A candy dish contains 30 jelly beans and 20 gumdrops. Ten candies are picked at random. What is the probability that 5 of the 10

are gumdrops? The two groups are jelly beans and gumdrops. Since the probability question asks for the probability of picking gumdrops, the group of interest (first group A in the formula) is gumdrops. The size of the group of interest (first group) is 30. The size of the second group is 20. The size of the sample is 10 (jelly beans or gumdrops). Let X = the number of gumdrops in the sample of 10. X takes on the values x = 0, 1, 2, ..., 10. What is the answer to the question "What is the probability of drawing 5 gumdrops in 10 picks from the dish?

Answer:

The probability of drawing 5 gumdrops in 10 picks from the dish is 0.215

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypergeometric distribution is a discrete probability distribution that describes the probability of successes in draws with each draw being a success or failure, without replacement from a finite population size that contains exactly the same objects. The general formula is given as:

h(x) =\frac{({A}C_{x})({N-A}C_{n-x})}{^{N}C_{n}  }

where:

^{n}C_{r}=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

h(x)  is the probability of x successes,

n is the number of attempts,

A is the number of successes  

N is the number of elements

For this problem:

A = 30, x = 5, N = 50, n = 10

The probability of drawing 5 gumdrops in 10 picks from the dish P(x=5) is

P(x=5)=\frac{({30}C_{5})({50-30}C_{10-5})}{^{50}C_{10}  }\\P(x=5)=\frac{({30}C_{5})({20}C_{5})}{^{50}C_{10}  }

P(x=5)=\frac{\frac{30!}{(30-5)!5!}*\frac{20!}{(20-5)!5!}  }{\frac{50!}{(50-10)!10!} }\\P(x=5)=\frac{\frac{30!}{25!5!}*\frac{20!}{15!5!}  }{\frac{50!}{40!10!} }

P(x=5)=\frac{142506*15504}{1.207*10^{10} }=0.215

P(x=5) = 0.215

The probability of drawing 5 gumdrops in 10 picks from the dish is 0.215

There are 3 blue marbles, 6 red marbles, 2 green marbles and 1 black marble in a bag. Suppose you select one marble at random. F
laila [671]

Answer:

For blue its 3/12 = 1/4 = 25%

For red it's 6/12= 1/2= 50%

For green 2/12= 1/6= 17%

For black 1/12= 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is add up all the marbles 3 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 12 and then you put the number of marbles for each color and divide it by 12 which gives you those percentages. I don't know if you wanted the answers in percentages or fractions so I gave you both . Good luck!!

Given: x - 6.3333 ≤ 1.5 .
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

x or (-\infty, 47/6]

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 6.3333 = 6 1/3 = 19/3 = 38/6.

Also, note that 1.5 = 1 1/2 = 3/2 = 9/6.

So, the inequality is really equal to x-38/6.

We can then add 38/6 to both sides to get x.

So, the solution is x, or in interval notation, (-\infty, 47/6]

Here is a system of equations:
laila [671]

Answer:

y = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

(-7x+3y) - (-7x +10y) =-65 -(-135)

-7x + 3y + 7x -10y = 70

-7y = 70

y = -10

A line has a slope of -5 and passes through the point (2, 2). What is the equation for this line?
koban [17]
To determine the equation of the line, we use the point slope form equation for this problem. It is expressed as:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

We substitute the given values in the problem to the equation.

y - 2 = -5(x - 2)
y = -5x +10+2
y = -5x +12
