Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that there is a 0.7568 = 75.68% probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears.

The people are chosen from the sample without replacement, which is why the <u>hypergeometric distribution</u> is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

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

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

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • N is the size of the population.
  • n is the size of the sample.
  • k is the total number of desired outcomes.

In this problem:

  • 1000 people means that N = 1000
  • 130 can wiggle their ears, thus k = 130
  • Two are selected, thus n = 2.

The probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears is P(X = 0), thus:

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

P(X = x) = h(0,1000,2,130) = \frac{C_{130,0}C_{870,2}}{C_{1000,2}} = 0.7568

0.7568 = 75.68% probability that neither can wiggle his or her ears.

Answer:

4(x^{2} -4)^{2} -76

Step-by-step explanation:

Take out 4:

4(x^2-8x)-12

=4(x^2-8x+16-16)-12

=4(x^2-8x+16)-64-12

=4(x^2-4)^2 - 76

=4(x^{2} -4)^{2} -76
