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!)

=  80*20% + 84*30%+74*40%+60*10%

=  80*0.2 + 84*0.3+74*0.4+60*0.1

= 76.8

Answer:

x=20 and y=100

Step-by-step explanation:

Using vertical angles, angle 1 and 3 equal each other. Therefore, x=80/4. Then, by using the sum of angle 1 and 3, 160, and using vertical angles again, we can find angle 2, which is (360-160)/2.

<em>2. The species of trees in the orchard.</em>

Reason:

The exercise scientist is looking for the effects of a chemical between an apple crop to which it is administered and another to which it is not, 4 options are presented, of which it is essential to count as a variable the amount of water each Orchard and tree species in the orchard, since they can generate alterations in the results, the other two variables of the exercise such as number of apples and size of the orchards are not significant and their variations do not affect the scientist's objective.

Which line graph correctly reflects the information in the frequency table?
bekas [8.4K]
<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

Explanation:

You can use Excel to make the graph, but other free options work just fine. I used LibreOffice to make the graph shown below.

Each point on the line graph represents a frequency for a given time value. The first point being 4 units high, means there were 4 customers at 8:00 AM. Then there were 6 customers at 9:00 AM, meaning the next dot has a height of 6. And so on.

The graph shown below matches with choice B.
