This is a permutation problem in which you are to arrange the objects and the order doesn't matter. You can easily calculate it using your scientific calculator. Just use the formula nPr, where n is the total number of objects taken r at a time.

PAYMENT = 7 letters => 7P5 = 2520
There are 2,520 ways

For butterfly, its quite tricky because there are two letters. Oder does matter here, since no matter which t comes first, that is still the same. So, this is what you do:

BUTTERFLY = 9 letters
9P5 ÷ 2! => since there are two same letters
15120 ÷ 2 = 7560
There are 7560 ways.

The time to fly between New York City and Chicago is uniformly distributed with a minimum of 120 minutes and a maximum of 150 mi
rewona [7]

Answer:

a. 8.66 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the flight times are uniformly distributed, the standard deviation can be calculated as follows:

\sigma = \frac{b-a}{\sqrt{12}}

Where '<em>b' </em>is the maximum flight time (150 minutes) and '<em>a' </em>is the minimum flight time (120 minutes):

\sigma = \frac{150-120}{\sqrt{12}}\\\sigma = 8.66\ minutes

The distribution's standard deviation is 8.66 minutes.

1. Consider drawing a single card from a well shuffled 52-card deck. Let E1 be an event of getting a heart card and E2 be an eve
Paraphin [41]
<span>1) Find P(E1UE2)
E1 probability= 1/2</span>
<span>There are 26 red cards in a 52 card deck, so the probability of choosing a red card is = 26/52 = 1/2
E2 probability= 12/ 52 or 3/13</span>
<span>The face cards are: Jacks, Queens, and <span>Kings. There are four suits, so in each suit there are one jack, one queen and one king. The probability is 3 x 4= 12 divided by the total number of cards.

2)</span></span><span>the probability of drawing a blue ball on the first draw: 4 /10
</span>the probability of drawing a white ball on the second drawn: 6/9 (because there is less one ball from the previous draw).
the probability of the cases together is 4/15 ( 4 /10 x 6/9) <span>since they are independent cases.</span>
