Computer keyboard failures can be attributed to electrical defects or mechanical defects. A repair facility currently has 25 fai

led keyboards, 6 of which have electrical defects and 19 of which have mechanical defects.
a. How many ways are there to randomly select 5 of these keyboards for a thorough inspection (without regard to order)?
b. In how many ways can a sample of 5 keyboards be selected so that exactly two have an electrical defect?
c. If a sample of 5 keyboards is randomly selected, what is the probability that at least 4 of these will have a mechanical defect?

Answer:

A. 53130

B. 1 4535

C.  0.656578

Explanation:

a.

Failed keyboards = 25

The number of electrical defects = 6

The number of mechanical defects = 19

using Combination Formulas since the question stated that order isn't required.

Combination formula is nCr = n! / r! * (n - r)!,

In the above formula,  n = The number of the population

r= the number of items chosen randomly whenever there is selection

In the question, n= 25, r= 5

so putting this in the formula we have:

nCr =  25! / 5! (25-5)!

nCr =  25! / 5! (20)!

so, 25! is 25 x 24 x 23 x 22 x 21 x 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 divided by 5! (20)!

where 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

and (20)! = 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

25C5 = 53130

b.

To do this, we will find the combination of the value of keyboards that have have electrical defects then multiply it be the value of the combination of keyboards that have mechanical defects.

for electrical defects, n= 6

6C2 =  6! / 2! (6-2)!

Note we use 2 because of the value given from the question (In how many ways can a sample of 5 keyboards be selected so that exactly two have an electrical defect?)

6C2 =  6! / 2! (4)!

6C2 = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 / 2 x 1 (4 x 3 x 2 x 1 )

6C2 = 720 / 2(24‬)

6C2 = 15‬

for mechanical defects, n = 19, selecting the other 3, so r = 3

19C3 =  19! / 2! (19-3)!

19C3 = 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 / 3 x 2 x 1 ( x 16 x 15 x 14 x 13 x 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)

19C3 = 121,645,100,408,832,000‬ / 2 (355,687,428,096,000‬)

19C3 =969‬

19C3  x 6C2 =  969 x 15‬ = 1 4535

C.

For mechanical defect = we add to events together

19C4 =  19! / 4! (19-4)! + (19C5 = 19! / 5! (19-5)!)

19C4=  23256

19C5  = 11628

so adding these events 23256  +  11628  = 34884

Since the total of 25 combinating 5 selections, that is 25C5 =  53130

Then the probability that at least 4 of these will have a mechanical defect

= 34884 / 53130

= 0.656578

Answer:

Here is the JAVA program:

public class Main {  //class name

public static void main(String[] args) {   //start of main method

//sets all boolean type variables spades, hearts diamonds and clubs to false initially

   boolean spades = false;  

   boolean hearts = false;

   boolean diamonds = false;

   boolean clubs = false;  

   String[] deck = new String[4];  //to store card sequence

   int index = 0;  //to store index position

   int NoOfPicks = 0;  //to store number of picks (picks count)

   while (!spades || !hearts || !diamonds || !clubs) {   //loop starts

       String card = printCard(getRandomCard());  //calls printCard method by passing getRandomCard method as argument to it to get the card

       NoOfPicks++;   //adds 1 to pick count

       if (card.contains("Spades") && !spades) {  //if that random card is a card of Spades and spades is not false

           deck[index++] = card;  //add that card to the index position of deck

           spades = true;  //sets spades to true

       } else if (card.contains("Hearts") && !hearts) {  //if that random card is a card of Hearts and hearts is not false

           deck[index++] = card;  

           hearts = true;   //sets hearts to true

       } else if (card.contains("Diamond") && !diamonds) {  //if that random card is a card of Diamond and diamonds is not false

           deck[index++] = card;

           diamonds = true;  //sets diamonds to true

       } else if (card.contains("Clubs") && !clubs) {  if that random card is a card of Clubs and clubs is not false

           deck[index++] = card;

           clubs = true;         }     }   //sets clubs to true

   for (int i = 0; i < deck.length; i++) {  //iterates through the deck i.e. card sequence array

       System.out.println(deck[i]);     }  //prints the card number in deck

   System.out.println("Number of picks: " + NoOfPicks);  }   //prints number of picks

public static int getRandomCard() {  //gets random card

   return (int) (Math.random() * 52); }   //generates random numbers of 52 range

public static String printCard(int cardNo) {   //displays rank number and suit

   String[] suits = { "Spades", "Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs", };  //array of suits

   String[] rankCards = { "Ace", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10",

           "Jack", "Queen", "King" };   //array of rank

  int suitNo = cardNo / 13;  //divides card number by 13 and stores to suitNo

 int rankNo = cardNo % 13;   //takes modulo of card number and 13 and store it to rankNo

   return rankCards[rankNo] + " of " + suits[suitNo];  }}  //returns rankCard at rankNo index and suits at suitNo index
