APU MATH302 WEEK 4 DISCUSSION FORUM 2015

WEEK 4
Suppose
that a class contains 15 boys and 30 girls, and that 10 students are to
be selected at random for a special assignment. Find the probability
that exactly 3 boys will be selected.

Keep
in mind that your post must be made by 11:55PM EASTERN time on Wednesday
during the week in which a discussion question is posed. I will
evaluate your responses to each of these questions using a 0 to 10 point
scale, and your contribution to each of the five Discussion Forums will
count as 2 percent of the overall course grade for a total of 10
percent.

My
evaluation of your post will be based on the extent to which you
participated and fostered a positive and effective learning
environment–for yourself and others. Participating and sharing are the
keys. Naturally, simply copying someone else’s post is prohibited.
Your post should reflect your understanding of the question posed. In
addition to the computations you employed to arrive at your response,
your post must contain comments regarding the rationale for the approach
you utilized. Simply listing an answer is of no real value in
promoting a discussion.

last name; compose your post in the message box; and then click Post
Message.
