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!}

The solution's something you can really easily pick up, I promise.

The solution is simply the point where the two lines connect.

In this case, it's (2,5). (x,y)

Hope this helped!

Harry earns $45 a week more than Xena. George earns $18 a week less than Xena. If Harry earns the same amount in two weeks that
12345 [234]

Answer:

Xena earns $144 per a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Harry earns - $ h

Xena earns - $ x

George earns -$ g

Harry earns $45 a week more than Xena.      h= x+45

George earns $18 a week less than Xena.     g = x - 18

If Harry earns the same amount in two weeks that George earns in three weeks

2h = 3g

So, we have the system of 3 equations:

h= x+45

g = x - 18

2h = 3g    (*)

Substitute values of h and g into equation (*)

2(x+45) = 3(x-18)

2x + 90 = 3x - 54

90+54 = 3x- 2x

x= 144
