(a)
Answer to Problem 41E
The probability that Carl can solve all
Explanation of Solution
Given:
There 20 study problems.
Calculation:
The order is important here, there are
The probability that Carl can solve all 10 problems is as follows.
Therefore, the probability that Carl can solve all
(b)
To find: The odds that Carl will know to solve 8 of the problems.
(b)
Answer to Problem 41E
The odds that Carl will know to solve 8 of the problems is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
There 20 study problems.
Calculation:
Let
Carl will know how to solve 8 of the problems determine the probability of success of event
Order is not important in this case.
There are
Find the probability of remaining problem.
Determine the probability of failure of event
Find the odds as follows.
Therefore, the odds that Carl will know to solve 8 of the problems is
