Agroup of students consists of five people in all; two women and three men. they agree to take turns taking notes in lecture. one person at a time will be selected at random from the group (without replacement) until everyone has had a turn. the expected value of the number of people selected before and including the first time a woman has a turn is .

The expected value of the number of people selected before and including the first time a woman has a turn is 2 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value is calculated as:

E(X)=X1*P(X1) + X2*P(X2) + X3*P(X3) + X4*P(X4)

Where X1, X2, X3 and X4 are the events in which a women is selected for the first time in the first, second, third and fourth turn respectively. Additionally, P(X1), P(X2), P(X3) and  P(X4) are their respective probabilities.

P(X1) is calculate as:

The total ways that the 5 students can be organized is given by a rule of multiplication in which we have 5 options for the first turn, 4 options for the second turn, 3 options for the third turn, 2 options for the fourth turn and 1 option for the fifth turn. So it is:

__5_ * _4_ *  3      * 2      *   1     =   120

1st         2nd    3rd      4th       5th

At the same way we can calculate the total of ways in which the first student selected is a women: we have 2 women for the first turn, 4 people, one woman and 3 men for second turn, 3  options for the third turn, 2 options for the fourth turn and 1 option for the fifth turn. So it is:

__2_ * _4_ *  3      * 2      *   1     =   48

1st         2nd    3rd      4th       5th

Then the probability P(X1) is:

At the same way we can calculate the other probabilities:

Then, replacing values on the expected value we get:

E(X)=(1*0.4)+(2*0.3)+(3*0.2)+(4*0.1)=2

Finally, the expected value of the number of people selected before and including the first time a woman has a turn is 2 people.

the answer is d

step-by-step explanation:

y+3=-4(x-2)

y+3=-4x+8

  -3         -3  

y=-4x+5

sorry
