A technician is launching fireworks near the end of a show. Of the 14 remaining fireworks, nineare blue and five are red. If she launches six of them in a random order, what is the probability that exactly 4 of them are blue ones?

Respuesta :

Answer:

(6 choose 4) * (9/14 * 8/13 * 7/12 * 6/11) * (5/10 * 4/9) = 60/143 = 0.4196

Answer: 0.3268

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of fireworks are blue = 9

Total remaining = 14

Probability of choosing blue ones[tex]=\dfrac{9}{14}[/tex]

Using binomial probability formula ,

[tex]P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex], where p is the probability of success in each trial, n is sample size.

If she launches six of them in a random order then n=6.

The probability that exactly 4 of them are blue ones will be :-

[tex]P(x)=^6C_4(\dfrac{9}{14})^4(1-\dfrac{9}{14})^{2}\\\\=\dfrac{6!}{2!4!}(\dfrac{9}{14})^4(\dfrac{5}{14})^{2}\\\\=\dfrac{2460375}{7529536}=0.326763163095\approx0.3268[/tex]

Hence, the required probability = 0.3268
