Answer:

a. 1365 ways

b. Probability = 0.4096

c. Probability = 0.5904

Explanation:

Given

PCs = 15

Purchase = 3

Solving (a): Ways to select 4 computers out of 15, we make use of Combination formula as follows;

$^nC_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

Where $n = 15\ and\ r = 4$

$^{15}C_4 = \frac{15!}{(15-4)!4!}$

$^{15}C_4 = \frac{15!}{11!4!}$

$^{15}C_4 = \frac{15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11!}{11! * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1}$

$^{15}C_4 = \frac{15 * 14 * 13 * 12}{4 * 3 * 2 * 1}$

$^{15}C_4 = \frac{32760}{24}$

$^{15}C_4 = 1365$

Hence, there are 1365 ways 

Solving (b): The probability that exactly 1 will be defective (from the selected 4)

First, we calculate the probability of a PC being defective (p) and probability of a PC not being defective (q)

From the given parameters; 3 out of 15 is detective;

So;

$p = 3/15$

$p = 0.2$

$q = 1 - p$

$q = 1 - 0.2$

$q = 0.8$

Solving further using binomial;

$(p + q)^n = p^n + ^nC_1p^{n-1}q + ^nC_2p^{n-2}q^2 + .....+q^n$

Where n = 4

For the probability that exactly 1 out of 4 will be defective, we make use of

$Probability = ^nC_3pq^3$

Substitute 4 for n, 0.2 for p and 0.8 for q

$Probability = ^4C_3 * 0.2 * 0.8^3$

$Probability = \frac{4!}{3!1!} * 0.2 * 0.8^3$

$Probability = 4 * 0.2 * 0.8^3$

$Probability = 0.4096$

Solving (c): Probability that at least one is defective;

In probability, opposite probability sums to 1;

Hence;

Probability that at least one is defective + Probability that at none is defective = 1

Probability that none is defective is calculated as thus;

$Probability = q^n$

Substitute 4 for n and 0.8 for q

$Probability = 0.8^4$

$Probability = 0.4096$

Substitute 0.4096 for Probability that at none is defective

Probability that at least one is defective + 0.4096= 1

Probability = 1 - 0.4096

Probability = 0.5904

Develop a command sequence would you use to alter the amount of space between the text in a text box and the text box border?.

yanalaym [24]

The use of the Line and Paragraph Spacing command can help one to alter the amount of space between the text in a text box and the text box border.

<h3>Which command changes line spacing?</h3>

When one click on Home tab, one should click the Line and Paragraph Spacing command, and when one has select the line spacing that one needs, the selected line spacing will alter in the document.

Note that the use of the Line and Paragraph Spacing command can help one to alter the amount of space between the text in a text box and the text box border.

The user will input a three digit number

zlopas [31]

import java.util.Scanner;

public class U1_L5_Activity_One {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("Please enter a two digit number: ");

int x = scan.nextInt();

System.out.println("Here are the digits:");

System.out.println(x/100);

System.out.println((x/10)%10); //Just divide the result by 10 and find the remainder

System.out.println(x%10);

}

//Or, you can do that way:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class U1_L5_Activity_One {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print("Please enter a two digit number: ");

String[] x = scan.nextLine().split(""); //We need it to be a string array, to split the values after "", that is, after each symbol(number)

System.out.println("Here are the digits:");

for(int i = 0; i<x.length; i++) {

System.out.println(Integer.parseInt(x[i])); //Converting the string into int, as you want
