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

-7000 men's and women's in the three french cities.

what kind of decision one should make after reading this article?

reading the above article I came to acknowledge that women are only benefited as they don't metabolizes coffee in same way as men.so men should take more care and control over their coffee consumption than women.

A7-ft ladder is placed against a wall with its base 3 ft from the wall. How high above the ground is the top of the ladder? Roun
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

6.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

use pythagorean theorem

a² + b² = c²

a² + 3² = 7²

a² + 9 = 49

Subtract 9 from both side

a² = 40

Take the square root of both sides

a = 6.324555320336759

Rounded

a = 6.3
