Here's a little known but very useful factoid:
If they're inversely proportional,
then their product is constant.
Here's how to use it:
-- We're told that Y = 8 when X = 7.
So when y=8 and x=7, their product is 56 .
-- If Y REALLY varies inversely as X, then
their product is ALWAYS going to be 56.
-- So when Y=4, X= (56/4) = 14 .
Answer:
The probability that none of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company is 0.2637.
Step-by-step explanation:
A hyper-geometric distribution is used to define the probability distribution of <em>k</em> success in <em>n</em> samples drawn from a population of size <em>N</em> which include <em>K</em> success. Every draw is either a success of failure.
The random variable <em>X</em> = number of meals that will exceed the cost covered by the company.
The random variable <em>X</em> follows a hyper-geometric distribution.
The information provided is:
N = 15
K = 3
n = 5
k = 0
The probability mass function of a hyper-geometric distribution is:

Compute the probability that none of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company as follows:

Thus, the probability that none of the meals will exceed the cost covered by your company is 0.2637.
