A student studying for a vocabulary test knows the meanings of 16 words from a list of 26 words. If the test contains 10 words from the study list, what is the probability that at least 8 of the words on the test are words that the student knows? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Respuesta :

To get the probability that at least 8 of the words on the test are words that students know we need to do the following calculations.

=[C(16,8)*C(10,2) + C(16,9)*C(10,1) + C(16,10)*C(10,0)] / C(26,10)

=0.132
