Probability that he will choose debbie and esther as the two representatives is 1/20 .

<h3>What is the meaning of Probability ?</h3>

Probability is the stream in mathematics in which likeliness of an event to happen is studied.

The range of probability lies between 0 to 1 , where 0 indicates uncertainty and 1 indicates certainty.

It is given that anna, becky, christina, debbie, and esther are the five candidates for student representative for the school board.

two students will be selected, and they will alternate attending the school board meetings.

all five students are equally well qualified, so the school superintendent decides to draw names at random.

probability he will choose debbie and esther as the two representatives = ?

Probability of chosing debbie is 1/5

Probability of choosing Esther is also 1/5

Either of them if chosen first the probability is 1/5

and the either of them chosen second the probability is 1/4

Probability that he will choose debbie and esther as the two representatives = (1/5)*(1/4) = 1/20 .

A company orders supplies from M distributors and wishes to place n orders (n &lt; M). Assume that the company places the orders
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

a) 0.06048 b) 0.001344 c) 0.000294

Step-by-step explanation:

number of distributors = 10;

number of orders = 7

a)

There are 10 distributors for each order, so the no. of ways the 7 orders could be placed are = 10⁷ =10000000

no. of ways that orders goes to different distributors = ¹⁰C₇*7! = 604800

Probability = 604800/10000000 = 0.06048

b)

number of ways distributor 1 gets exactly 2 and distributor 2 gets exactly 3 orders = ⁷C₂*⁵C₃*8² = 13440

probability = 13440/10000000 = 0.001344

c)

number of ways distributor 1, 2,3 get exactly 2,3 and 1 order(s) = ⁷C₂*⁵C₃*²C₁*7¹ = 2940

probability = 2940/10000000 = 0.000294
