Answer:
The probability of the number of starfish dropping below 3 is 0.0463.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X represent the number of starfish in the tide pool.
X follows a Poisson distribution with mean 6.4.
The formula for Poisson distribution is as follows.
otherwise
We need to find the probability that the number of starfish in the tide pool drops below 3.
Therefore, the required probability is:
P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X=2)
P(X < 3) = 0.00166 + 0.01063 + 0.03403
P (X < 3) = 0.0463

0.01863, yes preference
Step-by-step explanation:
given that a class consists of 12 boys and 12 girls. The teacher picks five students to present their work to the rest of the class and says that the five students are being selected at random
Here selecting any 5 students from the group of total 24 students is combination because order does not matter.
Total no of ways of selecting any 5 from total 24 =
No of ways of selecting only 5 girls = No of ways of selecting random 5 girls from total 12 girls
=
a) the probability be that all five students
selected are girls=
b) Since the probability for selecting all girls is very small and near to 0, it is unusual to select all girls if done at random. Hence the teacher had a preference for girls.
