Explanation:
<em>What is an eighth of 32?
</em>
An eighth of 32 means 32 is divided into eight equal parts.
Let's use a fact family for this problem:
8 * ? = 32
32 / 8 = ?
-------------
8 * 4 = 32
32 / 8 = 4
An eighth of 32 is 4.
Five eights of 32:
Five eighths of 32 is five times four which is 20
20 is 5 eighths of 32
5/8 * 32 = 20
32 * 5 / 8 = 20
The answer is 32.
D=event that chip selected is defective
d=event that chip selected is NOT defective
Four possible scenarios for the first two selections:
P(DDD)=15/100*14/99*13/98=13/4620
P(DdD)=15/100*85/99*14/98=17/924
P(dDD)=85/100*15/99*14/99=17/924
P(ddD)=85/100*84/99*15/98=17/154
Probability of third selection being defective is the sum of all cases,
P(XXD)=P(DDD)+P(DdD)+P(dDD)+P(ddD)
=3/20
First distribute the 2, then add 7 to that side, so you have 2g+17=-4g+g , subtract 2g and it should be easy to find from there lol
