7 girls audition for 12 roles in a school play. What is the probability that at least 2 of the girls audition for the same part?

Mathematics

Sophie [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is one minus the probability that all the girls audition for different roles. The total number of ways of assigning roles to the girls is 12^7, because to each of the 7 girls, you have a choice of 12 roles.

Then if each girl is to receive a different role, then there are 12!/5! possibilities for that. If you start assigning roles to the girls, then for the first girl, there are 12 choices, but for the next you have to choose one of the 11 different ones, so 11 for the next, and then one of the 10 remaining for the next etc. etc., and this is 12*11*10*...*6 = 12!/(12-7)! =12!/5!

The probability that a random assignment of one of the 12^7 roles would happen to be one of the 12!/5! roles where each girl has a different role, is

(12!/5!)/12^7 = 12!/(12^7 5!)

Then the probability that two or more girls addition for the same part is the probability that not all the girls are assigned different roles, this is thus:

1 - 12!/(12^7 5!)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The union of two sets is a new set that contains all of the elements that are in at least one of the two sets. The union is written as A∪B or “A or B”. The intersection of two sets is a new set that contains all of the elements that are in both sets. The intersection is written as A∩B or “A and B”.

Hope this helps ^^

Which linear equations does the graph show the solution to? Select all that apply. y = 2x + 13 y = –x – 2 y = 3x – 5 y = negativ
salantis [7]

Answer:

y = 2x + 13

y = –x – 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are:

y = 2x + 13

y = -x - 2

y = 3x - 5

y= -(1/2)x + 6

y = -2x - 2

The graph is shown in the figure attached. There, point (-5, 3) is shown. Replacing it into the equations we get:

y = 2(-5) + 13  = 3    (so, it is a solution)

y = -(-5) - 2 = 3     (so, it is a solution)

y = 3(-5) - 5  = -20 ≠ 3   (so, it isn't a solution)

y= -(1/2)(-5) + 6  = 8.5 ≠ 3     (so, it isn't a solution)

y = -2(-5) - 2 = 8 ≠ 3     (so, it isn't a solution)
