STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY QUESTION:
a)
number of ways =9C4 =126
b)
P(three are desktops)=5C3*4C1/9C4 = 0.3175
option C
c)P(at least 3) =P(X=3)+P(X=4)=5C3*4C1/9C4 +5C44C0/9C4 =0.3571
option E

3)/n a computer store, 30% of the computers in stock are laptops and 70% are desktops. Five percent of the laptops are on sale, while 10% of the desktops are on sale. a) Define b) Use EITHER a tree diagram or a hypothetical two-way table to represent this situation. Calculate the probability of that a randomly selected computer will be a desktop, given that the computeris on sale. Use proper notation for it. c) d) Explain what that probability means
Note: Please explain thoroughly. Thank you. Question Suppose that 60% of all computers sold at an electronic store are laptops and 40% are desktops. The type of computer purchased by each of the next 12 customers will be noted; assume customers are independent. Define the random variable X = number of computers among these 12 that are laptops. a. What specific distribution does X have? With what parameters? b. What is the mean of X? c. What is the standard...

In a hybrid truss structure, made of steel and wood elements, we want to check their stress state. Elements can be either in compression or in tension. By observing the truss, one finds that: • 65% of the elements are in compression. • 30% of the elements in compression are in steel. • 60% of the elements in tension are in steel....
