suppose we have a fuse box containing 40 fuses of which 6 are defectives. If two fuses are selected at random and removed from the box. Find the probability that both are defective, if the first fuse (a) Replaced (b) Not replaced.

a) P(1&2 =defect)= 1/800

b)  P(1&2 =defect)= 1/780

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The probability that 1st of the selected fuses is defective is   2/40=1/20 =0.05

So if we replace it by the not defective the number of defective fuses is 1 and total number is 40.

So the probability that 2-nd selected fuse is defective as well is 1/40

The probability both fuses are defective is

P(1&2 =defect)= 2/40*1/40=2/1600=1/800

b) The probability that 1st of the selected fuses is defective is   2/40=1/20 =0.05

SO residual amount of the fuses is 39. 1 of them is defective.

So the probability that 2-nd selected fuse is defective as well is 1/39

The probability both fuses are defective is

P(1&2 =defect)= 2/40*1/39=2/1560=1/780

the answer is b. 60. each interior angle in 120, so the exterior angle must be 60 in order to add up to 180
