Answer:
C. 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The order in which the members are selected is important. The first one selected is the president and the second is the vice president.
So we use the permutations formula to solve this question.
Permutations formula:
The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:
In this problem:
2 people are going to be chosen from a set of 5. So
So the correct answer is:
C. 20
Answer:
-24
Step-by-step explanation:
goes by -5
Part (a)
P(A) = 0.5
P(B) = 0.4
P(B/A) = 0.6
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B/A)
P(A and B) = 0.5*0.6
P(A and B) = 0.3
<h3>Answer: 0.3</h3>
==========================================
Part (b)
We'll use the result from part (a)
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
P(A or B) = 0.5 + 0.4 - 0.3
P(A or B) = 0.6
<h3>Answer: 0.6</h3>
===========================================
Part (c)
A and B are not independent since P(B) does not equal P(B/A). The fact that event A happens changes the probability P(B). Recall that P(B/A) means "probability P(B) based on event A already happened". A and B are independent if P(B) = P(B/A).
Events A and B are not mutually exclusive since P(A or B) is not zero.
<h3>Answer: Neither</h3>
