The Bernsteins, Hendersons, and Smiths each have five children. If the 15 children of these three families camp out in five diff

erent tents, where each tent holds three children, and the 15 children are randomly assigned to the five tents, what is the probability that every family has at least two of its children in the same tent?

Answer:

Probability=1-\frac{(5!)^{3} }{15!}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve this question with the help of complementary method. Observe the statement "Probability that every family has at least two of its children in the same tent". The complementary of this statement will be every family does not have atleast two of its children in the same tent ie. Each child of a family is not in the same tent as one from the same family.

P(A)=1-P(A)^{c}

Therefore, we can get P(A) if we just take out the value of P(A)^{c}

Probability=\frac{TotalNo.OfFavourableOutcomes}{TotalNo.ofOutcomes}

Imagine that we have 15 locations to fill and 15 people for it, so the total no. of cases= 15!

Bernstein's children can be arranged in 5 different tents in 5! ways.

Similarly Henderson's and Smith's children can be arranged in 5 different tents in 5! ways only.

Therefore, P(A)^{c}= \frac{(5!)^{3} }{15!}

P(A)=1- \frac{(5!)^{3} }{15!}

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Neither

Supplementary

Supplementary

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 90 + 43 = 133

Since this value does not equate to 90 or 180. The answer is Neither

2) 61 + 119 = 180

Since the answer equates to 180. The answer is Supplementary

3) 90 + 90 = 180

Since the answer equates to 180. The answer is Supplementary

What's the answer? pleaseee help
torisob [31]

Answer:

m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, simply use this equation:

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

Now we need to insert some points:

m = 10 - 0 / 11 - 6

m = 10/5

m = 2

Therefore, the slope of the line is 2.

If h(x) is the inverse of f(x), what is the value of h(f(x))?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Hello,

f(x) has as inverse f^(-1)(x)
and (fof^(-1))(x)=(f^(-1)of)(x)= x (the neutral function)
so h(f(x))=x
