Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0452 = 4.52% probability that this group of four students includes at least two of the top three geography students in the class.

The students are chosen without replacement, hence the <em>hypergeometric distribution</em> is used to solve this question.

<h3>What is the hypergeometric distribution formula?</h3>

The <em>formula </em>is:

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:

  • There are 28 students in class, hence N = 28.
  • Four people will be chosen at random, hence n = 4.
  • The top three is composed by 3 people, hence k = 3.

The probability that this group of four students includes at least two of the top three geography students in the class is:

P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

In which:

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

P(X = 2) = h(2,28,4,3) = \frac{C_{3,2}C_{25,2}}{C_{28,4}} = 0.0440

P(X = 3) = h(3,28,4,3) = \frac{C_{3,3}C_{25,1}}{C_{28,4}} = 0.0012

Then:

P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0440 + 0.0012 = 0.0452

0.0452 = 4.52% probability that this group of four students includes at least two of the top three geography students in the class.

The area of square: s · s = s²

The area of rectangle: (s + 6) · s = s(s + 6)

So:

s² + s(s + 6) = 56

s² + s(s + 6) - 56 = 0

Solve 64^x = 16^x−1.
erica [24]
64^x=16^x-1====> Make the bases the same
4^3(x)=4^2(x-1)=> Solve for x by bringing down the exponent without the base.
3(x)=2(x-1)=====> Distribute
3x=2x-2======> Now solve for x
3x = 2x-2
-2x  -2x
x=-2
Therefore x is negative two

It takes a wheel 200 feet to complete 12 revolutions. Find the length of an arc of the wheel to the nearest hundredth created by
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

  2.65 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Each revolution corresponds to a central angle of 2π radians, so 12 revolutions represent an arc of 24π radians. That means the arc length of 1 radian is ...

  (1 rad)(200 ft)/(24π rad) ≈ 2.65 ft

The length of the arc with a central angle of 1 rad is about 2.65 feet.
