The grade appeal process at a university requires that a jury be structured by selecting four individuals randomly from a pool of thirteen students and six faculty.​ (a) What is the probability of selecting a jury of all​ students? (b) What is the probability of selecting a jury of all​ faculty? (c) What is the probability of selecting a jury of two students and two ​faculty?

Respuesta :

Answer with explanation:

Given : Number of individual needed to be selected to form jury = 4

Number of students = 13

Number of faculty members = 6

Total = 13+6=19

Using combinations , the number of combinations of choosing jury of 4 individuals

= [tex]^{19}C_{4}=\dfrac{19!}{4!(19-4)!}\\\\=\dfrac{19\times18\times17\times16\times15!}{4!15!}=3876[/tex]

a)  Number of ways of selecting jury of all students

= [tex]^{13}C_{4}=\dfrac{13!}{4!(13-4)!}\\\\=\dfrac{13\times12\times11\times10\times9!}{4!9!}=715[/tex]

The probability of selecting a jury of all​ faculty=[tex]\dfrac{715}{3876}=0.1845[/tex]

b) The number of ways of selecting jury of all faculty=[tex]^{6}C_{4}=\dfrac{6!}{4!(6-4)!}=15[/tex]

The probability of selecting a jury of all​ faculty=[tex]\dfrac{15}{3876}=0.0039[/tex]

c) The number of ways of selecting jury of 2 students and two ​faculty:

[tex]^{13}C_{2}\times ^{6}C_2\\\\=\dfrac{13!}{2!(13-2)!}\times\dfrac{6!}{2!(6-2)!}\\\\=1170[/tex]

Now, the probability of selecting a jury of six students and two two ​faculty

[tex]\dfrac{1170}{3876}=0.3019[/tex]
