Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of laptops, N = 20

Defective laptops, n = 3

School purchase 2 laptops

Case 1:

Both laptops are non defective

Probability to choose 2 laptops which are non defective

Number of non defective laptops = 20 - 3 = 17

Total number of laptops = 20

Probability, P = 17/20 = 0.85

Case 2:

One laptop is defective

Probability to chose 1 defective and one non defective laptop

P' = 3/20 x 17/19 = 0.134

Case 3:

Both laptops are defective

Choosing of 2 laptops out of 3 = 3 C 2 = 3

choosing of 2 laptops out of 20 = 20 C 2 = 190

Probability of choosing two defective laptops = 3 / 190 = 0.0158

P'' =

➷Yes.

Explain: This is because if you feel normal, you might have a little bit of willpower to do something, which will effect the statistical outcome. if you are confident, you will have a higher statistical outcome. (Example: A sport game. Feeling: Normal, Confident, Random) If you feel random, you could get a really bad score or a really high score, but you don't know because it is random.

when a plane flies with the wind, it can travel 1980 miles in 4.5 hours. when the plane flies in the opposite direction, against
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Velocity with wind = 1,980 / 4.5 = 440 mph
Velocity against wind =1,980 / 5.5 = 360 mph
Plane in still air - wind speed = 360
Plane in still air + wind speed =440
Adding both equations:
2*Plane in still air = 800
Plane in still air = 400 mph
Plane in still air + wind speed =440
Therefore, wind speed = 40 mph
