A Mathematics paper consists of 12 questions of which not more than ten are to be answered. Given that the number of candidates

who answer ten questions is equal to the number of candidates who answer nine questions only. Find the probability that a candidate chosen at random from among these two sets of candidates will have selected questions 1, 2 and 3 if all the questions have the same chance of being selected.​

The probability that a candidate chosen at random from among these two sets of candidates will have selected questions 1, 2 and 3 is 0.4179.

<h3>How to calculate probability?</h3>

The probability that a candidate chosen at random from among these two sets of candidates will have selected questions 1, 2 and 3 will ba calculated thus:

= [(9C6 /12C9) × 1/2] + [(9C7)/12C10) × 1/2]

= 42/220 + 18/66

= 0.1909 + 0.2727

= 0.4179

In conclusion, the probability is 0.4179.

The percentage of consignors who receive a check for more than $370 is:

= 16%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of consignor check, μ = $480

Standard deviation, σ = $110

Value of check received, x > $370

Solution: find the z-score to determine the percentage of consignors who receive a check for more than $370:

z = (x-μ)/σ

z= ($370 - $480)/$110

z = -$110/$110

z = -1.00

Percentage of consignors who receive a check for more than $370

= 0.15866

= 0.16

= 16%
