3 partsStep-by-step solution
9 stepsHere's the solution for question 12 using the combination method.
Given:
Total number of people examined = 8
Number of people with skin rashes = 5
Number of people without skin rashes =
Number of people selected randomly = 5
The total number of ways to select 5 people from 8 is given by .
Part a· 3 steps
Exactly 3 had skin rashes.
Determine the number of ways to select exactly 3 people with skin rashes.
This means selecting 3 people from the 5 with rashes AND people from the 3 without rashes.
Number of ways to select 3 with rashes:
Number of ways to select 2 without rashes:
The number of favorable ways is the product of these combinations:Calculate the probability.
Convert the probability to three decimal places.
Part b0.000
None had skin rashes.
Determine the number of ways to select none with skin rashes.
This means selecting 0 people from the 5 with rashes AND people from the 3 without rashes.
Number of ways to select 0 with rashes:
Number of ways to select 5 without rashes: (It is impossible to choose 5 people from a group of 3).
The number of favorable ways is the product of these combinations:Calculate the probability.
Convert the probability to three decimal places.
Part c0.179
At most 2 had skin rashes.
Determine the number of ways to select at most 2 people with skin rashes.
This means the number of people with rashes can be 0, 1, or 2.
- Case 1: 0 rashes (and 5 without rashes) Favorable ways =
- Case 2: 1 rash (and 4 without rashes) Number of ways to select 1 with rashes: Number of ways to select 4 without rashes: Favorable ways =
- Case 3: 2 rashes (and 3 without rashes) Number of ways to select 2 with rashes: Number of ways to select 3 without rashes: Favorable ways = The total number of favorable ways for "at most 2 rashes" is the sum of these cases:
Calculate the probability.
Convert the probability to three decimal places.
