The questions are illustrations of combination and probability

  • Combination involves the ways of choosing or selecting an item from a group of items
  • Probability involves the chance of choosing or selecting an item from a group of items

<h3>1. Number of systems to choose from</h3>

The given parameters are:

Monitors = 4

Keyboard = 2

CPU = 4

Printer = 3

The number of systems to choose from is:

n = 4 * 2 * 4 * 3 = 96

Hence, Patrick can choose from 96 systems

<h3>2. Combination of Ice cream</h3>

The given parameters are:

Containers = 2

Flavors = 4

The number of total combination to choose from is:

n = 2 * 4C3 = 8

Hence, the number of total combination is 8

<h3>3. Emma dressing up</h3>

The given parameters are:

Blouse = 5

Skirt = 3

Shoes = 4 pairc

The number of ways to dress up:

n = 5 * 3 * 4 = 60

Hence, Emma can dress up in 60 ways

<h3>4. Members of committee</h3>

The given parameters are:

Students = 6

Members of committee = 3

The number of ways to form a committee is:

n = 6C3 = 20

Hence, there are 20 ways to form the committee

<h3 /><h3>5. Probability of consonant</h3>

We have:

Letters = 11

Consonnats = 7

The probability of selecting a consonant is:

P = 7/11

P = 0.636

Hence, the probability of selecting a consonant is: 0.636

<h3>6. Probability of not selecting a grade 8 student</h3>

We have:

Total students = 34

Students not in grade 8 = 25

The probability that a student is not in grade 8 is:

P = 25/34

P = 0.735

Hence, the probability that a student is not in grade 8 is 0.735

<h3>7. Probability of a secondary color </h3>

Not enough details to solve

<h3>8. Probability of a prime number</h3>

There are 9 prime numbers in a total number of 31 numbers from 4 to 34.

So, the probability that a number is prime is:

P = 9/31

P = 0.290

Hence, the probability that a number is prime is 0.290

A small manufacturing firm has 250 employees. Fifty have been employed for less than 5 years and 125 have been with the company
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a small manufacturing firm has 250 employees. Fifty have been employed for less than 5 years and 125 have been with the company for over 10 years. So remaining 75 are between 5 and 10 years.

Suppose that one employee is selected at random from a list of the employees

A) Probability that the selected employee has been with the firm less than 5 years = \frac{50}{250 } \\= 0.20

B) Probability that the selected employee has been with the firm between 5 and 10 years

= \frac{75}{250 } \\= 0.30

C) Probability that the selected employee has been with the firm more than 10 years

= \frac{125}{250} =0.50

a) P(A) = 0.2

P(C) = 0.5

P(A or B) = 0.2+0.3 = 0.5

P(A and C) = 0 (since A and C are disjoint)
