Chapter 4: Q. 4.22 (page 264)

A bag contains letter tiles. Forty-four of the tiles are vowels, and 56 are consonants. Seven tiles are picked at random. You want to know the probability that four of the seven tiles are vowels. What is the group of interest, the size of the group of interest, and the size of the sample?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that four of the seven tiles are vowels is0.2351

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

We are given,

A bag contains letter tiles.

44of the tiles are vowels, and 56are consonants.

7 tiles are picked at random.

02

Content Explanation

Let X the number of vowels in the 7letter tiles, the number of vowels are the groups of interest and the sample size X takes the values 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Here, X follows a hypergeometric distribution with K=44boys in population, N=100.

where k=4successes from the sample size n=7

The probability mass function of hypergeometric distribution of X is:

P(X=k)=(Ckk)(Cn-kn-k)CnnP(X=4)=(C444)(C7-4100-44)C7100=0.2351

Use the following information to answer the next six exercises: The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA collected data from 203,967 incoming first-time, full-time freshmen from 270 four-year colleges and universities in the U.S. 71.3% of those students replied that, yes, they believe that same-sex couples should have the right to legal marital status. Suppose that you randomly select freshman from the study until you find one who replies 鈥測es.鈥� You are interested in the number of freshmen you must ask.

On average (渭), how many freshmen would you expect to have to ask until you found one who replies "yes?"
