Answer: 0.383 and 0.6671

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 22%, that is 0.22 to be probability of success.

That means "1-0.22 = 0.78" is the probability of failure.

When dealing with selection in probability mathematics, the combination equation is used.

Probability of selecting number 'r' as a successful outcome from a given number 'n' is given as

nCr * p^r * q^n-r

Where p is the probability of success= 0.22

q is the probability of failure= 0.78

n is the total number of sample =10

r is the varying outcome of number of success.

For the first question, number of success is asked to be everything more than 2, that is probability of choosing 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 people with a successful outcome (adults who will pay more for environmentally friendly product.)

Instead of going through the long process of checking probability of success for choosing 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 adults who will pay more, we can simply find the probability of choosing 0,1,2 adults who will pay more and subtract the answer from 1.

By doing this, we first check for probability of choosing 0 adult that will pay More and this is gotten by putting r=0 in our probability Formula. The Formula becomes

=10C0 * 0.22^0 * 0.78^10

=1 *1 * 0.0834= 0.0834

Hence, Probability of Choosing 0 adult that will Pay more is 0.0834

To Check for probability of choosing 1 adult that will pay more becomes

=10C1 * 0.22^1 * 0.78^9

=10 * 0.22 * 0.1069 = 0.2352

Hence, Probability of choosing 1adult that will pay more = 0.2352

To Check for the probability of choosing 2adults that will pay more becomes

=10C2 * 0.22^2 * 0.78^8

=45 * 0.0484 * 0.1370 = 0.2984

Therefore the total sum of choosing 0,1,2 adults that are willing to pay more becomes

= 0.0834+ 0.2352+ 0.2984 = 0.617

So to determine the probability of choosing more than 2 adults, that is, 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 adults that are willing to pay more, we subtract 0.617 from 1.

This gives 1-0.617 = 0.383

Hence, probability of choosing more than 2 people that are willing to pay more than 2 = 0.383.

To determine the probability of choosing between two and five people inclusive, we follow the same probability formular but r becomes 2,3,4,5 differently.

For probability of choosing 2 adults, we already calculated it to be 0.2984 earlier.

For probability of choosing 3 adults, it becomes

10C3 * 0.22^3 * 0.78^7

=120* 0.0106 * 0.1757 = 0.2235

For the probability of choosign 4 adults, it becomes

10C4 * 0.22^4 * 0.78^6

= 210 * 0.0023 * 0.2252 = 0.1088

For the probability of choosing 5 adults, it becomes

10C5 * 0.22^5 * 0.78^5

= 252 * 0.0005 * 0.2887 = 0.0364

Hence, the probability of choosing between 2 and 5 adults becomes

0.2984 + 0.2235 + 0.1088 + 0.0364 = 0.6671

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a)

The probability is :  1/2

(b)

The probability is :  1/2

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The numbers​ 1, 2,​ 3, 4, and 5 are written on slips of​ paper, and 2 slips are drawn at random one at a time without replacement.

The total combinations that are possible are:

(1,2)   (1,3)    (1,4)    (1,5)

(2,1)   (2,3)   (2,4)   (2,5)

(3,1)   (3,2)   (3,4)   (3,5)

(4,1)   (4,2)   (4,3)   (4,5)

(5,1)   (5,2)   (5,3)   (5,4)

i.e. the total outcomes are : 20

(a)

Let A denote the event that the first number is 4.

and B denote the event that the sum is: 9.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

We are asked to find:

               P(A|B)

We know that it could be calculated by using the formula:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(B)}

Hence, based on the data we have:

P(A\bigcap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}

( Since, out of a total of 20 outcomes there is just one outcome which comes in A∩B and it is:  (4,5) )

and

P(B)=\dfrac{2}{20}

( since, there are just two outcomes such that the sum is: 9

(4,5) and (5,4) )

Hence, we have:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{20}}{\dfrac{2}{20}}\\\\i.e.\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{1}{2}

(b)

Let A denote the event that the first number is 3.

and B denote the event that the sum is: 8.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

We are asked to find:

               P(A|B)

Hence, based on the data we have:

P(A\bigcap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}

( since, the only outcome out of 20 outcomes is:  (3,5) )

and

P(B)=\dfrac{2}{20}

( since, there are just two outcomes such that the sum is: 8

(3,5) and (5,3) )

Hence, we have:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{20}}{\dfrac{2}{20}}\\\\i.e.\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{1}{2}

Plz answer below 38 pts and will mkae u brainliest.
mestny [16]

Answer:

Question 1: She needs 12 blue beads and 48 black beads.

Question 2: She needs 10 blue beads and 25 black beads.

Step-by-step explanation:

I used ratios

question one's ratio is 3:12 and the second one's ratio is 4:10. If you keep that ratio consistent than those are the numbers you get based on the number of beads long she wants her necklace.

that's my best guess
