To calculate: The value of probability
Answer to Problem 32E
The value of probability
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
There are 6 fish in an aquarium namely a trout, a bass, a perch, a catfish, a walleye and a salmon and three fish at random are drawn.
Formula used:
Probability of an event Eis
Given an event Q , the conditional probability of event A is
Calculation:
Consider the provided information thatthere are 6 fish in an aquarium namely a trout, a bass, a perch, a catfish, a walleye and a salmon and three fish at random are drawn.
The probability of
Let A be an event that removed fish is perch and troutandB be an event that removed fish is neither bass nor walleye.
Use combination to evaluate the probability, recall that if there are n objects taken r at a time then combination is defined as
Recall that probability of an event Eis
Probability that removed fish is neither bass nor walleye,
Probability that removed fish is perch and trout and neither bass nor walleye,
Recall that given an event Q , the conditional probability of event A is
The probability of
Thus, the value of probability
