Question

Suppose you just purchased a digital music player and put 6 tracks on it. After listening to it you decide you only like 2 songs. With the random feature on the player, each of the 6 songs is played once in random order. Find the probability that among the first 2 songs played

A. You like both of them

B. You like neither of them

C. You like exactly 1

Answer 1

The probability that among the first 2 songs played ;a) 6% , not unusual b) 40% and c) 48.4%

What is the probability?

Probability refers to a possibility that deals with the occurrence of random events.

We have the following information from the statement:

n = 6, r = 2

a)  

P (like both of them) = P (like first song) x P (like second song)

P = 2/6 x 1/5

P = 0.06 = 6%

The probability that among the first 2 songs played and You like both of them is 6%.

b)

P (like neither) = P (not like first song) x P (not like second song)

P = 4/6 x  3/5

P = 0.4 = 40%

c) P (like exactly one of them) = P (first song liked) x P (second song not liked) + P (first song not liked) x P (second song liked)

P = ( 2/6 x 1/5) + (4/6 x  3/5)

P = 0.484 = 48.4%
