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!}

y = 4x -19

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x + b

first we add the point to the equation and then we solve for b

-3 = 4 ( 4 ) + b

-3 = 16 + b

     -16

-19 = b
