A geologist has collected 10 specimens of basaltic rock and 10 specimens of granite. The geologist instructs a laboratory assistant to randomly select 15 of the speci- mens for analysis. a. What is the pmf of the number of granite specimens selected for analysis

Thus, the pmf of the number of granite specimens selected for analysis is .

Step-by-step explanation:

The experiment consists of collecting rocks.

The sample consisted of, 10 specimens of basaltic rock and 10 specimens of granite.

The total sample is of size, n = 20.

Let the random variable X be defined as the number of granite specimen selected.

The probability of selecting a granite specimen is:

A randomly selected rock can either be basaltic or granite, independently.

The success is defined as the selection of granite rock.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameter n = 20 and p = 0.50.

The probability mass function of X is:

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer

y=x+9
