Answer:
0.004
Step-by-step explanation:
If two events A, B with probabilities P(A), P(B) are independent, then the probability of the two events ocurring at the same time A∩B is P(A)P(B).
In this case we have
P(torque=very high) = 0.3
P(torque=high) = 0.4
P(torque=average) = 0.2
P(torque=low) = 0.01
Using the product rule, we see there are
[tex]\frac{25!}{7!8!6!4!}=4.4172*10^{12}[/tex]
ways of partitioning 25 bolts in groups of 7,8,6 and 4 bolts.
Each one of those partitions has a probability of
[tex](P(torque=very high))^7*(P(torque=high))^8*(P(torque=average))^6*(P(torque=low))^4= (0.3^7)*(0.4^8)*(0.2^6)*(0.1^4)=9.1729*10^{-16}[/tex]
So, the probability of rating 7 very high, 8 high, 6 average, and 4 low is
[tex]4.4172*10^{12}*9.1729*10^{-16}=0.004[/tex]
