In an experiment, a ball is drawn from an urn containing 12 purple balls and 13 green balls. If the ball is purple, two coins ar

e tossed. Otherwise three coins are tossed. How many elements of the sample space will have a purple ball? How many elements of the sample space are there altogether?

Answer:

4 elements of the sample space will have a purple ball

There are 10 elements altogether

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is given by number of possible outcomes ÷ number of total outcomes

Number of purple balls = 12, number of green balls = 13, total number of balls = 12+13 = 25

Probability (a ball drawn is purple) = 12/25

If a purple ball is drawn, two coins are tossed

1 coin has 2 elements

2 coins have 2×2 = 4 elements

Probability (a ball drawn is not purple) = 1 - 12/25 = (25-12)/25 = 13/25

If a ball drawn is not purple, three coins are tossed

1 coin has 2 elements

3 coins have 3×2 = 6 elements

Total elements = 4 + 6= 10 elements

Assume that there are an equal number of births in each month so that the probability is that a person chosen at random was born
NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.2773 = 27.73% probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a birthday in May, or they do not. The probability of a person having a birthday in May is independent of any other person. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of a person being in May:

May has 31 days in a year of 365. So

p = \frac{31}{365} = 0.0849

Group of 20 friends:

This means that n = 20

What is the probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays?

This is P(X = 2).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.0849)^{2}.(0.9151)^{18} = 0.2773

0.2773 = 27.73% probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays

Suppose that a researcher wanted to measure the federal government's efforts to make the education of its citizens a priority. T
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

STRENGTHS

1) Budget is a major pointer to a government's commitment in a particular sector. Money allocated for education versus the %GDP will definitely show if education is a priority for the government or not.

WEAKNESSES

1) The major player, (the citizens) is not the determinant in this measure.

2) Without knowing the actual number or estimate of those who would be captured in this budget it may be impossible to know if education was really the priority of the government. Let's say (X) number of persons will benefit from the education budget, if X is unknown then planning would be on assumptions.

3) Budget alone is not sufficient in determining the commitment of the government in a sector. Laws, policies as well play a huge role and in this research laws,and policies are not part of the determining indices.
