(Sec. 2.3) A restaurant having a grand opening is allowing visitors to try 6 different free samples from a selection. Options fo

r sampling include 7 poultry items, 10 red meat items and 12 vegetarian items. (a) If a visitor only wants to taste 3 of the poultry items, and if the order of tasting is important, how many ways are there to do this? (b) Not worrying about the order from here on, suppose a visitor wants to try all 6 allotted samples. How many choices of 6 do they have? (c) If a visitor wants to sample 2 of each type of food (poultry, red meat and vegetarian), how many ways are there to do this? (d) If the 6 samples are randomly selected, what is the probability that two of each type of food are chosen? (e) If the 6 samples are randomly chosen, what is the probability that the majority of the choices are meat (poultry or red meat)?

Answer:A)35choices

B)475,020choices

C)132choices

D)0.000278

E)0.000166

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 7poultry items represented by 7p

10 red meat items=10R

12 vegetarian items=12V

@

A)there are 7combination 3ways of selecting 3out of 7 poultry items

From the formula nCr=n!/(n-r)!r!

7C3=7!/(7-3)!3!=7!/4!×3!=35choices

b)total items available=7p+10R+12V(denotation explained above)=29items

Choosing 6items implies

29C6=29!/(29-6)!×6!

29!/23!×6!=475,020 ways

C)7C2+10C2+12C2

7!/5!2!+10!/8!2!+12!/10!2!

21+45+66=132 choices

D) probability (choosing 2items from each class)=

7C2+10C2+12C2/29C6

Where 29C6 represent total probable.

21+45+66/29!/23!6!

=132/475020=0.000278choices

E)for meats to be in the majority on a 6choices selection impliee that vegetarian items will be

0,1 or2i.e combination of vegetarian and meat will be(0,6)or(1,5)or(2,4) .

Prob(0veg)+prob(1veg item) or prob(2veg items)

12C0+12C1+12C2/29C6

=1+12+66/475,020

=0.000166

One of the earliest applications of the Poisson distribution was in analyzing incoming calls to a telephone switchboard. Analyst
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

(a) P (X = 0) = 0.0498.

(b) P (X > 5) = 0.084.

(c) P (X = 3) = 0.09.

(d) P (X ≤ 1) = 0.5578

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of telephone calls.

The average number of calls per minute is, <em>λ</em> = 3.0.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Poisson distribution with parameter <em>λ</em> = 3.0.

The probability mass function of a Poisson distribution is:

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^{x}}{x!};\ x=0,1,2,3...

(a)

Compute the probability of <em>X</em> = 0 as follows:

P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-3}3^{0}}{0!}=\frac{0.0498\times1}{1}=0.0498

Thus, the  probability that there will be no calls during a one-minute interval is 0.0498.

(b)

If the operator is unable to handle the calls in any given minute, then this implies that the operator receives more than 5 calls in a minute.

Compute the probability of <em>X</em> > 5  as follows:

P (X > 5) = 1 - P (X ≤ 5)

              =1-\sum\limits^{5}_{x=0} { \frac{e^{-3}3^{x}}{x!}} \,\\=1-(0.0498+0.1494+0.2240+0.2240+0.1680+0.1008)\\=1-0.9160\\=0.084

Thus, the probability that the operator will be unable to handle the calls in any one-minute period is 0.084.

(c)

The average number of calls in two minutes is, 2 × 3 = 6.

Compute the value of <em>X</em> = 3 as follows:

<em> </em>P(X=3)=\frac{e^{-6}6^{3}}{3!}=\frac{0.0025\times216}{6}=0.09<em />

Thus, the probability that exactly three calls will arrive in a two-minute interval is 0.09.

(d)

The average number of calls in 30 seconds is, 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5.

Compute the probability of <em>X</em> ≤ 1 as follows:

P (X ≤ 1 ) = P (X = 0) + P (X = 1)

             =\frac{e^{-1.5}1.5^{0}}{0!}+\frac{e^{-1.5}1.5^{1}}{1!}\\=0.2231+0.3347\\=0.5578

Thus, the probability that one or fewer calls will arrive in a 30-second interval is 0.5578.

23 × 32 is the prime factorization for which one of these choices?
forsale [732]

Hello.

Here's our explanation: First, you had to multiply line them up. 2*3=6, then 3*3=9. Bring down the zero, then multiply 2*2=4. And 3*2=6, which gives us equal to 640. Finally, add it up, 96+640=736. 736 is the final answer.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
