Problem 3 in your textbook presents three different sample spaces for a horse race with five horses running. Let the horses be d

esignated by the letters A, B, C, D, and E. A more complete characterization of an outcome of the horse race would be to designate which horse finishes in first through fifth places
(a) Consider the sample space for the set of outcomes characterized in this way. How many such outcomes are in the sample space?
b) How many outcomes are in the event that horse A finishes first?
(c) If G is the event that horse A finishes first and H is the event that horse B does not finish second, describe in words the event GnH. How many outcomes are in this event?

Answer:

a) 120

b) 24

c) 18

Step-by-step explanation:

part a

The sample space is defined by the rank of the horses.

Hence, 5 ranks would permute to = 5! = 120 outcomes

part b

Fixing the first position for horse A we are left with four horses and 4 positions, the position are permutated to 4! = 24 outcomes

part c

Fixing the first position for horse A we are left with four horses and 4 positions, and horse B can not finish second hence:

A _ B _ _  the rest can permute hence, 3! = 6 outcomes

A _ _ B _ the rest can permute hence, 3! = 6 outcomes

A _ _ _ B the rest can permute hence, 3! = 6 outcomes

Total outcomes is sum of 3 cases above = 18 outcomes

I need help on this slope interception
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

           0           -3               y intercept is -3 when x is 0

            x           y

    -1     1              0   -3      subtract 1 for x   and  3 for y

          2             3

          3             6

          4             9

x only increase by ones        y increases by threes

so the slope is   y/x   which means     3/1    up three, 1 to the right

y=mx+b

y = 3x-3

For a set of five whole numbers, the mean is 4, the mode is 1, and the median is 5. What are the five numbers? Plz help me plz
solniwko [45]
Mean is the average, mode is the number that is repeated most often and the median is the middle number.  We know there are 5 numbers so, 5 is the middle as it is the median #. The mode has to appear more than once or 5 would also be a mode.
1 1 5 _ _  
M = 1+1+5+x+y /5
4 = 1+1+5+x+y/ 5
4 = 7+x+y / 5
Average of 5 numbers is 4 therefore 4 times 5 = 20
20-7 = 13, what two numbers that are more than 5 equal 13?  Only 6 &7.
4 = 1+1+5+6+7 / 5

Determine if asking 100 people which brand of car they drive is a binomial experiment or not. Explain
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The provided statement is not a binomial experiment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Four conditions of a binomial experiment:

There should be fixed number of trials

Each trial is independent with respect to the others

The maximum possible outcomes are two

The probability of each outcome remains constant.

For example:

Binomial distribution: Asking 200 people if they ever visit to new york.

Not Binomial distribution: Asking 200 people how much they earn in a week.

Now, observe the provided information:

We need to determine that, asking 100 people which brand of car they drive is a binomial experiment or not.

Clearly it is not a binomial experiment because the maximum possible outcomes are not two.

Therefore, the provided statement is not a binomial experiment.
