Answer:
y = 3x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Rise over run, so 3 over 1 = 3. The y-intercept is -1, so b = -1.
There are C(5,2) = 10 ways to choose 2 contraband shipments from the 5. There are C(11, 1) = 11 ways to choose a non-contraband shipment from the 11 that are not contraband. Hence there are 10*11 = 110 ways to choose 3 shipments that have 2 contraband shipments among them.
There are C(16,3) = 560 ways to choose 3 shipments from 16. The probability that 2 of those 3 will contain contraband is
110/560 = 11/56 ≈ 19.6%
_____
C(n,k) = n!/(k!(n-k)!)
The answer is 7^4 / 3^10.
