Answer:

The expected number of defective batteries to be pulled out is 0.9, which rounded to the nearest integer gives a total of 1, that is, 1 of the 3 batteries is expected to be defective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a box contains 3 defective batteries and 7 good ones, and I reach in and pull out three batteries, to determine what is the expected number of defective batteries, the following calculation must be performed:

3 + 7 = 100

3 = X

10 = 100

3 = X

3 x 100/10 = X

300/10 = X

30 = X

3 x 3/10 = X

0.9 = X

Therefore, the expected number of defective batteries to be pulled out is 0.9, which rounded to the nearest integer gives a total of 1, that is, 1 of the 3 batteries is expected to be defective.

ramone has 5 difficult questions left to answer on a multiple choice test. Each question has 3 choices. For the first 2 of these

olchik [2.2K]

1. a b c
2. a b c
3. a b c
4. a b c
5. a b c

then she eliminated 1 choice in 1 and 2, say as follows

1. b c
2. a b
3. a b c
4. a b c
5. a b c

Probability of answering correctly the first 2, and at least 2 or the remaining 3 is
P(answering 1,2 and exactly 2 of 3.4.or 5.)+P(answering 1,2 and also 3,4,5 )

P(answering 1,2 and exactly 2 of 3.4.or 5.)=
P(1,2,3,4 correct, 5 wrong)+P(1,2,3,5 correct, 4 wrong)+P(1,2,4,5 correct, 3 wrong)
also P(1,2,3,4 c, 5w)=P(1,2,3,5 c 4w)=P(1,2,4,5 c 3w )
so
P(answering 1,2 and exactly 2 of 3.4.or 5.)=3*P(1,2,3,4)=3*1/2*1/2*1/3*1/3*2/3=1/4*2/9=2/36=1/18

note: P(1 correct)=1/2
P(2 correct)=1/2
P(3 correct)=1/3
P(4 correct)=1/3
P(5 wrong) = 2/3

P(answering 1,2 and also 3,4,5 )=1/2*1/2*1/3*1/3*1/3=1/108

Ans: P= 1/18+1/108=(6+1)/108=7/108

8.)What is the Measurement of angle 2?<br><br> 9.) What is the measure of angle 7?

EastWind [94]

Answer:

angle 2 = 90° {corresponding angles}

angle 7 + angle 5 = 180° {linear pair}

or, angle 7 + 100° = 180° {angle 5 is corresponding to 100°}

so, angle 7 = 80°

The function f(x) is represented by this table of values.

Darya [45]

The average slope (s) on the interval [a, b] is given by
s = (f(b) -f(a))/(b -a)

When there are a lot of computations to do, it is convenient to let a machine do them. The intervals and slopes are ...
[0, 5] : 5
[-3, 3] : 0
[-5, 3] : -2
[-3, 5] : 2
