All together max and jason travel a total of 22 miles
This problem can be solved from first principles, case by case. However, it can be solved systematically using the hypergeometric distribution, based on the characteristics of the problem:
- known number of defective and non-defective items.
- no replacement
- known number of items selected.
Let
a=number of defective items selected
A=total number of defective items
b=number of non-defective items selected
B=total number of non-defective items
Then
P(a,b)=C(A,a)C(B,b)/C(A+B,a+b)
where
C(n,r)=combination of r items selected from n,
A+B=total number of items
a+b=number of items selected
Given:
A=2
B=3
a+b=3
PMF:
P(0,3)=C(2,0)C(3,3)/C(5,3)=1*1/10=1/10
P(1,2)=C(2,1)C(3,2)/C(5,3)=2*3/10=6/10
P(2,0)=C(2,2)C(3,1)/C(5,3)=1*3/10=3/10
Check: (1+6+3)/10=1 ok
note: there are only two defectives, so the possible values of x are {0,1,2}
Therefore the
PMF:
{(0, 0.1),(1, 0.6),(2, 0.3)}
Answer:
no i dont think so
Step-by-step explanation:
For #2, the proportion would be .40/.25 and x/15, then you would cross multiply to find x. and for #3 the proportion would be 15/6 and 75/x and again you would cross multiply to find x. (:
Answer:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure out which is larger, you must first find the common denominator.
Multiply the denominators to find a common denominator:
8 x 5 = 40
Then, cross-multiply to find the new numerators:
2 x 8 = 16 3 x 5 = 15
You now have:
2/5 = 16/40 and 3/8 = 15/40
So, 2/5 is larger!
