Answer:

0.1071

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total number of students=8

Boys=2

Girls=6

When we are picking a group from population we use combinations to calculate sample space and for event

So if a group of 5 has to be picked from 8 students

ⁿC_k=  n!/(k!)(n-k)!

C_(n,k)=  n!/(k!)(n-k)!

Here n=8 and k=5

C_8,5=  8!/(5!)(8-5)!

This will give us:  

C_8,5=56

And if we have to pick only girls:

C_6,5=  6!/(5!)(6-5)!

=6

The probability of picking all girls:

=6/56

=0.1071

Which equation represents the statement: Three times the sum of a number and 5 is –30?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

3(n+5)=-30

Step-by-step explanation:

Three times the sum of a number and 5 is - 30

Vocabulary:

times = multiplication, represented with *

sum = addition, represented by +

unknown number = n

Three * the sum of a number and 5

The sum of a number and 5 is the same as saying n + 5

So we are multiplying 3 by n + 5

Because n is an unknown variable we have to separate the sum of n and 5 from being multiplied by 3 with parenthesis. We do this because if we want to multiply 3 by the sum of n and 5. If we put 3 * n + 5 we are only multiplying the unknown variable by 3 not including the 5 that is added to it.

So we get 3( n + 5 ) is -30

3(n+5)=-30 is the answer.
