Answer:
0.3891 = 38.91% probability that only one is a second
Step-by-step explanation:
For each globet, there are only two possible outcoes. Either they have cosmetic flaws, or they do not. The probability of a goblet having a cosmetic flaw is independent of other globets. 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.
17% of its goblets have cosmetic flaws and must be classified as "seconds."
This means that 
Among seven randomly selected goblets, how likely is it that only one is a second
This is P(X = 1) when n = 7. So
0.3891 = 38.91% probability that only one is a second
Answer:
The end result is -1/(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer to this, we first need to factor the denominator. Since it is a quadratic, we try to find number that multiply to the last term (8) and add to the middle term (9). In this case, the numbers 8 and 1 would work. This allows us to use those numbers in parenthesis along with x as a fully factored form.
x^2 + 9x + 8 = (x + 1)(x + 8)
Now that we have this factored we can take the original equation and factor a -1 out of the top.
(-1)(x + 8)/(x + 1)(x + 8)
Since there is an (x + 8) on the top and bottom, we can cancel those.
-1/(x + 1)
No they do not form a right triangle
I believe the length of the rectangle is 17 ft and the width is 14
