The Bernsteins, Hendersons, and Smiths each have five children. If the 15 children of these three families camp out in five diff

erent tents, where each tent holds three children, and the 15 children are randomly assigned to the five tents, what is the probability that every family has at least two of its children in the same tent?

Answer:

Probability=1-\frac{(5!)^{3} }{15!}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve this question with the help of complementary method. Observe the statement "Probability that every family has at least two of its children in the same tent". The complementary of this statement will be every family does not have atleast two of its children in the same tent ie. Each child of a family is not in the same tent as one from the same family.

P(A)=1-P(A)^{c}

Therefore, we can get P(A) if we just take out the value of P(A)^{c}

Probability=\frac{TotalNo.OfFavourableOutcomes}{TotalNo.ofOutcomes}

Imagine that we have 15 locations to fill and 15 people for it, so the total no. of cases= 15!

Bernstein's children can be arranged in 5 different tents in 5! ways.

Similarly Henderson's and Smith's children can be arranged in 5 different tents in 5! ways only.

Therefore, P(A)^{c}= \frac{(5!)^{3} }{15!}

P(A)=1- \frac{(5!)^{3} }{15!}

jek_recluse [69]
Hello! So Angie reads 60 pages in 2 hours, without the TV on. 60/2 is 30. She reads 30 pages an hour without the TV on, and 24 pages with the TV off. To find the percent of her reading rate with the TV on instead of off, we can just divide both of the reading rates. 24/30 is 0.8. Multiply that by 100 and you get 80% in percent form. There. Angie's reading rate with the TV on is 80% of her reading rate with the TV off. The answer is B: 80%.

A random sample of 18 graduates of a certain secretarial school typed an average of 80.6 words per minute with a standard deviat
insens350 [35]

Answer: ( 77.27 , 83.93)

Therefore at 95% confidence/prediction interval is

= ( 77.27 , 83.93)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = 80.6 words per minute

Standard deviation r = 7.2

Number of samples n = 18

Confidence interval = 95%

z(at 95% confidence) = 1.96

Substituting the values we have;

80.6+/-1.96(7.2/√18)

80.6+/-1.96(1.697056274847)

80.6 +/- 3.33

= ( 77.27 , 83.93)

Therefore at 95% confidence/prediction interval is

= ( 77.27 , 83.93)
