Answer:

0.2406 = 24.06% probability that exactly two of the selected major customers accept the plan

Step-by-step explanation:

The customers are chosen without replacement, which means that 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.

50 major customers, 15 would accept the plan.

This means that N = 50, k = 15

The utility selects 10 major customers randomly (without replacement) to contact and promote the plan.

This means that n = 10

a. What is the probability that exactly two of the selected major customers accept the plan

This is P(X = 2).

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = 2) = h(2,50,10,15) = \frac{C_{15,2}*C_{35,8}}{C_{50,10}} = 0.2406

0.2406 = 24.06% probability that exactly two of the selected major customers accept the plan

Which ordered pair can be plotted together with these four points, so that the resulting graph still represents a function?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

B.(-1,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a function, there can not be two different values of y corresponding to the same value of x.

See the graph attached.

Here, the points on the graph are (1,2), (2,-3), (-2,-2) and (-3,1).

If we consider point (-2,2) then there will be two points corresponding to the same x value i.e. (-2,-2) and (-2,2).

Similarly, if we consider the point (2,-2) or (2.-1) then also there becomes more than one values of y for a single value of x i.e. x = 2.

So, if we consider the ordered pair (-1,2) then only the graph still represents a function. (Answer)
