A university warehouse has received a shipment of 25 printers, of which 10 are laser printers and 15 are inkjet models. If 6 of

these 25 are selected at random to be checked by a particular technician, what is the probability that exactly 3 of those selected are laser printers (so that the other 3 are inkjets)

Answer:

The probability is 0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, we will consider the following approach. Given a particular outcome, and considering that each outcome is equally likely, we can calculate the probability by simply counting the number of ways we get the desired outcome and divide it by the total number of outcomes.

In this case, the event of interest is  choosing 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets. At first, we have a total of 25 printers and we will be choosing 6 printers at random. The total number of ways in which we can choose 6 elements out of 25 is \binom{25}{6}, where \binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}. We have that \binom{25}{6} = 177100

Now, we will calculate the number of ways to which we obtain the desired event. We will be choosing 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets. So the total number of ways this can happen is the multiplication of the number of ways we can choose 3 printers out of 10 (for the laser printers) times the number of ways of choosing 3 printers out of 15 (for the inkjets). So, in this case, the event can be obtained in \binom{10}{3}\cdot \binom{15}{3} = 54600

So the probability of having 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets is given by

\frac{54600}{177100} = \frac{78}{253} = 0.31

Find the measure of angle ABD if the measure of angle DBC is 42 degrees and the measure of angle ABC is 88 degrees
snow_lady [41]

    First, realize that angle ABC is the sum of the two other angles. Hence, form an equation in which you subtract the measure of one of the angles from angle ABC to get the measure of the other angle -- the one you are solving for.

20 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST!!! You are given an n×n board, where n is an even integer and 2≤n≤30. For how many such boards is it po
Bess [88]

Answer:

  5

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of cells in a tile is 4, so the board dimension cannot be odd, but must be a multiple of 2 in order to have the number of cells divisible by 4.

If the tiles are colored in an alternating pattern, tiles must have 3 of one color and 1 of the alternate color. Hence the total number of tiles used to cover a board must be even (so the numbers of each color match). Then the board dimension must be divisible by 4.

In the given range, there are 5 such boards:

  4×4, 8×8, 12×12, 16×16, and 20×20
