The probability of picking 2 white balls and 1 black ball is 0.154

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Number of balls, n = 20
  • White = 12
  • Black = 8

When each ball is selected, the total number of ball decreases by 1 and the type of ball also decreases.

So, the probability is represented as:

P(2 white and 1 black) = White/n * White - 1/n - 1 * Black//n - 2

Substitute known values

P(2 white and 1 black) = 12/20 * 11/19 * 8//18

Evaluate

P(2 white and 1 black) = 0.154

Hence, the probability of picking 2 white balls and 1 black ball is 0.154

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Value of k is \displaystyle\frac{3}{8}      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

f(x) = kx^2, 0\leq x \leq 2\\~~~~~~~= 0, \text{ otherwise}

where x is the time elapses between the end of the hour and the end of the lecture.

We have to find the values of k.

Since, f(x) is the pdf, then,

\displaystyle\int^\infty_{-\infty} f(x) = 1\\\\\displaystyle\int^2_{0} f(x) = 1\\\\\displaystyle\int^2_{0} kx^2 = 1\\\\k\bigg[\frac{x^3}{3}\bigg]^2_0 = 1\\\\k\times \frac{8}{3} = 1\\\\k = \frac{3}{8}

Hence, value of k is \displaystyle\frac{3}{8}
