The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3723 based on their 13 year win history of 385 wins out

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

0.1505 = 15.05% probability that the hockey team wins 6 games in November

Step-by-step explanation:

For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the team wins, or it does not. The probability of winning a game is independent of winning other games. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3723

So $p = 0.3723$

12 games in November

So $n = 12$

What is the probability that the hockey team wins 6 games in November?

This is $P(X = 6)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 6) = C_{12,6}.(0.3723)^{6}.(1-0.3723)^{6} = 0.1505$

0.1505 = 15.05% probability that the hockey team wins 6 games in November

A library has five copies of a certain textbook on reserve of which two copies (1 and 2) are hardcover books and the other three

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Since the student have to stop when he gets to w softcover book, then the sample space should always stop at either 3 or 4 or 5. If the students examines the books randomly and stops at a softcover book, here are the possible ways he could carry this out,

S = {3, 4, 5, 13, 14, 15, 23, 24, 25, 123, 124, 125, 213, 214, 215}

2. Since only one book is to be examined then the student must check only one softcover book and end the examining. To do this, either he examines just 3 or 4 or 5. Therefore,

A = {3, 4, 5}

3. We need to pick the possibilities from the sample space that shows that the examining ended at book 5. Therefore,

B = {5, 15, 25, 125, 215}

4. We need to pick possibilities from the sample space that shows that book 1 was not examined. Therefore,

C = {3, 4, 5, 23, 24, 25}
