If 5 out of 10 students are freshmen and 6 students are randomly selected, write the law of distribution of the number of freshmen among these 6 students.

Question

help me to solve this

Answer 1

If 5 out of 10 students are freshmen in the population of students, then the probability p of a student being a freshman=½, which is the same probability of the student not being a freshman.

(½+½)⁶=(½)⁶(1+6+15+20+15+6+1) is a binomial expansion which determines the individual probabilities of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 students in a random sample of 6 students. For example, the probability of 2 out of 6 being freshmen is the third term in the series, which is 15/64 (because 2⁶=64).

So if s represents the number of students, where 0≤s≤6, then:

p(s)=⁶C_s/64 or 6!/(s!(6-s!))/64=(45/4)/(s!(6-s!)) is the probability distribution formula.
