An instructor who taught two sections of engineering probability last term, the first with 20 students and thesecond with 30, decided to assign a term project. After all projects had been turned in, the instructor randomlyordered them before grading. Consider the first 15 graded projects. What is the probability that exactly 10 ofthese are from the second section

0.207

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an hypergeometric distribution problem

An hypergeometric distribution has the same sense as the discrete probabilities of binomial distribution, but unlike binomial distribution, hypergeometric distribution does not allow replacement.

Binomial distribution expresses the probability of picking k objects from n with replacement, but hypergeometric distribution expresses picking k objects from n without replacement, with the finite total population, N, containing K objects.

It is expressed mathematically as

h(k: n, K, N) = (ᴷCₖ)(ᴺ⁻ᴷCₙ₋ₖ)/(ᴺCₙ)

where

k = number of students in the 2nd section required to be in the first 15 graded projects (number of successes) = 10

n = total number of first graded projects (number of trials) = 15

K = number of students in the 2nd section of the class = 30

N = total number of students = 50

h(10: 15, 30, 50) = (³⁰C₁₀)(⁵⁰⁻³⁰C₁₅₋₁₀)/(⁵⁰C₁₅)

h(10: 15, 30, 50) = (³⁰C₁₀)(²⁰C₅)/(⁵⁰C₁₅)

= (30,045,015)(15,504)/(2,250,829,575,120)

P(X = 10) = 0.207
