In remodeling a kitchen, a builder decides to place a splash-guard behind the sink consisting of eight 6-inch-square ceramic til

es decorated with different botanical herbs. The tiles will be installed in a custom-made wooden panel. The tile supplier has 12 different herb designs to choose from, and the builder selects 8 of these 12 at random. Suppose the order in which the tiles are arranged on the splash-guard does not matter. Fill in the blanks. (Give your answers to four decimal places.)
Two of the 12 herb tiles contain a blue tint that matches the kitchen color scheme. The probability that these 2 tiles will be included in the splash-guard is __.

The family actually grows 5 of the 12 herbs in a backyard garden. The probability that all 5 of these will be included on the splash-guard is _

Answer:

(a) 0.4242

(b) 0.0707

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ways of selecting 8 herbs from 12 is

\binom{12}{8}=495

(a) If 2 herbs are selected, then there are 8 - 2 = 6 herbs to be selected from 12 - 8 = 10. The number of ways of the selection is then

\binom{10}{6}= 210

Note that this is the number of ways that both are included. We would have multiplied by 2! if any of them were to be included.

The probability = \dfrac{210}{495}=0.4242

(b) If 5 herbs are selected, then there are 8 - 5 = 3 herbs to be selected from 12 - 5 = 7. The number of ways of the selection is then

\binom{7}{3}= 35

This is the number of ways that both are included. We would have multiplied by 5! if any of them were to be included. In that case, our probability will exceed 1; this implies that certainly, at least, one of them is included.

The probability = \dfrac{35}{495}=0.0707

All you have to do is add 24 to both sides and you will get y.  You add 24 so that it will cancel from one side but be added to the other.  


The answer is y=17.


Hope this helps!
