Suppose that in a population of 1000 there are 300 defective items and 700 items that are not defective. if you are selecting tw

o items at random from this population, what is the probability they will both be defective?

This is a combinations problem.

The total number of possible 2-item combinations is (1000 choose 2)

The number of 2-defective combinations is (300 choose 2)

The probability = \frac{300 C 2}{1000 C 2} = 0.09

Drainage tubing comes in large rolls. At your hardware store, you cut tubing to the lengths the customers want. You also provide
MrRa [10]

Answer: \frac{1}{36}\pi L

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the volume of a cylinder is:

V=\pi r^2h

Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height.

Make the conversion from inches to feet. Since 1\ ft=12\ in,you get:

(2\ in)(\frac{1\ ft}{12\ in})=\frac{1}{6}\ ft

So in this case you  can identify that:

r=\frac{1}{6}\\\\h=L

Then, substituting them into the formula and simplifying you get:

V=\pi(\frac{1}{6})^2L\\\\V=\frac{1}{36}\pi L

Therefore, the expression for the volume of L feet of drainage tubing, in cubic feet is:

\frac{1}{36}\pi L

A state becomes good if its people are good justify this statement​
nadezda [96]

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the statement is true "A state becomes good if its people are good". Government is one of the most important body for the good future of any country. The difference between a good and bad country occurs due to its government and governance. Similarly, citizens plays a vital role for the difference between good and bad state. The literacy rate of a state should be high for the sake of becoming good state.  A state becomes good if its people are good, as they are representative of the state.

For a specific species of fish in a pond, a wildlife biologist wants to build a regression equation to predict the weight of a f
sashaice [31]

Answer: First of all, we will add the options.

A. Yes, because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

B. Yes, because the regression equation is based on a random sample.

C. Yes, because the association between length and weight is positive.

D. No, because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

E. No, because there may not be any 3-inch fish of this species in the pond.

The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation: It would not be appropriate to use the model to predict the weight of species that is 3 inches long because 3 inches falls above the maximum value of lengths in the sample.

As we can see from the question, the model only accounts for species that are within the range of 0.75 to 1.35 inches in length, and species smaller or larger than that length have not been taken into consideration. Therefore the model can not be used to predict the weights of fishes not with the range accounted for.

A. Find x. The figure is not drawn to scale.
blondinia [14]
Based on the given figure above, we can conclude that the triangle is an isosceles triangle. By definition, an isosceles triangle is a triangle that has at least two equal sides. Since this is an isosceles triangle, 8x-10 =6x. Now we can solve for x. So,
8x-10 =6x
8x-6x = 10
2x =10
x= 5.
Therefore, the value of x in the figure is 5. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.

The number of "destination weddings" has skyrocketed in recent years. For example, many couples are opting to have their wedding
Andru [333]

Answer:

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that wedding cost is less than $30000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Values (x) ∑(Xi-X)^2

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

29.1                    0.1702

28.5                  1.0252

28.8                  0.5077

29.4                   0.0127

29.8                  0.0827

29.8                  0.0827

30.1                   0.3452

30.6                   1.1827

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

236.1                 3.4088

Mean = 236.1 / 8 = 29.51

S_{x}=\sqrt{3.4088/(8-1)}=0.6978

Statement of the null hypothesis:

H0: u ≥ 30 the mean wedding cost is not less than $30,000

H1: u < 30 the mean wedding cost is less than $30,000

Test Statistic:

t=\frac{X-u}{S/\sqrt{n}}=\frac{29.51-30}{0.6978/\sqrt{8}}= \frac{-0.49}{0.2467}=-1.9861

Test criteria:

SIgnificance level = 0.05

Degrees of freedom = df = n - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7

Reject null hypothesis (H0) if

t

Finding in the t distribution table α=0.05 with df=7, we have

t_{0.05,7}=2.365

t>-t_{0.05,7} = -1.9861 > -2.365

Result: Fail to reject null hypothesis

Conclusion: Do no reject the null hypothesis

u ≥ 30 the mean wedding cost is not less than $30,000

There is no sufficient evidence to support the claim that wedding cost is less than $30000.

Hope this helps!
