In a MBS first year class, there are three sections each including 20 students. In the first section, there are 10 boys and 10 g

irls, in the second section there are 15 boys and 5 girls, and in the third section, there are 12 boys and 8 girls. Five students are selected at random from each group to form committee of 15 students. What is the probability that all the 15 students selected are girls?​

Answer:

3.52 \times 10^{-9} = 3.52 \times 10^{-7}\% probability that all the 15 students selected are girls

Step-by-step explanation:

The selection is from a sample without replacement, so we use the hypergeometric distribution to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses 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 sucesses.

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)!}

All girls from the first group:

20 students, so N = 20

10 girls, so k = 10

5 students will be selected, so n = 5

We want all of them to be girls, so we find P(X = 5).

P_1 = P(X = 5) = h(5,20,5,10) = \frac{C_{10,5}*C_{10,5}}{C_{20,5}} = 0.0163

All girls from the second group:

20 students, so N = 20

5 girls, so k = 5

5 students will be selected, so n = 5

We want all of them to be girls, so we find P(X = 5).

P_2 = P(X = 5) = h(5,20,5,5) = \frac{C_{5,5}*C_{15,5}}{C_{20,5}} = 0.00006

All girls from the third group:

20 students, so N = 20

8 girls, so k = 8

5 students will be selected, so n = 5

We want all of them to be girls, so we find P(X = 5).

P_3 = P(X = 5) = h(5,20,5,8) = \frac{C_{8,5}*C_{12,5}}{C_{20,5}} = 0.0036

All 15 students are girls:

Groups are independent, so we multiply the probabilities:

P = P_1*P_2*P_3 = 0.0163*0.00006*0.0036 = 3.52 \times 10^{-9}

3.52 \times 10^{-9} = 3.52 \times 10^{-7}\% probability that all the 15 students selected are girls

Third option: 7x + 3 = x − 3

2. The solution to the system is:

Fourth option: (3,-1)

3. The graph of the system y = −2x + 3 and 2x + 4y = 8 is:

Third option: Line through point (0, 3) and (1, 1). Line through (0, 2) and (4, 0).

4. The solution to the system is:

Second option: Infinite solutions.

5. Bill will have read the same amount of books as Mandy in:

Fourth option: December


Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1. What equation is solved by the graphed systems of equations?

Two linear equations that intersect at the point (-1, -4)=(x,y)→x=-1, y=-4

a. 7x + 3 = x + 3

Solving for x: Grouping the x's on the left side of the equation: Subtracting x both sides of the equation:

7x+3-x=x+3-x

6x+3=3

Subtracting 3 both sides of the equation:

6x+3-3=3-3

6x=0

Dividing both sides of the equation by 6:

6x/6=0/6

Dividing:

x=0 different to the intersection at x=-1, then this is not the equation.

b. 7x − 3 = x − 3

Solving for x: Grouping the x's on the left side of the equation: Subtracting x both sides of the equation:

7x-3-x=x-3-x

6x-3=-3

Adding 3 both sides of the equation:

6x-3+3=-3+3

6x=0

Dividing both sides of the equation by 6:

6x/6=0/6

Dividing:

x=0 different to the intersection at x=-1, then this is not the equation.

c. 7x + 3 = x − 3

Solving for x: Grouping the x's on the left side of the equation: Subtracting x both sides of the equation:

7x+3-x=x-3-x

6x+3=-3

Subtracting 3 both sides of the equation:

6x+3-3=-3-3

6x=-6

Dividing both sides of the equation by 6:

6x/6=-6/6

Dividing:

x=-1 equal to the intersection at x=-1, then this is the equation.

d. 7x − 3 = x + 3

Solving for x: Grouping the x's on the left side of the equation: Subtracting x both sides of the equation:

7x-3-x=x+3-x

6x-3=3

Adding 3 both sides of the equation:

6x-3+3=3+3

6x=6

Dividing both sides of the equation by 6:

6x/6=6/6

Dividing:

x=1 different to the intersection at x=-1, then this is not the equation.

Question 5 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points) (06.03) At the end of April, Mandy told Bill that she has read 16 books this year and reads 2 books each month. Bill wants to catch up to Mandy. He tracks his book reading with a table on his door. Using his table below, what month will Bill have read the same amount of books as Mandy?

Bill

Month     Books

May             4

June            8

July             12

August        16

September 20

October      24

November  28

December  32


Books read by Mandy: y=16+2x

Numbers of months since april: x


May: x=1→y=16+2(1)=16+2→y=18 different to 4 (books read by Bill)

June: x=2→y=16+2(2)=16+4→y=20 different to 8 (books read by Bill)

July: x=3→y=16+2(3)=16+6→y=22 different to 12 (books read by Bill)

September: x=5→y=16+2(5)=16+10→y=26 different to 20 (books read by Bill)

October: x=6→y=16+2(6)=16+12→y=28 different to 24 (books read by Bill)

November: x=7→y=16+2(7)=16+14→y=30 different to 28 (books read by Bill)

December: x=8→y=16+2(8)=16+16→y=32 equal to 32 (books read by Bill)
