A total of 8 popular brands of cola are to be used in a blind taste study for consumer recognition.(a) If 5 distinct brands are chosen at random from the 8 and if a consumer is not allowed to repeat any answers, what is the probability that all 5 brands1could be identified by just guessing? 56(b) If repeats are allowed in the 5 brands chosen at random from the 8, and if a consumer is allowed to repeat answers, what is the probability that all 5brands are identified correctly just by guessing? 1C(10,3) may be written to express 10 choose 3, and P(10,3) may be written to express 10 permute 3.

The total number of brands is 8. The number of brands chosen randomly is 5.

Answered: A total of 8 popular brands of cola are…

Among all cars in a junkyard, 10% of them lasted for more than 15 years. If you randomly choose 15 cars from this junkyard, what is the chance that at least two of them aged over 15 years? Continue from part (a), how many of cars (out of 15) do you expect to have that are older than 15 years? Now if you keep on selecting cars, one at a time until you find 3 cars aged 15 or older, what is the chance that you need to select exactly 5 cars?

A box contains 40 batteries, 5 of which have low lifetimes, 30 of which have average lifetimes, and 5 of which have high lifetimes. A consumer requires 8 batteries to run an appliance and randomly selects them all from the box. What is the probability that among the 8 batteries fitted into the consumer's appliance, there are exactly 2 low, 4 average and 2 high lifetimes batteries?
I choose a random sample of 5 of 20 sofas and I find that all of them are more than $400. If only 10 of these sofas were supposed to be more than $400, what is the probability I would get 5 costing more than $400 in my sample of 5? What would that probability be if 11 of the sofas cost more than $400? Or 12 sofas costing more than $400?
