200 students in a high school senior class are surveyed about what majors they intend to declare in college. Of the 200 students

, 80 plan to major in mathematics, 100 plan to major in computer science, and 30 plan to pursue a double major in mathematics and computer science. Using this information, answer each of the following questions. Let M be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in mathematics and C be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in computer science. What is P(M), left parenthesis, M, right parenthesis, the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?

<u>2. What is P(M), the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?</u>

  • P(M) = number of students who plan to major in mathematics / number of students

  • P(M) = 80 / 200 = 0.4

Find the tenth term of the expansion (x+ y)¹³
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

715x^4y^9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x + y)^{13

Required

Determine the 10th term

Using binomial expansion, we have:

(a + b)^n = ^nC_0a^nb^0 + ^nC_1a^{n-1}b^1 + ^nC_2a^{n-2}b^2 +.....+^nC_na^{0}b^n

For, the 10th term. n = 9

So, we have:

(a + b)^n = ^nC_{9}a^{n-9}b^{9

(x + y)^{13} = ^{13}C_{9}x^{13-9}y^9

(x + y)^{13} = ^{13}C_{9}x^4y^9

Apply combination formula

(x + y)^{13} = \frac{13!}{(13-9)!9!}x^4y^9

(x + y)^{13} = \frac{13!}{4!9!}x^4y^9

(x + y)^{13} = \frac{13*12*11*10*9!}{4!9!}x^4y^9

(x + y)^{13} = \frac{13*12*11*10}{4!}x^4y^9

(x + y)^{13} = \frac{13*12*11*10}{4*3*2*1}x^4y^9

(x + y)^{13} = \frac{17160}{24}x^4y^9

(x + y)^{13} = 715x^4y^9

Hence, the 10th term is 715x^4y^9
