Answer:
0.0025 = 0.25% probability that both are defective
Step-by-step explanation:
For each item, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are defective, or they are not. Items are independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which 
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
5 percent of these are defective.
This means that 
If two items are randomly selected as they come off the production line, what is the probability that both are defective
This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So
0.0025 = 0.25% probability that both are defective
Solve for x first
-6x - 42 = -4x -2
-6x = -4x + 40
- 2x = 40
X = -20
The equation has one solution
A................................
To get the probability of selecting a person who is a
democrat and is favour to the issue, let us first calculate for the portions in
each party who is favour on the issue.
p (rep & favour) = 0.4 * 0.3 = 0.12
p (dem & favour) = 0.6 * 0.7 = 0.42
Therefore the total portions who are favour is:
p (favour) = 0.12 + 0.42 = 0.54
Hence the probability is:
P (dem & favour) = 0.42 / 0.54 = 0.7778 = 0.78
Therefore there is about 78% probability that the person
selected who is favour to the issue is a democrat.
If you keep taking 2.5% of 80,000 it can give you 2,000 Have a happy day
