Answer:
0.2143 probability that all of them practice satirical.
Step-by-step explanation:
The comedians are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
In which:
x is the number of sucesses.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
Combinations formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
In this question:
8 comedians means that [tex]N = 8[/tex]
6 practice satirical means that [tex]k = 6[/tex]
Sample of 4 means that [tex]n = 4[/tex]
What is the probability that all of them practice satirical?
This is P(X = 4). So
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 4) = h(4,8,4,6) = \frac{C_{6,4}*C_{2,0}}{C_{8,4}} = 0.2143[/tex]
0.2143 probability that all of them practice satirical.
