A university class has 26 students: 12 are art majors, 9 are history majors, 5 and are nursing majors. The professor is planning

to select two of the students for a demonstration. The first student will be selected at random, and then the second student will be selected at random from the remaining students. What is the probability that the first student selected is a history major and the second student is a nursing major?

Answer:

6.9%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a university class has 26 students: 12 are art majors, 9 are history majors, 5 and are nursing majors, and the professor is planning to select two of the students for a demonstration, where the first student will be selected at random, and then the second student will be selected at random from the remaining students, to determine what is the probability that the first student selected is a history major and the second student is a nursing major the following calculations must be performed:

26 = 100

9 = X

9 x 100/26 = X

900/26 = X

34.61 = X

25 = 100

5 = X

500/25 = X

20 = X

0.2 x 0.3461 = X

0.069 = X

Thus, the probability that the first student selected is a history major and the second student is a nursing major is 6.9%.

Answer:

Therefore,  the probability that at least half of them need to wait more than 10 minutes is <em>0.0031</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the probability of an exponential distribution is:

P(x < b) = 1 - e^(b/3)

Using the complement rule, we can determine the probability of a customer having to wait more than 10 minutes, by:

p = P(x > 10)

  = 1 - P(x < 10)

  = 1 - (1 - e^(-10/10) )

  = e⁻¹

  = 0.3679

The z-score is the difference in sample size and the population mean, divided by the standard deviation:

z = (p' - p) / √[p(1 - p) / n]

  = (0.5 - 0.3679) / √[0.3679(1 - 0.3679) / 100)]

  = 2.7393

Therefore, using the probability table, you find that the corresponding probability is:

P(p' ≥ 0.5) = P(z > 2.7393)

<em>P(p' ≥ 0.5) = 0.0031</em>

<em></em>

Therefore,  the probability that at least half of them need to wait more than 10 minutes is <em>0.0031</em>.

I need help on question 8 ....
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

8a - 6b

You have to substitute in you other numbers:

a = 4 and b = 3

Your new equation would be:

8(4) - 6(3)

Now solve:

8 x 4 = 32

6 x 3 = 18

New problem:

32 - 18

= 14

So your answer is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps!
