A shipment of 40 fancy calculators contains 3 defective units. What is the probability if a college bookstore buys 20 calculator
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

38.46%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no names or marking that can make the calculator look different, so the order is not important. Then we should use a combination to solve this problem.

There are 40 calculators in one shipment, 37 of them good items and 3 of them are defect items. We need to choose 19 good calculators and 1 defect calculator. The number of ways to do that will be:

\frac{37}{19}* \frac{3}{1}= 37!\frac{37!}{19!(37-19!)} * \frac{3!}{1!(3-1)!}= 53017895700

The number of possible ways to choose 20 calculators out of 40 calculators will be:

\frac{40}{20}= \frac{40!}{20!(40-20!)}=137846528820

The chance will be: 53017895700/ 137846528820 = 0.3846= 38.46%

mezya [45]

Answer:

P = 17t + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2L + 2w

L = 1.5t + 5

w = 7t - 1.5

P = 2*(1.5t  + 5) + 2*(7t - 1.5)

P = 3t + 10 + 14t - 3

P = 17t + 7
