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

Write an equation that can be used to solve the following: The sum of a number, n, and a number 5 larger than it is 41.
navik [9.2K]

n + n + 5 = 41 (4) 5n + n + 1 = 41

<em>n and "5 larger than n" </em>

'5 larger than n' = equivalent to n + 5

We now have n + n + 5

The problem says 41, thus;

<em>n + n + 5 = 41</em>

Find the LCM of 7 and 13
Korolek [52]

LCM stands for Least Common Multiple.

The LCM of two numbers is the lowest number that can divide into the two original numbers.

For most numbers, you can find the LCM by simply multiplying the two numbers:

7 \cdot 13 = \boxed{91}

The LCM of 7 and 13 will be 91.

Jed bought a generator that will run for 2 hours on a liter of gas. The gas tank on the generator is a rectangular prism with di
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The generator will run for 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the volume of the gas tank that is on the generator. I am told that the gas tank is a rectangular prism that has the dimensions of 20 cm, 15 cm, and 10cm.

Area of any prism = height * width * length

Area of prism = 20 cm * 15 cm * 10 cm = 3,000 cm cubed

I am told the important info that <u>1,000 cm cubed = 1 liter </u>

Therefore, 3,000 cm cubed = 3 liters

I am also told that the generator will run for 2 hours on 1 liter of gas

Lets make a ratio table:

Hours the generator will run for : liters of gas

                                                   2 : 1

                                                   6 : 3

the generator will run for 6 hours.

What is the recursive formula when given the explicit formula for the following geometric sequence?
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a careful look at a(n) =  6(-8)^(n-1).

The first term is 6.  This is the result if we let n = 1; 6(-8)^0 = 6(1) = 6.  Thus, we can immediately eliminate possible answer choices A and D.

What's the next term?  Knowing that the first term, a(1), is 6, the next term is found by multiplying this 6 by (-8)^1, obtaining -48.

The next (third) term is found by multiplying this -48 by (-8)^2, obtaining -48*(+64), or - 3072.

Note that the sign of (-8)^(n-1) alternates, being odd when n-1 is odd and even when n-1 is even.

Answer C is the correct one.
