In a small private school, 5 students are randomly selected from 17 available students. What is the probability that they are the five youngest students?
The probability is ?
(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
Homework Answers
Number of ways 5 students can be selected out of 17
= 17C5
= 17! / (5! * 12!)
= 6188
Hence,
P(Five youngest students selected) = 1/6188

Students at a local middle school were randomly selected to participate in a reading comprehension program. The program is designed to increase their reading comprehension. A total of 21 students each took a pretest before the program and posttest after the program. The mean differences in the posttest and pretest is 24. The administration decided that all students in the school would participate in the program next school year. Let µA denote the mean score of the posttest and µB...

(04.05) Exactly 20% of the students in a school wear glasses. Sixty-five students are selected randomly to determine the probability that exactly 10 students wear glasses. Should a binomial probability density function or a cumulative distribution function be used? Explain. (4 points) a A binomial cumulative distribution function should be used because the question asks for determining the probability that exactly 10 students wear glasses. b A binomial probability density function should be used because the question asks for determining...
