Yes, that is correct. The relative frequency of a non-defective unit is 19/20.

We can simplify the expression as follows:
x / (x + 2) / ((1/x) + (1/(x + 2)))
= x / (x + 2) / ((x + (x + 2)) / (x(x + 2))) [Taking LCM and simplifying fractions]
= x * x(x + 2) / (x + 2) * (2x + 2) [Dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal]
= x^2 / (2x + 2)
= x^2 / 2(x + 1)
Therefore, the answer is (C) x^2/2x+2.
x / (x + 2) / ((1/x) + (1/(x + 2)))
= x / (x + 2) / ((x + (x + 2)) / (x(x + 2))) [Taking LCM and simplifying fractions]
= x * x(x + 2) / (x + 2) * (2x + 2) [Dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal]
= x^2 / (2x + 2)
= x^2 / 2(x + 1)
Therefore, the answer is (C) x^2/2x+2.
