A student placement center has requests from five students for interviews regarding employment with a particular consulting firm

. Three of these students are math majors, and the other two students are statistics majors. Unfortunately, the interviewer has time to talk to only two of the students; these two will be randomly selected from among the five.
(a) What is the probability that both selected students are statistics majors?
(b) What is the probability that both students are math majors?
(c) What is the probability that at least one of the students selected is a statistics major?
(d) What is the probability that the selected students have different majors?

Answer: a) 1 / 10

b) 3 / 10

c) 1 / 5

d) 3 / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of requests five students for interviews regarding employment with the consulting firm = 5

Number of students that are maths majors = 3

Probability of selecting a maths student is 3 / 5

Number of students that are statistics majors = 2

Probability of selecting a statistics student is 2 / 5

a) the probability that both selected students are statistics majors

= 2 / 5 × 1 / 4 = 2 / 20 = 1 / 10

b) the probability that both students are math majors

= 3 / 5 × 2 / 4 = 6 / 20 = 3 / 10

c) the probability that at least one of the students selected is a statistics major will be p( one statistics and the other, maths) + p( one maths and the other, statistic) - p( both are mathematics)

= (2 / 5 × 1 / 4 ) + ( 2 / 5 × 3 / 4 ) - (3 / 5 × 2 / 4)

= 2 / 10 + 6 / 20 - 6 / 20

= 1 / 5 + 3 / 10 - 3 / 10

= 1 / 5

d) the probability that the selected students have different majors is p(one is maths and the other is statistics) + p(one is statistics and the other is maths)

(3 / 5 × 2 / 4) + (2 /5 × 3 / 4)

= 6 / 20 + 6 / 20 = 12 / 20

= 3 / 5

fredd [130]
<span> the probability that she rolls an odd number AND and pulls a red chip

so it is = Prob(odd no) * Prob(red chip)

Prob(odd no) for a fair die = 1/2

Prob(red chip) = red chip / total chip = 2/(2+1) = 2/3

so the ans is 1/2 * 2/3 = 1/3

A psychologist is collecting data on the time it takes to learn a certain task. For 50 randomly selected adult subjects, the sam
tatuchka [14]

Answer: (15.263,\ 17.537)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information, we have

Sample size : n= 50

\overline{x}=16.40

s=4.00

Since population standard deviation is unknown, so we use t-test.

Critical value for  95 percent confidence interval  :

t_{n-1,\alpha/2}=t_{49, 0.025}= 2.009575\approx2.010

Confidence interval : \overline{x}\pm t_{n-1, \alpha/2}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

16.40\pm (2.010)\dfrac{4}{\sqrt{50}}\\\\=16.40\pm1.13702770415\\\\=16.40\pm1.1370\\\\=(16.40-1.1370,\ 16.40+1.1370)\\\\=(15.263,\ 17.537)

Required 95% confidence interval :  (15.263,\ 17.537)

Which measure is the largest? 1.2 km, 120,600 cm, 1,220,000 mm, 120 meters
aalyn [17]
The answer would be 1,220,000mm.

You can do this if you convert all the measures into one unit. Let us convert all into km. 

The first one is already in km, so we do not need to covert it. 

Let's start with converting 1,220,000mm to km. 


There are 1, 000,000 mm in one km. 

1,220,000X \frac{1km}{1,000,000mm} = 1.22km

So there are 1.22km 
in 1,220,000mm.

Next, we have 120m. There are 1,000m in 1km.

120mX \frac{1km}{1,000} =0.12km

There are 0.12km in 120m

Now you can see that 1,220,000mm is the longest.

What is the following quotient? sqrt 6 + sqrt 11 / sqrt 5 +sqrt 3
just olya [345]

Answer:

\frac{\sqrt6 +\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{30} - \sqrt{18} + \sqrt{55} - \sqrt{33}}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's translate what you've written in words to an expression with mathematical symbols.

\frac{\sqrt6 +\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}}

To solve this, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator with the conjugate of the denominator.

\frac{\sqrt6 +\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5} - \sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{30} - \sqrt{18} + \sqrt{55} - \sqrt{33}}{2}
