Answer:
Incomplete question, but I gave a primer on the hypergeometric distribution, which is used to solve this question, so just the formula has to be applied to find the desired probabilities.
Step-by-step explanation:
The resistors are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:
In which:
x is the number of successes.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
In this question:
12 resistors, which means that
3 defective, which means that
4 are selected, which means that
To find an specific probability, that is, of x defectives:
Answer:
Cost of one pencil:
Cost of one eraser:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "p" the cost in dollars of one pencil and "e" the cost in dollars of one eraser.
Based on the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following system of equations:
You can use the Elimination Method to solve the system of equations.
Multiply the first equation by -3 ad the second one by 4. Then add the equations and solve for "e":
{
Substitute the value of "e" into any original equation and solve for "p":
