Answer:

here's what we know:

a + b = 72

a - b = 26

We can use the elimination method to solve this problem:

a + b = 72

a - b = 26

---------------

2a = 98

Divide both sides by 2:

a = 49

So we now have:

49 + b = 72

and:

49 - b = 26

Subtract 49 from both sides:

b = 23

and

-b = -23 (multiply both sides by -1) → b = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that a box of 86 circuits is sent to a manufacturing plant. Of the 86 circuits shipped, 5 are defective. The plant manag
Triss [41]

Answer:

the probability that the shipment is accepted is 0.8865

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

N = 86,  n/d = 5 and n = 2

now, without replacement

the probability that the shipment is accepted will be;

probability that the shipment is accepted = probability that non is defectives

so p( non is defective ) = ( (86-5)/86) × ((86-5-1)/(86-1))            

p( non is defective ) =  ( 81 / 86) × (80/85)

p( non is defective ) =  0.8865

Therefore, the probability that the shipment is accepted is 0.8865
