0.1150 = 11.50% probability that the sample does not contain any fibers of polymer B

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

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:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

Fibers are chosen without replacement, which means that we use the hypergeometric distribution.

92 fibers means that N = 92

Sample of 10 means that n = 10

No polymeter B which means that x = 0

17 fibers of polymeter B which means that k = 17

a. What is the probability that the sample does not contain any fibers of polymer B

This is P(X = 0).

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 0) = h(0,92,10,17) = \frac{C_{17,0}*C_{75,10}}{C_{92,10}} = 0.1150$

0.1150 = 11.50% probability that the sample does not contain any fibers of polymer B
