Answer:

(a)0.2908

(b)0.349

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of Students=50

Number of Male Students=20

Number of Female Students=30

Note that the selection is without replacement as each student selected is different. Also the student could be picked for any of Mathematics, Chemistry or English competitions in that order.

(a)Probability of Picking exactly one female student.

P(Exactly one Female)= P(FMM) OR P(MFM) OR P(MMF)

Where P(FMM) means a female is selected for Mathematics, Male for Chemistry and Male for English respectively.

P(FMM) OR P(MFM) OR P(MMF)

= (\frac{30}{50} X \frac{20}{49} X \frac{19}{48} ) + (\frac{20}{50} X \frac{30}{49} X \frac{19}{48} ) + (\frac{20}{50} X \frac{19}{49} X \frac{30}{48} )=0.2908

(b)Probability that at least 2 male students are selected.

P(at least 2 male students are selected) = P(FMM) OR P(MFM) OR P(MMF) OR P(MMM)

P(MMM) = \frac{20}{50} X \frac{19}{49} X \frac{18}{48}=0.0582

Recall from Part (a) that:

P(FMM) OR P(MFM) OR P(MMF) =0.2908

Therefore:

P(at least 2 male students are selected) =0.2908+0.0582 =0.349

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total = 50

Males = 20

Females = 30

a) P(exactly 1 female) = P(1 female , 2 male)

(30C1 * 20C2) / (50C3) = 30*190/19,600 = 0.2908

b) P(at least 2 males) = 1 - (P(0 males) + P(1 males))

= 1 - 30C3 * 20C0/50C3 - 30C2 * 20C1/50C3

= 1 - 4060*1/19,600 - 435*20/19,600 = 6840/19600 = 0.3489

The stock market dropped 220 points on Monday. It lost another 48 points on Tuesday, and on Wednesday it gained 96 points. What
Margaret [11]

48 points gained in those 3 days.

Subtract 220 with 48, then add 96. Last step would be subtracting 220 with the amount they have now in those 3 days to find how much points the stock market gained in those 3 days.

Subtract 220-48.It‘ll be 172.

Add 172 with 96. 172+96=268.

Subtract 268 with how much points the stock market had 3 days ago. 268-220. So it would be about 48 points gained.

a standard deck of cards with 26 red cards and 26 black cards is split into two piles, each having at least one card. In pile A
Fantom [35]

Answer: There are a total of 22 CARDS in pile B

Step-by-step explanation:

It is already certain that the total number of cards that are in pile "A" must be a multiple of 5 due to the fact that there are four times as many black cards as red cards.

If there are 26 red cards and 26 black cards altogether in the piles and each pile must have at least one card, then let's look at the possibilities:

4 black cards, 1 red card in pile A, it will then result to 22 black cards and 25 red cards in pile B. Recall that the number of red cards in pile B must be a multiple of the number of cards in pile B

We check. 25/22 .... (Doesn't agree to multiple rule)

We try another way, 8 black cards, 2 red cards in pile A which then results to 18 black cards and 24 red cards in pile B

(24/18) doesn't agree.

Again 12 black cards, 3 red cards in A, 14 black cards and 23 red cards in pile B... doesn't agree

16 black cards, 4 red cards in pile A, 10 black cards and 22 red cards in pile B... doesn't agree

20 black cards, 5 red cards in pile A, 6 black cards and 21 red cards in pile B... doesn't agree

24 black cards, 6 red cards in pile A, 2 black cards and 20 red cards in pile B... We check if the number of red cards in pile B is a multiple of the number of black cards in pile B:

20/2 = 10 (it agrees to the multiple rule).

So the number of cards in pile B = (number of red cards there + number of black cards there)

= 20 + 2

= 22 cards are in pile B altogether
