The sample space is 22 words and out of it, 14 words are known to have meanings for the student. In the problem, we use 10 C8 + 10 C9 + 10 C10 to associate at least 8 words. The complete formula is (10 C8 * (14/22)^8 * (8/22)^2 + 10 C9  (14/22)^9 * (8/22)^1 + 10 C 10 (14/22)^10 * (8/22)^)0) that is equal to 0.233

At least 8 of the words on the test are words that the student knows means that student knows 8 or 9 or 10 words.

1. Student knows 8 words (2 words are unknown): he knows the meanings of 14 words from a list of 22 words (8 words are unknown), then the number of ways to select 8 known words from 14 and 2 unknown words from 8 is

C_{14}^8\cdot C_{8}^2=\dfrac{14!}{8!(14-8)!} \cdot \dfrac{8!}{2!(8-2)!}=\dfrac{14!}{8!6!} \cdot \dfrac{8!}{2!6!} =\dfrac{8!\cdot 9\cdot 10 \cdot 11\cdot 12\cdot 13\cdot 14 }{8!\cdot 1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 5\cdot 6}\cdot \dfrac{6!\cdot 7\cdot 8}{6!\cdot 1\cdot2} =3\cdot 11\cdot 13\cdot 7\cdot 7\cdot 4=84084.

2. Student knows 9 words (1 unknown): he knows the meanings of 14 words from a list of 22 words, then the number of ways to select 9 known words from 14 and 1 from 8 is

C_{14}^9\cdot C_8^1=\dfrac{14!}{9!(14-9)!}\cdot \dfrac{8!}{1!(8-1)!} =\dfrac{14!}{9!5!}\cdot \dfrac{8!}{1!7!}  =\dfrac{9!\cdot 10 \cdot 11\cdot 12\cdot 13\cdot 14 }{9!\cdot 1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 5} \cdot \dfrac{7!\cdot 8}{7!}=11\cdot 13\cdot 14\cdot 8=16016.

3. Student knows 10 words: he knows the meanings of 14 words from a list of 22 words, then the number of ways to select 10 known words from 14 is

C_{14}^{10}=\dfrac{14!}{10!(14-10)!} =\dfrac{14!}{10!4!} =\dfrac{10!\cdot 11\cdot 12\cdot 13\cdot 14 }{10!\cdot 1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4} =11\cdot 13\cdot 7=1001.

4. He has C_{22}^{10}=\dfrac{22!}{10!(22-10)!} =\dfrac{22!}{12!10!}=\dfrac{12!\cdot 13\cdot 14\cdot 15\cdot 16\cdot 17\cdot 18\cdot 19\cdot 20\cdot 21\cdot 22}{12!\cdot 1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 5\cdot 6\cdot 7\cdot 8\cdot 9\cdot 10} =13\cdot 7\cdot 17\cdot 19\cdot 22= 646646 ways to select arbitrary 10 words from 22.

5.. The probability that at least 8 of the words on the test are words that the student knows is

Pr(\text{at least 8 words})=Pr(\text{8 words})+Pr(\text{9 words})+Pr(\text{10 words})=\dfrac{840846+16016+1001}{646646}=0.15634\approx 0.1569

Answer:

The equations are:

4H + 3P = 13.75

2H + 5P = 11.25

Hotdog = 2.50

Pretzel = 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

H = hot\ dog

P =Pretzel

For Tina:

4H + 3P = 13.75

For Doug:

2H + 5P = 11.25

Solving for the price of both items:

We have:

4H + 3P = 13.75 --- (1)

2H + 5P = 11.25 --- (2)

Multiply (2) by 2

2 * (2H + 5P = 11.25)

-------------------

4H + 10P = 22.50 --- (3)

Subtract (3) from (1)

4H + 3P = 13.75

4H + 10P = 22.50

----------------------

4H - 4H + 3P - 10P = 13.75 - 22.50

3P - 10P = 13.75 - 22.50

-7P = -8.75

Solve for P

P = \frac{-8.75}{-7}

P = 1.25

Substitute 1.25 for P in (2)

2H + 5P = 11.25

2H + 5 * 1.25 = 11.25

2H + 6.25 = 11.25

Collect Like Terms

2H = 11.25-6.25

2H = 5

Solve for H

H = \frac{5}{2}

H = 2.50
