Every cereal box has a gift inside, but you cannot tell from the outside what the gift is. The store manager assures you that 11

of the 54 boxes on the shelf have the secret decoder ring. The other 43 boxes on the shelf have a different gift inside. If you randomly select two boxes of cereal from the shelf to purchase, what is the probability that BOTH of them have the secret decoder ring?

Answer:

The probability that BOTH of them have the secret decoder ring is \frac{55}{1431}.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information it is clear that the total number of boxes is 54.

Total number of boxes that have the secret decoder ring = 11

Total number of boxes that have a different gift inside = 43

Total number of ways to select 2 boxes from the boxes that have the secret decoder ring is

\text{Favorable outcomes}=^{11}C_2=\frac{11!}{2!(11-2)!}=\frac{11\times 10\times 9!}{2!9!}=55

Total number of ways to select 2 boxes from the total number of boxes is

\text{Total outcomes}=^{54}C_2=\frac{52!}{2!(52-2)!}=\frac{52\times 51\times 50!}{2!50!}=1431

The probability that BOTH of them have the secret decoder ring is

P=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

P=\frac{55}{1431}

Therefore the probability that BOTH of them have the secret decoder ring is \frac{55}{1431}.

Valentin [98]

Answer

a. True

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on this survey we estimate that about 18.3\% of the college students smokes. And a 98\% confidence interval is [15.1\% ; 21.6\%].  So we know that our estimative for the smoking rate is in the confidence interval with 98\% certainty. We also know the estimative for the smoking rate in the general population is 27\%. So we can write the two possible hypothesis:

H_0 = Smoking rate is equal to 27\%.

H_1 = Smoking rate is not equal to 27\%.

We will reject the null hypothesis (H_0) if the estimate doesn't fall into the confidence interval for the college students smoking rate.

Since this condition holds we reject the null hypothesis. So with 98\% certainty we say that the smoking rate for the general population is different than the smoking rate for the college students.
