Evaluate: a) n!/(n-3)!b) P(6,4)/4!​

Mathematics
1 answer:
telo118 [61]2 years ago
3 0

Step-by-step explanation:

a).

n! is

n(n - 1)(n - 2)(n - 3)(n - 4).........(1)

(n-3)! is

(n - 3)(n - 4)(n - 5)..........(1)

If we divide the two, everything behind (n-3) will just cancel out so we would be left with only

(n)(n - 1)(n - 2)

So the answer to a is

n(n - 1)(n - 2)

b

Permutations formula of P(6,4) is

6!/(6-4)!, or 6!/2!.

\frac{6  \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1}  = 360

Then we divide by 4!

\frac{360}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}  = 15

The answer to b is 15

A large pool of adults earning their first driver’s license includes 50% low-risk drivers, 30% moderate-risk drivers, and 20% hi
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The probability that these four will contain at least two more high-risk drivers than low-risk drivers is 0.0488.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the different kinds of drivers as follows:

L = low-risk drivers

M = moderate-risk drivers

H = high-risk drivers

The information provided is:

P (L) = 0.50

P (M) = 0.30

P (H) = 0.20

Now, it given that the insurance company writes four new policies for adults earning their first driver’s license.

The combination of 4 new drivers that satisfy the condition that there are at least two more high-risk drivers than low-risk drivers is:

S = {HHHH, HHHL, HHHM, HHMM}

Compute the probability of the combination {HHHH} as follows:

P (HHHH) = [P (H)]⁴

                = [0.20]⁴

                = 0.0016

Compute the probability of the combination {HHHL} as follows:

P (HHHL) = {4\choose 1} × [P (H)]³ × P (L)

               = 4 × (0.20)³ × 0.50

               = 0.016

Compute the probability of the combination {HHHM} as follows:

P (HHHL) = {4\choose 1} × [P (H)]³ × P (M)

               = 4 × (0.20)³ × 0.30

               = 0.0096

Compute the probability of the combination {HHMM} as follows:

P (HHMM) = {4\choose 2} × [P (H)]² × [P (M)]²

                 = 6 × (0.20)² × (0.30)²

                 = 0.0216

Then the probability that these four will contain at least two more high-risk drivers than low-risk drivers is:

P (at least two more H than L) = P (HHHH) + P (HHHL) + P (HHHM)

                                                            + P (HHMM)

                                                  = 0.0016 + 0.016 + 0.0096 + 0.0216

                                                  = 0.0488

Thus, the probability that these four will contain at least two more high-risk drivers than low-risk drivers is 0.0488.
