Answer: p = 0.9337

Step-by-step explanation: from the question, we have that

total number of pen (n)= 15

number of pen that has never been used=9

number of pen that has been used = 15 - 9 =6

number of pen choosing on monday = 3

total number of pen choosing on tuesday=3

note that the total number of pen is constant (15) since he returned the pen back .

probability of picking a pen that has never been used on tuesday = 9/15 = 3/5

probability of not picking a pen that has never been used on tuesday = 1-3/5=2/5

probability of picking a pen that has been used on tuesday = 6/15 = 2/5

probability of not picking a pen that has not been used on tuesday= 1- 2/5= 3/5

on tuesday, 3 balls were chosen at random and we need to calculate the probability that none of them has never been used .

we know that

probability of ball that none of the 3 pen has never being used on tuesday = 1 - probability that 3 of the pens has been used on tuesday.

to calculate the probability that 3 of the pen has been used on tuesday, we use the binomial probability distribution

p(x=r) = nCr * p^{r} * q^{n-r}

n= total number of pens=15

r = number of pen chosen on tuesday = 3

p = probability of picking a pen that has never been used on tuesday = 9/15 = 3/5

q = probability of not picking a pen that has never been used on tuesday = 1-3/5=2/5

by slotting in the parameters, we have that

p(x=3) = 15C3 * (\frac{2}{5})^{3} * (\frac{3}{5})^{12}

p(x=3) = 455 * 0.4^{3} * 0.6^{12}

p(x=3) = 455 * 0.064 * 0.002176

p(x=3) = 0.0633

thus probability that 3 of the pens has been used on tuesday. = 0.0633

probability of ball that none of the 3 pen has never being used on tuesday  = 1 - 0.0633 = 0.9337

statuscvo [17]
Total amount of money received by David for working at his father's store = $50
Amount of money spent by David at the movies = $20
Amount of money spent by David buying comics books = $10
Amount of money spent by David buying candy = $5
Then
Total amount spent by David = (20 + 10 + 5) dollars
                                               = 35 dollars
Amount of money saved by David = (50 - 35 ) dollars
                                                       = 15 dollars
So
The ratio of the amount of money David
spent to the amount of money David saved = 35:15
                                                                      = 7:3
So the ratio of the amount of money David spent to the amount of money David saved is 7:3
