Nick buys 25 bananas at Alexa's Banana Emporium (ABE) and 30 bananas at Shelly's Fruit Market (SFM). Nick chooses, uniformly at random, a 15-element subset of these bananas. Define the event
Nick buys 25 bananas at Alexa's Banana Emporium (ABE) and 30 bananas at Shelly's Fruit Market (SFM). Nick chooses, uniformly at random, a 15-element subset of these bananas. Define the event
- A = "the subset chosen by Nick contains exactly 7 bananas from ABE".
(a)
$\frac{{25 \choose 7} + {30 \choose 8}}{55 \choose 15}$
(b)
$\frac{{25 \choose 8} \cdot {30 \choose 7}}{55 \choose 15}$
(c)
$\frac{{25 \choose 8} + {30 \choose 7}}{55 \choose 15}$
(d)
$\frac{{25 \choose 7} \cdot {30 \choose 8}}{55 \choose 15}$
