Suppose you just purchased a digital music player and have put 12 tracks on it. After listening to them you decide that you like 2 of the songs. With the random feature on your player, each of the 12 songs is played once in random order. Find the probability that among the first two songs played (a) You like both of them. Would this be unusual? (b) You like neither of them. (c) You like exactly one of them. (d) Redo (a)-(c) if a song can be replayed before all 12 songs are played.

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

Number of songs you like = 2

Total number of songs = 12

a) P(you like both of them) = 2/12 x 1/11 = 0.015

This is unusual because the probability of the event is less than 0.05

b) P(you like neither of them) = 10/12 x 9/11  = 0.68

c) P(you like exactly one of them) = 2 x 2/12 x 10/11 = 0.30

d) If  a song can be replayed before all 12,

P(you like both of them) = 2/12 x 2/12  =0.027

This is unusual because the probability of the event is less than 0.05

P(you like neither of them) = 9/12 x 9/12  = 0.5625

P(you like exactly one of them) = 2 x 2/12 x 9/12 = 0.25

the answer would be 1 1/72

step-by-step explanation:

you can rewrite the equation by separating the parts and then solving individually:

10-9=1

1/8 - 1/9=

find l c d and then combine:

1 1/72

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
