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:

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)!}

Desired outcomes:

Five black buttons, from a set of 10

Four brown buttons, from a set of 6.

D = C_{10,5}*C_{6,4} = \frac{10!}{5!(10-5)!}*\frac{6!}{4!(6-4)!} = 3780

Total outcomes:

Nine buttons, from a set of 16.

T = C_{16,9} = \frac{16!}{9!(16-9)!} = 11440

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{3780}{11440} = 0.3304

33.04% probability that exactly five of them are black

A paper sheet is cut 28 inches to the nearest inches. Find the maximum and minimum length of the patient possible.
aliina [53]

Answer:

  • max: 28.5 inches
  • min: 27.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If the actual dimension were different from 28 inches by more than 1/2 inch, it would be reported as a different dimension. So, the minimum that will be reported as 28 is 27.5. The maximum that will be reported as 28 will be 28.4999999.... ≈ 28.5

The maximum and minimum length of the sheet are 28.5 inches and 27.5 inches, respectively.
