The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the probability that all biased coins are sorted out from a bag containing 20 coins, given certain probabilities for the number of biased coins. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information We have: - A bag containing 20 coins. - The probability that the bag contains exactly 4 biased coins is \( P(4) = \frac{3}{4} \). - The probability that the bag contains exactly 5 biased coins is \( P(5) = \frac{2}{3} \). ### Step 2: Determine the Probabilities Since the events of having exactly 4 biased coins and exactly 5 biased coins are mutually exclusive, we can add their probabilities: \[ P(4) + P(5) = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{2}{3} \] To add these fractions, we need a common denominator: - The least common multiple of 4 and 3 is 12. - Convert the fractions: \[ P(4) = \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{12}, \quad P(5) = \frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{12} \] Thus, \[ P(4) + P(5) = \frac{9}{12} + \frac{8}{12} = \frac{17}{12} \] This indicates that the probabilities provided are not consistent as they exceed 1. However, we will proceed with the calculations based on the given probabilities. ### Step 3: Calculate the Probability for 10 Draws We need to find the probability that all biased coins are sorted out in exactly 10 draws. We will consider two cases: when there are 4 biased coins and when there are 5 biased coins. #### Case 1: Exactly 4 Biased Coins - We need to choose 3 biased coins from the 4 in the first 9 draws, and the last biased coin must be drawn in the 10th draw. - The number of ways to choose 3 biased coins from 4 is \( \binom{4}{3} \). - The remaining coins are 16 (20 total - 4 biased), and we need to choose 6 from these 16. - Thus, the probability for this case is: \[ P(4) \cdot \frac{\binom{4}{3} \cdot \binom{16}{6}}{\binom{20}{9}} \cdot \frac{1}{11} \] #### Case 2: Exactly 5 Biased Coins - We need to choose 4 biased coins from the 5 in the first 9 draws, and the last biased coin must be drawn in the 10th draw. - The number of ways to choose 4 biased coins from 5 is \( \binom{5}{4} \). - The remaining coins are 15 (20 total - 5 biased), and we need to choose 5 from these 15. - Thus, the probability for this case is: \[ P(5) \cdot \frac{\binom{5}{4} \cdot \binom{15}{5}}{\binom{20}{9}} \cdot \frac{1}{11} \] ### Step 4: Combine the Probabilities Now, we combine the probabilities from both cases: \[ P(\text{all biased coins sorted out}) = P(4) \cdot \frac{\binom{4}{3} \cdot \binom{16}{6}}{\binom{20}{9}} \cdot \frac{1}{11} + P(5) \cdot \frac{\binom{5}{4} \cdot \binom{15}{5}}{\binom{20}{9}} \cdot \frac{1}{11} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the Values Substituting the values of \( P(4) \) and \( P(5) \): \[ = \frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{4 \cdot \binom{16}{6}}{\binom{20}{9}} \cdot \frac{1}{11} + \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{5 \cdot \binom{15}{5}}{\binom{20}{9}} \cdot \frac{1}{11} \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Expression Now, we can simplify the expression: \[ = \frac{3 \cdot \binom{16}{6}}{44 \cdot \binom{20}{9}} + \frac{10 \cdot \binom{15}{5}}{33 \cdot \binom{20}{9}} \] ### Final Answer The final expression can be written as: \[ = \frac{2}{33} \cdot \frac{(5 \cdot \binom{15}{5} + 3 \cdot \binom{16}{6})}{\binom{20}{9}} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the correct answer is: **Option B: \( \frac{2}{33} \left( \frac{(16C6 + 5 \cdot 15C5)}{20C9} \right) \)**
