1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]3 years ago

Answer:

a) 1/22

b) 3/44

c) 3/11.

Step-by-step explanation:

a).

Prob(picking a blue first) = 5/12.

Prob(picking a yellow next) = 4/11    ( as it is without replacement)

Prob(purple next) = 3/10

Probability of picking these in this order = 5/12 * 4/11 * 3/10

= 1/22 (answer).

Note the probabilities are multiplied because the 3 events are independent.

b)

Prob(all the same colour) = Prob(All are blue) + Prob(all are yellow) + Prob ( All are purple)

Prob(All are blue) = 5/12 * 4/11 * 3/10 =  1/22

Prob(all are yellow) = 4/12 * 3/11 * 2/10 = 1/55

Prob(all purple) = 3/12 * 2/11 * 1 /10 = 1/220

So probability there are all the same colour = the sum of the above

= 3/44 (answer).

c)  I take this to mean that all 3 are a different colour.

This will be the number of combinations of blue, yellow and purple possible which is 3! = 6.

So the answer is 6 * 1/22 = 3/11.

Suppose that past history shows that 60% of college students prefer brand c cola. a sample of 5 students is to be selected. base
creativ13 [48]
The probability is 0.337.

The probability that more than 3 prefer brand c is the same as finding the probability that 4 or 5 prefer brand c.  Using a binomial distribution,

_5C_4(0.6)^4(0.4)^{5-4}+_5C_5(0.6)^5(0.4)^{5-5}
\\
\\=\frac{5!}{4!1!}(0.6)^4(0.4)^1+\frac{5!}{5!0!}(0.6)^5(0.4)^0
\\
\\=5(0.6)^4(0.4)+1(0.6)^5(1)=0.33696\approx0.337

Choose all items where the equation matches the given table
sdas [7]

Answer:

1st, 3rd, 4th

Step-by-step explanation:

1st one: 43 x

multiply x by 43

7 x 43 = 301

7 x 43 = 258

10 x 43 = 430

3 x 43 = 129

4 x 43 = 172

(correct)

2nd one: 12x

multiply x by 12

2 x 12= 32

we know that 2 x 12 is 2 so this equation does not work

(incorrect)

3rd one: 202x

multiply x by 202

6 x 202 = 1212

4 x 202 = 808

10 x 202 = 2020

3 x 202 = 606

8 x 202 = 1616

(correct)

4th one: 13x

multiply x by 3

9 x 13 = 117

2 x 13 = 26

7 x 13 = 91

3 x 13 = 36

10 x 13 = 130

(correct)
