In general, the most probable distribution is in the ratio of the respective types, namely
Number of blue tails
=12*(53/(53+40))
=6.84
To check between 6 or 7, we use the hypergeometric distribution:

P(B=6)
=C(40,6)C(53,6)/(C(93,12)
=3838380*22957480/416579843773639
=0.211530
P(B=7)
=C(40,5)C(53,7)/(C(93,12)
=658008*154143080/416579843773639
=65563917120/269282381237
=0.243476

Hence the most probable number of blue tail fishes is 7


Note: it would be prudent to calculate P(B=8)=0.194443 to show that P(B=7) is indeed the highest value.

Svetlanka [38]
Alright, let's interpret it, first.

The question is asking us to first find two percent of 23,000, then right an equation.

Alright, first, let's find two percent of 23,000. To find that we must do 0.02*23,000

I got 460

So we know that Mastertown's population is increasing by 460 people per year. All we have to do now is plug that into the equation.

Population (y)= 460* amount of years (x)

So our final equation is y = 460x

Hope this helped! Ask any questions about it!

Delvig [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is 7 : 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 14 girls and 2 boys taking karate lessons.

Total number of students taking the karate class is 16.

The ratio that compares the number of girls taking karate lessons to the total number of students taking karate lessons is given by 14 : 16 = 7 : 8.

This can be interpreted as for every 8 students in the karate lesson, 7 of them are girls.
