A stereo store is offering a special price on a complete set of components (receiver, compact disc player, speakers, turntable).

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

a) 240 ways

b) 12 ways

c) 108 ways

d) 132 ways

e) i) 0.55

ii) 0.4125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the components:

Receiver, compound disk player, speakers, turntable.

Then a purcahser is offered a choice of manufacturer for each component:

Receiver: Kenwood, Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Sherwood => 5 offers

Compact disc player: Onkyo, Pioneer, Sony, Technics => 4 offers

Speakers: Boston, Infinity, Polk => 3 offers

Turntable: Onkyo, Sony, Teac, Technics => 4 offers

a) The number of ways one component of each type can be selected =

$\left(\begin{array}{ccc}5\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right)$

$= 5 * 4 * 3 * 4 = 240 ways$

b) If both the receiver and compact disk are to be sony.

In the receiver, the purchaser was offered 1 Sony, also in the CD(compact disk) player the purchaser was offered 1 Sony.

Thus, the number of ways components can be selected if both receiver and player are to be Sony is:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right)$

$= 1 * 1 * 3 * 4 = 12 ways$

c) If none is to be Sony.

Let's exclude Sony from each component.

Receiver has 1 sony = 5 - 1 = 4

CD player has 1 Sony = 4 - 1 = 3

Speakers had 0 sony = 3 - 0 = 3

Turntable has 1 sony = 4 - 1 = 3

Therefore, the number of ways can be selected if none is to be sony:

$\left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right)$

$= 4 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 108 ways$

d) If at least one sony is to be included.

Number of ways can a selection be made if at least one Sony component is to be included =

Total possible selections - possible selections without Sony

= 240 - 108

= 132 ways

e) If someone flips switches on the selection in a completely random fashion.

i) Probability of selecting at least one Sony component=

Possible selections with at least one sony / Total number of possible selections

$\frac{132}{240} = 0.55$

ii) Probability of selecting exactly one sony component =

Possible selections with exactly one sony / Total number of possible selections.

$\frac{\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) + \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) + \left(\begin{array}{ccc}4\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{ccc}1\\1\end{array}\right)}{240}$
