Question:

If a sample of 2 hammer is selected

(a) find the probability that all in the sample are defective.

(b) find the probability that none in the sample are defective.

Answer:

a Pr = \frac{2}{110}

b Pr = \frac{72}{110}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n = 11 --- hammers

r = 2 --- selection

This will be treated as selection without replacement. So, 1 will be subtracted from subsequent probabilities

Solving (a): Probability that both selection are defective.

For two selections, the probability that all are defective is:

Pr = P(D) * P(D)

Pr = \frac{2}{11} * \frac{2-1}{11-1}

Pr = \frac{2}{11} * \frac{1}{10}

Pr = \frac{2}{110}

Solving (b): Probability that none are defective.

The probability that a selection is not defective is:

P(D') = \frac{9}{11}

For two selections, the probability that all are not defective is:

Pr = P(D') * P(D')

Pr = \frac{9}{11} * \frac{9-1}{11-1}

Pr = \frac{9}{11} * \frac{8}{10}

Pr = \frac{72}{110}

Which of the following points are on the line given by the equation y = 5x?
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

C and E

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we plug in the X values of the coordinates into the equation to see if they'll give us the corresponding Y value.

(X, Y)

Example:

Y = 5X

6 != 5 * 3

We do this for every coordinate point. If the problem doesn't make sense, it doesn't fall on the line. Let's test every one of these.

B. (0, 1)

1 != 5 * 0

C. (3, 15)

15 = 5 * 3

D. (4, 2)

2 != 5 * 4

E. (-1, -5)

-5 = 5 * -1

F. (-1, 5)

5 != 5 * -1

* For those who don't know, the !=  is how to say "not equal to" in computer science.

Need help with a math question
Margaret [11]

Answer:

90 sq inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral area is the side area of the pyramid. In this case, there are 3 sides because the base is a triangle.  Since the base is an equilateral triangle, all sides are of equal dimensions.  So, the sides of the pyramid are also all of the same size, area.

We then just have to figure out the area of one of the side triangles, then multiply it by 3 to get the total lateral area of that pyramid.

We know how to calculate the area of a triangle: A = (b * h)/2

In this case, b = 5 in, h = 12 in. So,

TA = (5 * 12)/2 = 60 / 2 = 30

Each side triangle has an area of 30 sq inches.

LA = 3 * TA (since there are 3 sides)

LA = 3 * 30 = 90 sq inches

1. Find the value of x in the equation √ x + 5 = √ x + 45.<br> A. 16<br> B. 4<br> C. 1<br> D. 2
Korvikt [17]
I think you mean
sqrt x + 5 = sqrt (x+45)


if you plug in x = 4,
left side = sqrt 4 + 5 = 2+ 5 = 7

right side = sqrt (4+45) = sqrt 49 = 7

so the answer is x = 4 :)

Given: 18x-2(3x+1)=5x-16<br> Prove: x=-2
zlopas [31]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate 18 x - 2 (3 x + 1) = 5 x - 16 where x = -2:

-2×18 - 2 (1 - 2×3) = -2×5 - 16

3 (-2) = -6:

-2×18 - 2 (-6 + 1) = -2×5 - 16

1 - 6 = -5:

-2×18 - 2-5 = -2×5 - 16

18 (-2) = -36:

-36 - 2 (-5) = -2×5 - 16

-2 (-5) = 10:

10 - 36 = -2×5 - 16

5 (-2) = -10:

10 - 36 = -10 - 16

10 - 36 = -26:

-26 = -10 - 16

-10 - 16 = -26:

-26 = -26

-26 is equal to -26:

Answer:  True
