The total number of fish available in the tank is (18 + 22) = 40.  The probability for 1 goldfish to be taken out would be 18/40. Now, after drawing the first fish, the probability to get another goldfish would be 17/39. And the probability to draw 2 goldfish would be the product of both probabilities. P = (18/40)(17/39) = 51/260 So,the answer is B.

Scott is on his school's academic team. On average, it takes Scott 4 minutes, with a standard deviation of 0.25 minutes, to solv
uysha [10]

Answer:

15.87% is the chance that Scott takes more than 4.25 minutes to solve a problem at an academic bowl.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 4 minutes

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.25 minutes

We standardize the given data.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(more than 4.25 minutes to solve a problem)

P( x > 4.25) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{4.25 - 4}{0.25}) = P(z > 1)

= 1 - P(z \leq 1)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 4.25) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587 = 15.87\%

Thus,15.87% is the chance that Scott takes more than 4.25 minutes to solve a problem at an academic bowl.

If A and B are independent events with P(A) = .5 and P(B) = .2, find the following:a) P(A U B)b) P(A^c ? B^c)c) P(A^c U B^c)**No
Effectus [21]

If A and B are independent, then P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B).

a.

P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A)P(B)

P(A\cup B)=0.5+0.2-0.5\cdot0.2

\boxed{P(A\cup B)=0.6}

b. I'm guessing the ? is supposed to stand for intersection. We can use DeMorgan's law for complements here:

P(A^c\cap B^c)=P(A\cup B)^c=1-P(A\cup B)

P(A^c\cap B^c)=1-0.6

\boxed{P(A^c\cap B^c)=0.4}

c. DeMorgan's law can be used here too:

P(A^c\cup B^c)=P(A\cap B)^c=1-P(A\cap B)=1-P(A)P(B)

P(A^c\cup B^c)=1-0.5\cdot0.2

\boxed{P(A^c\cup B^c)=0.9}
