Answer:
0.48% probability that all four are new
Step-by-step explanation:
The homes are chosen "without replacement", which means that after a home is visited, it is not elegible to be visited again. So we use the hypergeometric distribution to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:
In which:
x is the number of sucesses.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
In this question:
Total of 10 homes, so N = 10.
We want 4 new, so x = 4.
In total, there are 4 new, so k = 4.
Sample of four homes, so n = 4.
Then
0.48% probability that all four are new
