Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected student received a C or higher is 0.5160.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = scores received in an exam.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution with parameters <em>μ</em> = 70.5 and <em>σ </em>= 12.5.

The stats instructor also graded the exams.

The grades were allotted as follows:

<u>Scores</u>    <u>Grades</u>

 > 90            A

90 - <80       B

80 - <70       C

70 - <60       D

  60 <           F

Compute the probability that a randomly selected student received a C or higher as follows:

P (C or higher) = P (X > 70)

                        =P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{70-70.5}{12.5})\\=P(Z>-0.04)\\=P(Z

*Use a <em>z-</em>table for the probability.

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected student received a C or higher is 0.5160.

In a particular lottery, 5 winning numbers are drawn from a set of 37 numbers. What is the probability of picking exactly 2 of t
anygoal [31]

Since 5 winning numbers are draw and there are exactly 2 winning numbers, the other 3 numbers chosen have to be incorrect.

The 2 numbers picked right, there are 5C2=10 different possibilities.

The other 3 numbers are just picked from the rest of the 32 numbers. Getting there are 32C3=4960 different possibilities.

For each set of 2 correct winning numbers, you could have the 4960 different losing numbers to match up to make a unique set. This meant that there are 4690*10=46900 different total possibilities.

Now the total different outcomes of how you can choose the numbers are 37C5=435897 outcomes.

Now the way to find probabilities is want/total

The want is 46900 and the total is 435897

Doing the division you get the number rounded to the nearest thousandths as   0.107 or in percent form as

10.759% chance of picking exactly 2 winning numbers.

This seems like a competition problem of some sort therefore I assume that you already know what combinations in form nCk and permutation in form nPk means.
