Answer:

(a) 350

(b) 175

(c) 21

(d) 196

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of females = 7

Number of males = 5

Total ways of selecting r items from n items is

^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

(a)

Total ways of selecting 3 females and 2 males.

\text{Total ways}=^7C_3\times ^5C_2

\text{Total ways}=\dfrac{7!}{3!(7-3)!}\times \dfrac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}

\text{Total ways}=35\times 10

\text{Total ways}=350

(b)

Total ways of selecting 4 females and 1 male.

\text{Total ways}=^7C_4\times ^5C_1

\text{Total ways}=32\times 5

\text{Total ways}=175

(c)

Total ways of selecting 5 females.

\text{Total ways}=^7C_5\times ^5C_0

\text{Total ways}=21\times 1

\text{Total ways}=21

(d)

Total ways of selecting at least 4 females.

Total ways = 4 females + 5 females

\text{Total ways}=175+21

\text{Total ways}=196

zysi [14]

Answer:  a) 0.0792   b) 0.264

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Event D = Families own a dog .

Event C = families own a cat .

Given : Probability that families own a dog : P(D)=0.36

Probability that families own a dog also own a cat : P(C|D)=0.22

Probability that families own a cat : P(C)= 0.30

a) Formula to find conditional probability :

P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}\\\\\Rightarrow P(A\cap B)=P(B|A)\times P(A)   (1)

Similarly ,

P(C\cap D)=P(C|D)\times P(D)\\\\=0.22\times0.36=0.0792

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected family owns both a dog and a cat : 0.0792

b) Again, using (2)

P(D|C)=\dfrac{P(C\cap D)}{P(C)}\\\\=\dfrac{0.0792}{0.30}=0.264

Hence, the conditional probability that a randomly selected family owns a dog given that it owns a cat = 0.264
