The probability of picking 2 white balls and 1 black ball is 0.154

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Number of balls, n = 20
  • White = 12
  • Black = 8

When each ball is selected, the total number of ball decreases by 1 and the type of ball also decreases.

So, the probability is represented as:

P(2 white and 1 black) = White/n * White - 1/n - 1 * Black//n - 2

Substitute known values

P(2 white and 1 black) = 12/20 * 11/19 * 8//18

Evaluate

P(2 white and 1 black) = 0.154

Hence, the probability of picking 2 white balls and 1 black ball is 0.154

A swim meet has 13 contestants signed up for the 100-meter butterfly event. The first heat has 6 swimmers. How many different wa
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

6 swimmers in the first heat can be arranged in 1716 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

A swim meet has 13 contestants signed up. To calculate the arrangement of first 6 swimmers in first heat we will use combinations because order doesn't matter.

So to select 6 swimmers out of 13 contestants number of different ways

= ^{13}C_{6}

= \frac{13!}{(6!)(13-6)!}

= \frac{13\times 12\times 11\times 10\times 9\times 8\times 7!}{6!\times 7!}

= \frac{13\times 12\times 11\times 10\times 9\times 8}{6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1}

= \frac{1235520}{720}

= 1716

Therefore, 6 swimmers in the first heat can be arranged in 1716 different ways.
