Answer:

0.3968 = 39.68% probability this shipment passes inspection.

Step-by-step explanation:

The parts are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

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.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

50 parts means that $N = 50$

4 defective means that $k = 4$

10 are chosen, which means that $n = 10$

What is the probability this shipment passes inspection?

Probability that none is defective, so:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 0) = h(0,50,10,4) = \frac{C_{4,0}*C_{46,10}}{C_{50,10}} = 0.3968$

0.3968 = 39.68% probability this shipment passes inspection.

Twenty-one boys and eight girls go on a camping trip. In how many ways can a group of six be selected to gather firewood, given

lorasvet [3.4K]

(a) there are 8C2 = 28 ways of picking 2 girls from 8
And there are 21C4 = 5985 ways of picking 4 boys

Required number of ways for 2g / 4b = 28 * 5985 = 167,580

(b) at least 2 girls means combinations of 2g/4b , 3g,3b , 4g/2b , 5g 1b or
6 girls.

2g/4b = 167,580 ways
3g/3b = 8C3 * 21C3 = 56 * 1330 = 74,480
4g/2b = 8C4* 21C2 = 70 * 210 = 14,700
5g 1b = 8C5* 21 = 56*21 = 1176
6 girls = 8C6 = 28

adding these up we get the answer to (b) which is 257,964
