the odd numbers from 1 to 99.

And the sum of all the even numbers from 2 to 100.

Let's do each one individually:

Odd Terms:

We have:

$(1+3+5+7+...+99)$

We can use the arithmetic series formula, where:

$S=\frac{k}{2}(a+x_k)$

Where k is the number of terms, a is the first term, and x_k is the last term.

Since it's all the odd numbers between 1 and 99, there are 50 terms.

Our first term is 1 and our last term is 99. So, the sum of all the odd terms are:

$S=\frac{50}{2}(1+99})$

Divide the fraction. Add within the parentheses:

$S=25(100)$

Multiply:

$S=2500$

So, the sum of all the odd terms is 2500.

Even Terms:

We have:

$(2+4+6+...+100)$

Again, we can use the above formula.

Our first term is 2, last term is 100. And since it's from 2-100, we have 50 even terms. So:

$S=\frac{50}{2}(2+100)$

Divide and add:

$S=25(102)$

Multiply:

$S=2550$

We originally had:

$4(-(1+3+5+7+...+99)+(2+4+6...+100))$

Substitute them for their respective sums:

$4(-(2500)+2550)$

Multiply:

$4(-2500+2550)$

Add:

$=4(50)$

Multiply:

$=200$

So, the sum of our sequence is 200.

And we're done!

Note: I just found a <em>way</em> easier way to do this. We have:

$4\cdot(-1+2-3+4-5+6-7+...+100)$

Let's group every two terms together. So:

$=4((-1+2)+(-3+4)+(-5+6)...+(-99+100))$

We can see that they each sum to 1:

$=4((1)+(1)+(1)+...+(1))$

Since there are 100 terms, we will have 50 pairs, so 50 times 1. So:

$=4(50)$

Multiply:

$=200$

Pick which one you want to use! I will suggest this one though...

The probability for success of an event is P(A), and the probability of success of a second, independent event is P(B). What is

Alborosie

Given:

The probability for success of an event is P(A)

The probability of success of a second, independent event is P(B).

To find:

The probability of both events occurring, in that order.

Solution:

If A and B are two independent events, then

$P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)$

It is given that,

The probability for success of an event is P(A)

The probability of success of a second, independent event is P(B).

Since A and B both are independent event and we need to find the probability of both events occurring, in that order, i.e., $P(A\cap B)$ , therefore $P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)$ .

Hence, the correct option is A.
