A shipment of 20 similar laptop computers to a retail outlet contains 3 that are defective. If a school makes a random purchase of 2 of these computers, find the probability mass function for the number of defectives.

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'' =

good job you smart son of a gun you are smarter that einstein. 7

step-by-step explanation:

to find the amount of gift bags to use all the supplies, find the gcf or greatest common factor. this is the largest number which multiplies evenly into each term.

48 has factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12. 16, 24, 48

80 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80

64 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 8, 16, 32, 64

the highest number factor they all share in common is 8. this means there will be 8 bags with 6 pencils, 10 markers, and 8 stickers in each bag.
