Last Answer : Answer: A) P (none is defective) = 12c2/15c2 = (12*11/2*1)/(15*14/2*1) = 66/105=22/35 P (at least one is defective) = (1 – 22/35) =13/35

Description : In 1970 a desktop calculator sold for about 100.00. Today the same type of calculator sells for as little as 25.00. What is the percent of decrease in the cost of desktop calculators?

Last Answer : In absolute terms, the percentage decrease is:percentage change = (new - old)/old 100%= (25 - 100)/100 100%= -75 %Being negative it means the change is a decrease of 75%-------- ... this as inflation, the decrease is approx 99.1% - in otherwords they are almost giving the calculator away today.

Description : There are 2 vessels. 1st vessel contains 5white and 5 blue thread roll. 2nd vessel contains 4 white and 6 black thread roll. One roll is taken at random from first vessel and put to second vessel without noticing its color ... second roll being a white colored roll? A) 11/13 B) 9/11 C) 13/11 D) 5/12

Last Answer : Answer: B) Case 1: first was a white roll Now it is put in second vessel, so total white rolls in second vessel = 4+1 = 5, and total rolls in second vessel = 10+1 = 11 So probability of white roll ... = 5/11+4/11 = 9/11 (added the cases because we want one of these cases to happen and not both)
