The total distance is \( 180 + 120 = 300 \) miles.
The total time is \( 3 + 3 = 6 \) hours.
The average speed is \( \frac{300}{6} = 50 \) miles per hour.
Solution: The total number of ways to choose 4 modules from 12 is $\binom{12}{4}$. The number of favorable outcomes (2 non-compliant and 2 compliant) is $\binom{3}{2} \cdot \binom{9}{2}$. Thus, the probability is $\frac{\binom{3}{2} \cdot \binom{9}{2}}{\binom{12}{4}} = \frac{3 \cdot 36}{495} = \frac{108}{495} = \frac{12}{55}$. \boxed{\dfrac{12}{55}}
Question: A nanotechnologist is designing a material with 5 types of quantum dots and 7 types of nanotubes. If 3 components are randomly selected, what is the probability that at least one is a quantum dot?
Solution: The probability of selecting no quantum dots (all nanotubes) is $\frac{\binom{7}{3}}{\binom{12}{3}} = \frac{35}{220}$. The complement gives the probability of at least one quantum dot: $1 - \frac{35}{220} = \frac{185}{220} = \frac{37}{44}$. \boxed{\dfrac{37}{44}}
