Complete answer:

Fulfill the requirements for a certain degree, a student can choose to take any 7 out of a list of 20 courses, with the constraint that at least 1 of the 7 courses must be a statistics course. Suppose that 5 of the 20 courses are statistics courses.

(a) How many choices are there for which 7 courses to take?

(b) Explain intuitively why the answer to (a) is not \binom{5}{1}\binom{19}{6}

Answer:

a) 71085 choices

b) See below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) First we're going to calculate in how many ways you can take 7 courses from a list of 20 without the constraint that at least 1 of the 7 courses must be a statistics course, that's simply a combination of elements without repetition so it's: \binom{20}{7}, but now we should subtract from that all the possibilities when none of the courses chose are a statistic course, that's is \binom{15}{7} because 15 courses are not statistics and 7 are the ways to arrange them. So finally, the choices for which 7 courses to take with the constraint that at least 1 of the 7 courses must be a statistics course are:

\binom{20}{7}-\binom{15}{7}=71085

b) It's important to note that the constraint at least 1 of the 7 courses must be a statistics course make the possible events dependent, we can not only fix an statistic course and choose the others willingly ( that is what \binom{5}{1}\binom{19}{6} means) because the selection of one course affect the other choices.

Assume the readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0degreesc and a standard deviation of 1.00degreesc.
Tanzania [10]

Let Z be the reading on thermometer. Z follows Standard Normal distribution with mean μ =0 and standard deviation σ=1

The probability that randomly selected thermometer reads greater than 2.07 is

P(z > 2.07) = 1 -P(z < 2.07)

Using z score table to find probability below z=2.07

P(Z < 2.07) = 0.9808

P(z > 2.07) = 1- 0.9808

P(z > 2.07) = 0.0192

The probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads greater than 2.07 is 0.0192
