Answer:
0.323 = 32.3% probability that the director chooses 3 boy kittens and 5 girl kittens.
Step-by-step explanation:
The kittens are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

In which:
x is the number of sucesses.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

A TV studio has brought in 8 boy kittens and 10 girl kittens for a cat food commercial.
This means that 
We want 3 boys, so 
The director is going to choose 8 of these kittens at random to be in the commercial.
This means that 
What is the probability that the director chooses 3 boy kittens and 5 girl kittens?
This is P(X = 3).


0.323 = 32.3% probability that the director chooses 3 boy kittens and 5 girl kittens.
- Given, x > 0, y > 0.
- So, the values of x and y are less than 0, that means, they are negative integers.
- If we divide a Cartesian plane with the x-axis and y-axis, we get four quadrants.
- 1st Quadrant : (+,+)
- 2nd Quadrant : (-,+)
- 3rd Quadrant : (-,-)
- 4th Quadrant : (+,-)
- Since the values of x and y are both negative, so (x, y) is located in the <em><u>3rd Quadrant</u></em>.
Hope you could get an idea from here.
Doubt clarification - use comment section
I believe it’s 4 since he’s in dept with 4 dollars so that’ll be -4, but the absolute value is 4 since it’s 4 spaces away from 0.
I believe it’s option #3. hopefully that helps :)
