Answer:
0.001687 = 0.1687% probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed.
Step-by-step explanation:
The vessels are destroyed and then not replaced, 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:
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:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
In this question:
Fleet of 18 means that
9 are carrying nuclear weapons, which means that
9 are destroyed, which means that
What is the probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed?
This is:
In which
Then
0.001687 = 0.1687% probability that no more than 1 vessel transporting nuclear weapons was destroyed.
You can solve this in two ways.
1. Graphical. Plot the graph for x between -5 and 1 (see attachement).
The vertex of the graph is the peak of the curve, which has the coordinates x=-2, y=-9.
2. Analytical. Calculate the derivative of the function f(x)
Solve the equation:
will give the solution x=-2.
Replace x=-2 in the f(x) function and you'll get the value of y:
You get the same answer: x=-2, y=-9
So the answer is
<span>B. (-2, -9)</span>
