A friend of mine is giving a dinner party. His current wine supply includes 8 bottles of zinfandel, \({\rm{10}}\) of merlot, and \({\rm{12}}\) of cabernet (he only drinks red wine), all from different wineries.

a. If he wants to serve \({\rm{3}}\) bottles of zinfandel and serving order is important, how many ways are there to do this?

b. If \({\rm{6}}\) bottles of wine are to be randomly selected from the \({\rm{30}}\) for serving, how many ways are there to do this?

c. If \({\rm{6}}\) bottles are randomly selected, how many ways are there to obtain two bottles of each variety?

d. If \({\rm{6}}\) bottles are randomly selected, what is the probability that this results in two bottles of each variety being chosen?

e. If \({\rm{6}}\) bottles are randomly selected, what is the probability that all of them are the same variety?

Step by step solution

01

describing the factorial method use to explanation

There are 30 bottles of wine in all, with 8 bottles of zinfandel, 10 bottles of merlot, and 12 bottles of cabernet. Note: For factorial, we use the idea "! \({\rm{n! = n}}\)\({\rm{(n - 1)* \ldots *2*1}}\)

02

If he wants to serve \({\rm{3}}\) bottles of zinfandel and serving order is important 

A permutation is a subset that is ordered. The number of permutations of size \({\rm{k}}\)for \({\rm{n}}\) persons in a group is represented as \({{\rm{P}}_{{\rm{k,n}}}}\).The proposal is this:

\({{\rm{P}}_{{\rm{k,n}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{n!}}}}{{{\rm{(n - k)!}}}}\)

We utilize permutations because the order is critical. There are \({\rm{n = 8}}\)bottles of zinfandel in this case, and we wish to serve \({\rm{k = 3}}\)bottles, thus there are

\(\begin{aligned} {{P}_{k,n}}&={{P}_{3,8}}=\frac{8!}{(8-3)!}=\frac{8!}{5!}=\frac{8*7*6*5!}{5!} \\&=8*7*6=336 \\\end{aligned}\)

03

If \({\rm{6}}\) bottles of wine are to be randomly selected from the \({\rm{30}}\) for serving, how many ways are there to do this

-Because order is irrelevant in this case, we employ combinations.

An unordered subset is referred to as a combination. The number of combinations of size \({\rm{k}}\) for \({\rm{n}}\)persons in a group is indicated as \({{\rm{C}}_{{\rm{k,n}}}}\)

\(\left( {\begin{aligned}{\rm{n}}\\{\rm{k}}\end{aligned}} \right)\)

which we interpret as \({\rm{k}}\)is chosen from \({\rm{n}}\)items. The proposal is this:

\({{\rm{C}}_{{\rm{k,n}}}}{\rm{ = }}\left( {\begin{aligned}{\rm{n}}\\{\rm{k}}\end{aligned}} \right){\rm{ = }}\frac{{{{\rm{P}}_{{\rm{k,n}}}}}}{{{\rm{k!}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{n!}}}}{{{\rm{k!(n - k)!}}}}\)

When \({\rm{n = 30}}\)and \({\rm{k = 6}}\)are used, we get

\({{\rm{C}}_{{\rm{k,n}}}}{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{C}}_{{\rm{6,30}}}}{\rm{ = }}\left( {\begin{aligned}{{\rm{30}}}\\{\rm{6}}\end{aligned}} \right){\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{30!}}}}{{{\rm{6!(30 - 6)!}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{30!}}}}{{{\rm{6!24!}}}}{\rm{ = 593775}}\)

04

If \(\left( {\rm{b}} \right){\rm{.}}\) bottles are randomly selected, collected ways are there to obtain two bottles of each variety

There must be two of each of the six bottles chosen. We'd want to use:

For k-Tuples, there is a Product Rule.

Assume that there are \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{1}}}\)methods to pick the first element of an ordered pair, and that there are \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{2}}}\)ways to select the second member for each selected element. The number of pairings is \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{n}}_{\rm{2}}}\)in this case.

Similarly, there are \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{n}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{* \ldots *}}{{\rm{n}}_{\rm{k}}}\)potential \({\rm{k}}\)-tuples given an ordered collection of \({\rm{k}}\)elements, where the \({{\rm{k}}^{{\rm{th}}}}\)can be selected in \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{k}}}\)ways.

Where \({n_1}\)represents the number of elements from which we can choose two bottles out of eight for the first element in the ordered group, \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{2}}}\)represents the number of elements from which we can choose two bottles out of ten for the second element in the ordered group, and \({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{3}}}\)represents the number of elements from which we can choose two bottles out of twelve for the third element in the ordered group. We utilize combinations because we don't care which two bottles we take (unordered). Therefore

\(\begin{aligned}{{n}_{1}}&={{C}_{2,8}}=\left( \begin{aligned}8 \\2 \\\end{aligned} \right)=\frac{8!}{2!(8-2)!}=\frac{8!}{2!6!}=\frac{40320}{1440}=28 \\{{n}_{2}}&={{C}_{2,10}}=\left( \begin{aligned}10 \\2 \\\end{aligned} \right)=\frac{10!}{10!(10-2)!}=\frac{10!}{2!8!}=\frac{3628800}{80640}=45 \\{{n}_{3}}&={{C}_{2,12}}=\left( \begin{aligned}12 \\2 \\\end{aligned} \right)=\frac{12!}{12!(12-2)!}=\frac{12!}{2!10!}=\frac{479001600}{7257600}=66 \\\end{aligned}\)

We now have the final findings as a result of this.

\({{\rm{n}}_{\rm{1}}}{{\rm{n}}_{\rm{2}}}{{\rm{n}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{ = 28*45*66 = 83160}}\)

05

If \({\rm{6}}\) bottles are randomly selected, the probability that this results in two bottles of each variety being chosen are

There's a good chance that two bottles of each flavor will be picked from the six bottles available.

\({\rm{P(D) = }}\frac{{{\rm{83160}}}}{{{\rm{593775}}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.14}}\)

Where we used,

\({\rm{P(A) = }}\frac{{{\rm{\# \;favorable outcomes in\;A}}}}{{{\rm{\# \;outcomes in the sample space\;}}}}\)

\(\left( {\rm{c}} \right)\)gives us the number of positive outcomes in A, and \(\left( {\rm{d}} \right)\)gives us the number of outcomes in the sample space \(\left( {\rm{b}} \right){\rm{.}}\)

06

If \({\rm{6}}\) bottles are randomly selected, the probability that all of them are the same variety are as

We want to use

\({\rm{P(A) = }}\frac{{{\rm{\# \;favorable outcomes in\;A}}}}{{{\rm{\# \;outcomes in the sample space\;}}}}\)

favorable outcomes in the sample space \({\rm{A}}\) ,event that all vines are the same

\(\begin{aligned}{{\rm{P(\{ \;All vines bottles are same\;\} ) = P(\{ \;All are zindfandel\;\} ) + P(\{ \;All are merlot\;\} )}}}\\{{\rm{ + P(\{ \;All are cabernet\;\} )}}}\end{aligned}\)

\({\rm{ + P(\{ }}\)They're all cabernet \({\rm{\} )}}\)

\(\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(1)}}} \left( {\begin{aligned}{\rm{8}}\\{\rm{6}}\end{aligned}} \right){\rm{ + }}\left( {\begin{aligned}{{\rm{10}}}\\{\rm{6}}\end{aligned}} \right){\rm{ + }}\left( {\begin{aligned}{{\rm{12}}}\\{\rm{6}}\end{aligned}} \right)\)

\({\rm{ = 28 + 210 + 924 = 1162}}\)

As previously stated, we employ combinations.

As a result, the outcomes in the sample space are presented in \({\rm{(b)}}\)

\({\rm{P(E) = }}\frac{{{\rm{1162}}}}{{{\rm{593775}}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.002}}\)

In five-card poker, a straight consists of five cards with adjacent denominations (e.g., \({\rm{9}}\)of clubs, \({\rm{10}}\)of hearts, jack of hearts, queen of spades, and king of clubs). Assuming that aces can be high or low, if you are dealt a five-card hand, what is the probability that it will be a straight with high card \({\rm{10}}\)? What is the probability that it will be a straight? What is the probability that it will be a straight flush (all cards in the same suit)?

As of April 2006, roughly 50 million .com web domain names were registered (e.g., yahoo.com).

a. How many domain names consisting of just two letters in sequence can be formed? How many domain names of length two are there if digits as well as letters are permitted as characters? (Note: A character length of three or more is now mandated.)

b. How many domain names are there consisting of three letters in sequence? How many of this length are there if either letters or digits are permitted? (Note: All are currently taken.)

c. Answer the questions posed in (b) for four-character sequences.

d. As of April 2006, 97,786 of the four-character se - quences using either letters or digits had not yet been claimed. If a four-character name is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is already owned?

b. What is the probability that the next customer fills the tank?

c. If the next customer fills the tank, what is the probability that regular gas is requested? Plus? Premium?

An electronics store is offering a special price on a complete set of components (receiver, compact disc player, speakers, turntable). A purchaser is offered a choice of manufacturer for each component:

A switchboard display in the store allows a customer to hook together any selection of components (consisting of one of each type). Use the product rules to answer the following questions:

a. In how many ways can one component of each type be selected?

b. In how many ways can components be selected if both the receiver and the compact disc player are to be Sony?

c. In how many ways can components be selected if none is to be Sony?

d. In how many ways can a selection be made if at least one Sony component is to be included?

e. If someone flips switches on the selection in a completely random fashion, what is the probability that the system selected contains at least one Sony component? Exactly one Sony component?
