The probabilities of the given events are:

A. P(even) = P(A) = 7/15

B. P(multiple) = P(B) = 3/15

C. P(prime) = 6/15

D. P(B|A) = 3/7

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes of an event to the total number of possible outcomes.

P(E) = n(E)/n(S)

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The given sample space is S = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}

So, n(S) = 15

A. The selected number is even:

Consider the event as A.

The set of even numbers in the given sample is {2,4,6,8,10,12,14}

So, n(A) = 7

Then, the required probability is

P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

       = 7/15

B. The selected number is a multiple of 4:

Consider the event as B.

The set of multiples of 4 in the given sample is {4,8,12}

So, n(B) = 3

Then, the required probability is

P(B) = n(B)/n(S)

       = 3/15

C. The selected number is prime:

Consider the event as C.

The set of prime numbers in the given sample is {2,3,5,7,11,13}

So, n(C) = 6

Then, the required probability is

P(C) = n(C)/n(S)

       = 6/15

D. calculate P(B|A):

Since events B and A are dependent events of the same sample,

n(A∩B) = 3 and the set is {4,8,12}. Then, P(B|A) is

P(B|A) = n(A∩B)/n(A)

⇒ P(B|A) = 3/7

2. A restaurant employs five people. The two cooks work 36 hours
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Total amount = R5112

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cooks be C.

Let the waiters be W.

Given the following data;

Number of cooks, C = 2

Number of waiters, W = 3

a. To find the amount earned by each cook;

C = 36 * R36 = R1296

b. To find the amount earned by each waiter;

W = 30 * R28 = R840

c. To find the total amount earned by the employees;

Total amount = 2C + 3W

Total amount = 2(1296) + 3(840)

Total amount = 2592 + 2520

Total amount = R5112

podryga [215]

Answer:

When a=\frac{1}{4} and b=6:

-8ab=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

-8ab can be seen as -8×a×b. Insert the given values:

-8*\frac{1}{4} *6

Simplify multiplication from left to right:

-8*\frac{1}{4} \\\\\frac{-8}{1} *\frac{1}{4} =\frac{-8}{4} =-2

Insert and solve:

-2*6=-12
