Answer:

The probability of choosing exactly 2 male and 4 female students =\frac{\binom{16}{2}\times \binom{19}{4}}{\binom{35}{6}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a class has 35 students

Number of male=16

Number of female=19

We have to choose 6 students for committee

We have to find the probability that exactly 2 male students are selected

Probability=P(E)=\frac{number\;of\;favorable\;cases}{total\;number\;of\;cases}

If we have to choose total 6 student in which 2 male and 4 female

Combination formula:

nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Using the formula

The probability of choosing exactly 2 male and 4 female students =\frac{\binom{16}{2}\times \binom{19}{4}}{\binom{35}{6}}

If the line with the slope 5 that passes through the point (-1,3) intersects the x axis at a point, what are the coordinates of
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: (-8/5,0)

Step-by-step explanation: If the slope is 5, m = 5

For (-1,3) we have x₀= -1 and y₀ = 3, to find the line equation

y - y₀ = m(x - x₀)

y - 3 = 5(x - (-1))

y - 3 = 5(x + 1)

y - 3 = 5x + 5

y = 5x + 8

A P that intersects the x axis has y = 0

0 = 5x + 8

5x = -8

x = -8/5

P (-8/5,0)
