Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

72 people stayed, because 96 ÷ 4 = 24, and 24 * 3 is 72.
We have been given the expression

We have the exponent rule

Using this rule, we have

Now, using the fact that
, we get
![x^{\frac{9}{7}}= \sqrt[7]{x^9}\\ \\ x^{\frac{9}{7}}=\sqrt[7]{x^7\times x^2}\\ \\ x^{\frac{9}{7}}=x\sqrt[7]{x^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B9%7D%7B7%7D%7D%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B7%5D%7Bx%5E9%7D%5C%5C%0A%5C%5C%0Ax%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B9%7D%7B7%7D%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B7%5D%7Bx%5E7%5Ctimes%20x%5E2%7D%5C%5C%0A%5C%5C%0Ax%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B9%7D%7B7%7D%7D%3Dx%5Csqrt%5B7%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D)
D is the correct option.
Answer:
a) 504
b) 56
c) 0.111
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
There are nine golf balls numbered from 1 to 9 in a bag
Three balls are randomly selected without replacement
a) 3-digit numbers that can be formed
= 
n = 9
r = 3
= ⁹P₃
= 
= 9 × 8 × 7
= 504
b) 3-digit numbers start with the digit 1
= _ _ _
in the above 3 blanks first digit is fixed i.e 1
we and we have 8 choices left for the last 2 digits
Thus,
n = 8
r = 2
Therefore,
= 1 × ⁸P₂
= 1 × 
= 1 × 8 × 7
= 56
c) Probability that the 3-digit number formed is less than 200
Now,
The number of 3-digit number formed is less than 200 will be the 3-digit numbers start with the digit 1 i.e part b)
and total 3-digit numbers that can be formed is part a)
therefore,
Probability that the 3-digit number formed is less than 200
= 56 ÷ 504
= 0.111
