Check the tree diagram, of all the possible scenarios and the probabilities.

All the possible scenarios are: 

1st.non defective,  2nd.non defective
1st.non defective,  2nd. defective
1st. defective,  2nd. non defective
1st. defective,  2nd. defective

consider the case 1st.non defective,  2nd.non defective

the probability that the first one is non defective is 8/10, since 8 out of 10 are non defective.

In this scenario, the second one is non defective as well. The probability for this to happen is 7/9, since now we have 7 non defective pots, and 9 in total.

This means that the probability of the first to be non defective, and the second non-defective is (8/10) * (7/9)=0.622

similarly we calculate the other cases, as shown in the picture.

P(at least one is defective)=
P(1st.non defective,  2nd. defective)+P(1st. defective,  2nd. non defective)+P(1st. defective,  2nd. defective)=
0.178+0.178+0.022=0.378


Answer: 0.378

Raphael graphed the system of equations shown. y = – 3 y = x – 0.8 What is the best approximation for the solution to this syste
Ber [7]
Given ---›

y = -3

&

y = x - 0.8

So,
=> x = y + 0.8

=> x = -3 + 0.8

=> x = -2.2

Therefore, the best approximation for the solution to this system of equations is = (–2.2, –3)

Your company has just taken out a 1-year installment loan for $72,500 at a nominal rate of 20.0% but with equal end-of-month pay
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

100% of the 2nd monthly payment go toward the repayment of principal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The loan taken is the Principal which is mentioned as $72,500 with interest at a nominal rate of 20%. Firstly, it is important to understand that nominal rate means <em>non-compounding </em>rate. Simply put will be a "<em>one-time charged" </em>rate on the loan. Since this is given as 20% of the Principal. It is calculated thus: \frac{20}{100} × \frac{72,500}{1}= $14,500. So the interest on the loan is $14,500. Added to the Principal the total amount to be paid back by the company becomes: $72,500 + $14,500 = $87,000. To pay back this amount at equal end-of-month installments in 1 year (12 months), we divide the total amount by 12. i.e \frac{87000}{12} = $7250. This means, the monthly payment will be $7,250. Since the monthly payment pays only 10% of the initial principal $72,500. By the second month only 20% of the Principal would have been paid. So all of the monthly payment will go towards repaying the principal

Of the total number of people on a cruise ship, 1/4 or child passengers. 2/5 of the remaining people were crew. There were 1320
Nuetrik [128]
<h2>462</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

       Total number of people on the cruise ship was 1320.

\frac{1}{4}^{th} of the people were child passengers. Number of child passengers = \dfrac{1}{4}\times (\text{Total number of people})=\dfrac{1}{4}\times 1320=330

\frac{2}{5}^{th} of the people were crew. Number of people that were crew = \dfrac{2}{5}\times (\text{Total number of people})=\dfrac{2}{5}\times 1320=528

       Remaining people in the ship constitute the adult passengers.

       Number of adult passengers = (\textbf{Total number of people})-(\textbf{Total number of children})-(\textbf{Total number of crew})=1320-330-528=\textbf{462}

∴ Number of adult passengers = 462
