answer to 4 decimal places, if necessary.
Answer

0.0677 = 6.77% probability that they will all be nonfiction

Step-by-step explanation:

The books are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

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

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

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

In this question:

10 + 12 = 22 books.

She chooses 4 books, which means that

12 nonfiction, which meas that

What’s the probability that they will all be nonfiction?

This is P(X = 4). So

0.0677 = 6.77% probability that they will all be nonfiction
