1. The Taipei City Council has 11 members: 6 males, 5 females. They wish to form a committee of 5.

(a) (2 pts) How many ways can the city council form the committee?

(b) (12 pts) Complete the probability distribution below:

Number of Females x Probability of Number of Females P(x) 0 1 2 3 4 5 3

Number of females

x

Probability of Number of Females

P(x)

3
4
5

(c) (5 pts) Find the probability of having all females in the committee of the Taipei City Council. What can we conclude about the committee of the Taipei City Council of having all females? Explain why?

(d) (5 pts) Find the probability of having at least 3 females in the committee of the Taipei City Council.

(e) (7 pts) Find the probability of having at most 4 males in the committee of the Taipei City Council.

(f) (2 pts) Find μ for the number of females, round your answer to 3 decimals if possible.

(g) (2 pts) Find σ for the number of females, round your answer to 3 decimals if possible.

Answer #1

There is a very low probability of having all females.

e)P(atmost 4 males)=P(Atleast 1female)=1-P(no female)=1-0.01299=0.98701

    (1 point) Rework problem 22 from section 2.4 of your text, involving the assignment of tasks to student union board members. Assume that there are 16 board members: 12 females, and 4 males including Carl. There are 3 tasks to be assigned. Note that assigning the same people different tasks constitutes a different assignment. (1) Find the probability that both males and females are given a task. (2) Find the probability that Carl and at least one female are given...

    A city council is deciding whether or not to spend additional money to reduce the amount of traffic. The council decides that it will increase the transportation budget if the amount of waiting time for drivers exceeds 20 minutes. A sample of 32 main roads results in a mean waiting time of 2208 minutes with a standard deviation of 5.42 minutes. Conduct a hypothesis test at the T%evel of ignificance to determine whether or not the city should increase its...

    Having trouble with these two problems 3. Suppose a Coed basketball team consists of 7 females and 8 males. Suppose a starting line-up of five players is randomly selected (each possible starting line-up is equally likely). What is the exact probability that the chosen starting line-up contains at least one male? A bar is trying to get a feel for the number of drinks that a person will order. Let the random variable X denote the number of drinks a...

    Assume 11 males audition, one of them being Winston, 5 females audition, one of them being Margaret, and 4 children audition. The casting director has 3 male roles available, 1 female role available, and 2 child roles available. How many different ways can these roles be filled if exactly one of Winston and Margaret gets a part? What is the probability (if the roles are filled at random) of both Winston and Margaret getting a part?
