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%

Valerie runs track and field. At meets, Valerie lkes to buy protein bars, bananas and sports drinks Protein bars are $1. bananas
VladimirAG [237]

Complete Question

Valerie runs track and field. At meets, Valerie likes to buy protein bars, bananas, and sports drinks. Protein bars are $1, bananas are $0.50, and sports drinks are $2. Valerie has $10 to spend. She will spend no more than twice as much on sports drinks as bananas and at least three times as much on bananas as protein bars.

Let p represent the number of protein bars, b represent the number of bananas, and d represent the number of sports drinks that Valerie buys.

Which statements are true regarding Valerie's situation? Select all that apply A: p + 0.5b + 2d < 10 B: 0.5d + b + 3p < 10. C: d < 2b. D: b > 3p. E: 2d < b. F: 3b > p

Answer:

The statements that are true regarding Valerie's situation:

A: p + 0.5b + 2d < 10

C: d < 2b

D: b > 3p

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets represent

The number of protein bars as p.

The number of bananas as b.

The number of sports drinks that Valerie buys as d.

From the question:

We are told

Protein bars are $1

Bananas are $0.50

Sports drinks are $2.

She will spend no more than twice as much on sports drinks as bananas

d ≤ 2b = d < 2b

At least three times as much on bananas as protein bars.

b ≥ 3p = b > 3p

We are also told that:

Valerie has $10 to spend.

Hence:

$1 × p + $0.50 × b + $2 × d < $10

= p + 0.5b + 2d < 10

Therefore, the statements that are true regarding Valerie's situation:

A: p + 0.5b + 2d < 10

C: d < 2b

D: b > 3p
