If we sample from a small finite population without​ replacement, the binomial distribution should not be used because the event

s are not independent. If sampling is done without replacement and the outcomes belong to one of two​ types, we can use the hypergeometric distribution. If a population has A objects of one​ type, while the remaining B objects are of the other​ type, and if n objects are sampled without​ replacement, then the probability of getting x objects of type A and nminusx objects of type B under the hypergeometric distribution is given by the following formula. In a lottery​ game, a bettor selects six numbers from 1 to 56 ​(without repetition), and a winning six​-number combination is later randomly selected. Find the probabilities of getting exactly four winning numbers with one ticket.​ (Hint: Use Aequals6​, Bequals50​, nequals6​, and xequals4​.)

Answer:

5/4324 = 0.001156337

Step-by-step explanation:

To better understand the hyper-geometric distribution consider the following example:

There are 100 senators in the US Congress, and suppose 60 of them are republicans  so 100 - 60 = 40 are democrats).

We extract a random sample of 30 senators and we want to answer this question:

What is the probability that 10 senators in the sample are republicans (and of course, 30 - 10 = 20 democrats)?

The answer using the h-g distribution is:

\large \frac{\binom{60}{10}\binom{100-60}{30-10}}{\binom{100}{30}}=\frac{\binom{60}{10}\binom{40}{20}}{\binom{100}{30}}

Now, imagine there are 56 senators (56 lottery numbers), 6 are republicans (6 winning numbers and 50 losers), we extract a sample of 6 senators (the bettor selects 6 numbers). What is the probability that 4 senators are republicans? (What is the probability that 4 numbers are winners?).

<em>As we see, the situation is exactly the same,</em> but changing the numbers. So the answer would be

\large \frac{\binom{6}{4}\binom{56-6}{6-4}}{\binom{56}{6}}=\frac{\binom{6}{4}\binom{50}{2}}{\binom{56}{6}}

Now compute each combination separately:

\large \binom{6}{4}=\frac{6!}{4!2!}=15\\\\\binom{50}{2}=\frac{50!}{2!48!}=1225\\\\\binom{50}{6}=\frac{50!}{6!44!}=15890700

and now replace the values:

\large \frac{\binom{6}{4}\binom{50}{2}}{\binom{56}{6}}=\frac{15*1225}{15890700}=\frac{18375}{15890700}=\frac{5}{4324}

and that is it.

If the decimal expression is preferred then divide the fractions to get 0.001156337

Lyrx [107]
Answer:

The length of the building's shadow = 550.66 ft

Explanations:

The height of the Empie State Building = 1250 feet

The friend's height = 75 inches

The length of the friend's shadow = 33 inches

\frac{Actual\text{ height of the friend}}{\text{Length of the friend's shadow}}=\text{ }\frac{Height\text{ of the building}}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}}\begin{gathered} \frac{75}{33}=\text{ }\frac{1250}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}} \\ 2.27\text{ =  }\frac{1250}{\text{Length of the building's shadow}} \\ \text{Length of the building's shadow = }\frac{1250}{2.27} \\ \text{Length of the building's shadow = }550.66\text{ f}et \end{gathered}

It would be D because you need to multiply 38 and 50. But x is the length of one classroom, and because we don't know it, you would get 38(50-x).

Good luck!!
