Suppose I have an organization that has 60 people, 35 are women and 25 are men. We need to select a committee of 11 people. How

many ways can such a committee be formed

Using the combination formula, it is found that such a committee can be formed in 342,700,125,300 ways.

The order in which the people are selected is not important, hence, the <em>combination formula</em> is used to solve this question.

<h3>What is the combination formula?</h3>

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this problem, 11 people are taken from a set of 60, hence:

C_{60,11} = \frac{60!}{11!49!} = 342700125300

Suppose that the rate of return on stocks is normally dis-tributed with mean of 9% and a standard deviation of 3%. If I pick fiv
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The probability that at least two stocks will have a return of more than 12% is 0.1810.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = rate of return on stocks.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution, N (9, 3²).

Compute the probability that a stock has rate of return more than 12% as follows:

P(X\geq 12)=1-P(X

**Use the <em>z</em> table for the probability.

The probability of a stock having rate of return more than 12% is 0.1587.

Now define a random variable <em>Y</em> as the number of stocks that has rate of return more than 12%.

The sample size of stocks selected is, <em>n</em> = 5.

The random variable <em>Y </em>follows a Binomial distribution.

The probability of a Binomial distribution is:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x};\ x=0, 1, 2, ...

Compute the value of P (X ≥ 2) as follows:

P (X ≥ 2) = 1 - P (X < 2)

              = 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1)

              =1-{5\choose 0}(0.1587)^{0}(1-0.1587)^{5-0}-{5\choose 1}(0.1587)^{1}(1-0.1587)^{5-1}\\=1-0.4215-0.3975\\=0.1810

Thus, the probability that at least two stocks will have a return of more than 12% is 0.1810.
