Answer:
The probability of SFS and SSF are same, i.e. P (SFS) = P (SSF) = 0.1311.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of a component passing the test is, P (S) = 0.79.
The probability that a component fails the test is, P (F) = 1 - 0.79 = 0.21.
Three components are sampled.
Compute the probability of the test result as SFS as follows:
P (SFS) = P (S) × P (F) × P (S)
Compute the probability of the test result as SSF as follows:
P (SSF) = P (S) × P (S) × P (F)
Thus, the probability of SFS and SSF are same, i.e. P (SFS) = P (SSF) = 0.1311.
Answer: 15/91 which is choice B
=================================================================
There are two methods to find this answer.
Method 1) We have 6 girls and 8+6 = 14 students. The probability of picking a girl is 6/14 = 3/7. After the first girl is chosen, we have 5 girls left out of 14-1 = 13 students overall. The probability of picking another girl (assuming the first selection was a girl) is 5/13. Multiply these probabilities: (3/7)*(5/13) = (3*5)/(7*13) = 15/91
--------------------
Method 2) We can use the nCr combination formula. Order does not matter.
We have nCr = 6 C 2 = 15 ways to pick 2 girls. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 1)
Out of nCr = 14 C 2 = 91 ways to pick 2 students. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 2)
So that's another way to get the answer 15/91.
