A village fete has a children’s running race each year, run in heats of up to ten children. For each heat the first three contes

tants past the finishing line qualify for the final. There are three prizes in the final for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. One year 29 children enter the race so there are three heats, of ten, ten and nine children. One year 29 children enter the race so there are three heats, of ten, ten and nine children. 1) What is the probability that three randomly chosen competitors win prizes? 2) What is the probability that two randomly chosen competitors win prizes? 3) How many ways are there to select ten competitors for the first heat? 4) Once the competitors have been selected for the first heat, how many different groups of three qualifiers are possible from this heat

Answer:  1) 1/3,654     2) 3/406     3) 72,684,900,288,000      4) 120

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

1)         First       and        Second         and         Third

  \dfrac{3\ total\ prizes}{29\ total\ people}\times \dfrac{2\ remaining\ prizes}{28\ remaining\ people}\times \dfrac{1\ remaining\ prize}{27\ remaining\ people}=\dfrac{6}{21,924}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3,654}}

2)         First       and          Second

   \dfrac{3\ total\ prizes}{29\ total\ people}\times \dfrac{2\ remaining\ prizes}{28\ remaining\ people}=\dfrac{6}{812}=\large\boxed{\dfrac{13}{406}}

3)\quad \dfrac{29!}{(29-10)!}=\large\boxed{72,684,900,288,000}

4)\quad _{10}C_3=\dfrac{10!}{3!(10-3)!}=\large\boxed{120}

Suppose that the population mean for income is $50,000, while the population standard deviation is 25,000. If we select a random
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is 0.0057.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population mean for income is $50,000, while the population standard deviation is 25,000.

We select a random sample of 1,000 people.

<em>Let </em>\bar X<em> = sample mean</em>

The z-score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

               Z = \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \mu = population mean = $50,000

            \sigma = population standard deviation = $25,000

            n = sample of people = 1,000

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

So, probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is given by = P(\bar X > $52,000)

  P(\bar X > $52,000) = P( \frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } > \frac{52,000-50,000}{\frac{25,000}{\sqrt{1,000} } } ) = P(Z > 2.53) = 1 - P(Z \leq 2.53)

                                                                    = 1 - 0.9943 = 0.0057

<em>Now, in the z table the P(Z </em>\leq<em> x) or P(Z < x) is given. So, the above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.53 in the z table which has an area of 0.9943.</em>

Therefore, probability that the sample will have a mean that is greater than $52,000 is 0.0057.
