Answer:

The probability that all three people on the subcommittee are men

= 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of members in the committee = 15

= 8 men + 7 women

The probability of selecting a man in the committee

= 8/15

= 53%

The probability of selecting three men from eight men

= 3/8

= 37.5%

The probability that all three people on the subcommittee are men

= probability of selecting a man multiplied by the probability of selecting three men from eight men

= 53% x 37.5%

= 19.875%

= 20% approx.

This is the same as:

The probability of selecting 3 men from the 15 member-committee

= 3/15

= 20%

You can identify the slope which is done by calculating it between two points of the line using the formula which everyone know is y2--y1 and x2--x1

Or you can find the Y intercept which you substitute the slope and the coordinates you have of a point.

10. 10x + 5y = 15
Westkost [7]

Answer:

x = 1.5

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

10x + 5(2x - 3) = 15

10x + 10x - 15 = 15

20x - 15 = 15

20x = 30

x = 1.5

y = 2(1.5) - 3

y = 3 - 3

y = 0

Check:

10(1.5) + 5(0) = 15

15 + 5(0) = 15

15 + 0 = 15

15 = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, Schaffer and Emerson suggested that attachments develop in four stages: asocial stage or pre-attachment (first few weeks), indiscriminate attachment (approximately 6 weeks to 7 months), specific attachment or discriminate attachment (approximately 7-9 months) and multiple attachment (approximately 10
