A computer retail store has 10 similar personal computers in stock. A university buyer plans to purchase 6 of them. Unknown to either buyer or seller, 2 of the computers in stock have defective disk drives. The 6 computers are selected at random without replacement from the 10 available. a. How many different ways can a sample of 6 computers be selected which contain exactly 1 defective disk? b. What is the probability that none of the computers selected will have a defective disk drive if a sample of 6 were selected? Round to 2 decimal places.

Consider an experiment in which someone flips a fair coin. If the coin lands heads-up, then a 6-sided die is rolled and the the number that is rolled is recorded. If the coin lands tails-up, then the die is not rolled and the experiment ends. Write down the sample space for this experiment. What is the probability that a “5" is rolled during the experiment?
5. In a group of students, there are 3 girls (Amy, Asha, and Barb) and 3 boys (Len, Moe, and Max). a. Draw a tree diagram for selecting 1 boy and 1 girl from the group. b. From the tree diagram, list the sample space. How many possible outcomes are there? c. Using this sample space, find the probability that: (1) the girl's name begins with A (2) the boy's name begins with M (3) the girl's name begins with C (4) the boy's name does not begin with M (5) the girl's name begins with B and the boy's name begins with M (6) the girl's name begins with C and the boy's name begins with L
A box contains 5 balls of which 2 are red and 3 are white. Two balls are to be selected from the box. What is the expected number of red balls among the selected balls? Select one: O a. O b. 0.8 O C. 0.4 O d. 1.2
How many permutations of three items can be selected from a group of six? Use the letters A, B, C, D, E, and F to identify the items, and list each of the permutations of items B, D, and F. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. Enter three unspaced capital letters for each permutation.) Simple random sampling uses a sample of size n from a population of size N to obtain data that can be used to make inferences about the characteristics of a population. Suppose that, from a population of 54 bank accounts, we want to take a random sample of four accounts in order to learn about the population. How many different random samples of four accounts are possible?
Many manufacturers have quality control programs that include inspection of incoming materials for defects. Suppose a computer manufacturer receives computer boards in lots of five. Three boards are selected from each lot randomly for inspection. If we number the boards 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, a possible random selection is (2, 4, 5). a. List the ten different possible selections. b. Suppose that the boards 1 and 4 are the only defective boards in a lot of five. Three boards are to be chosen at random. Define X as the number of defective boards observed among those inspected. Find the probability distribution (pmf) of X.
A small community college employs 128 full-time faculty members. To gain the faculty's opinions about upcoming contract negotiations, the president of the faculty union wishes to obtain a simple random sample that will consist of 5 faculty members. She numbers the faculty 1 to 128. Use StatCrunch with a single fixed seed of 45 to obtain a simple random sample of 5 faculty members. Write the numbers corresponding to the members below. ... First faculty member: Second faculty member: Third faculty member: Fourth faculty member: Fifth faculty member:
Consider an experiment of choosing 3 balls (without replacement) from an urn containing 5 red and 7 white balls. a. What is the probability that 2 of the chosen balls are red? b.
