a shipment of 15 televisions contains 6 regular and 9 deluxe models. the manufacturer failed to mark the model designation on the cartons. if 3 cartons are selected at random, what is the probability that exactly 2 of them are the deluxe model? (round your answer to three decimal places.)

Respuesta :

The probability that exactly 2 of them are the deluxe model =0.474

given that

there is a shipment of 15 televisions contains 6 regular and 9 deluxe models

now 3 cartons are selected at random

C(15,3) =[tex]\frac{15!}{(15-3)!3!}[/tex]

C(15,3) = [tex]\frac{13*14*15}{3*2*1}[/tex]

C(15,3) = 455

2 out of 9 deluxe models be picked

C(9,2) = [tex]\frac{9!}{(9-2)!2!}[/tex]

C(9,2) = [tex]\frac{8*9}{2*1}[/tex]

C(9,2) = 36

Each of these can be matched with 1 of 6 regular models

36 × 6 = 216

the probability that exactly 2 of them are the deluxe model

= [tex]\frac{216}{455}[/tex]

=0.474
