200 students in a high school senior class are surveyed about what majors they intend to declare in college. Of the 200 students

, 80 plan to major in mathematics, 100 plan to major in computer science, and 30 plan to pursue a double major in mathematics and computer science. Using this information, answer each of the following questions. Let M be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in mathematics and C be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in computer science. What is P(M), left parenthesis, M, right parenthesis, the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?

<u>2. What is P(M), the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?</u>

  • P(M) = number of students who plan to major in mathematics / number of students

  • P(M) = 80 / 200 = 0.4

15. Suppose a box of 30 light bulbs contains 4 defective ones. If 5 bulbs are to be removed out of the box.
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

1) Probability that all five are good = 0.46

2) P(at most 2 defective) = 0.99

3) Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.54

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of bulbs = 30

Number of defective bulbs = 4

Number of good bulbs = 30 - 4 = 26

Number of ways of selecting 5 bulbs from 30 bulbs = 30C5 = \frac{30 !}{(30-5)!5!} \\

30C5 = 142506 ways

Number of ways of selecting 5 good bulbs  from 26 bulbs = 26C5 = \frac{26 !}{(26-5)!5!} \\

26C5 = 65780 ways

Probability that all five are good = 65780/142506

Probability that all five are good = 0.46

2) probability that at most two bulbs are defective = Pr(no defective) + Pr(1 defective) + Pr(2 defective)

Pr(no defective) has been calculated above = 0.46

Pr(1 defective) = \frac{26C4  * 4C1}{30C5}

Pr(1 defective) = (14950*4)/142506

Pr(1 defective) =0.42

Pr(2 defective) =  \frac{26C3  * 4C2}{30C5}

Pr(2 defective) = (2600 *6)/142506

Pr(2 defective) = 0.11

P(at most 2 defective) = 0.46 + 0.42 + 0.11

P(at most 2 defective) = 0.99

3) Probability that at least one bulb is defective = Pr(1 defective) +  Pr(2 defective) +  Pr(3 defective) +  Pr(4 defective)

Pr(1 defective) =0.42

Pr(2 defective) = 0.11

Pr(3 defective) =  \frac{26C2  * 4C3}{30C5}

Pr(3 defective) = 0.009

Pr(4 defective) =  \frac{26C1  * 4C4}{30C5}

Pr(4 defective) = 0.00018

Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.42 + 0.11 + 0.009 + 0.00018

Pr(at least 1 defective) = 0.54

Graph the functions and identify the domain and range. y=-1.5x^2
erma4kov [3.2K]
You can give random values such as <span> (1,2.5) (2,9) (-1,2.5) (-2,9) and it is a parabola. You'll see that the range is (-infinte, 0] and the domain is (-infinit, infinite). </span>I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
