a jar contains ten black buttons and six brown buttons. If nine buttons are picked at random, what is the probability that exact
1 answer:
Answer:
33.04% probability that exactly five of them are black
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
The order in which the buttons are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
Desired outcomes:
Five black buttons, from a set of 10
Four brown buttons, from a set of 6.
Total outcomes:
Nine buttons, from a set of 16.
Probability:
33.04% probability that exactly five of them are black

The correct question statement is:
A probability experiment is conducted in which the sample space of the experiment is S = {4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}. Let event E={7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}. Assume each outcome is equally likely. List the outcomes in
. Find 
.
Solution:
Part 1:
means compliment of the set E. A compliment of a set can be obtained by finding the difference of the set from the universal set. The universal set is the set which contains all the possible outcomes of the events which is S in this case.
So, compliment of E will be equal to S - E. S - E will result in all those elements of S which are not present in E. So, we can write:
Thus the set compliment of E will contain the elements {4,5,6}.So
= {4,5,6}
Part 2)
means probability that if we select any number from the Sample Space S, it will belong the set E compliment.
= (Number of Elements in 
)/Number of elements in S
Number of elements in set S = n(S) = 12
Number of elements in set = 
=3
So,

So, compliment of E will be equal to S - E. S - E will result in all those elements of S which are not present in E. So, we can write:
Thus the set compliment of E will contain the elements {4,5,6}.So
Part 2)
Number of elements in set S = n(S) = 12
Number of elements in set
So,
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If given tables in the picture show the proportional relationship,
Number of wheels (w) ∝ Number of buses (b)
w ∝ b
w = kb
Here, k = proportionality constant
k =
Number of buses (b) Number wheels (w) Wheels per bus
5 30
8 48
10 60
15 90
Here, proportionality constant is 6.
Similarly, If number of wheels (w) ∝ Number of train cars (t)
w = kt
Here, k = proportionality constant
k =
Number of train cars(t) Number of wheels(w) Wheels per train car ()
20 184
30 264
40 344
50 424
Since, ratio of w and t is not constant, relation between number of wheels and number of train cars is not proportional.
