Answer:

462

6

1.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the questions are combinations, we must apply the combination formula, which is as follows:

n C r = (n!) / (r! (n-r)!)

Because there are 6 men and 5 women, there are a total of 11 people.

Thus:

n = 11

In the first question in how many ways can 5 people be selected from this group of 11, r = 5.

Replacing in the formula:

11 C 5 = (11!) / (5! * (11-5)!)

11 C 5 = (11!) / (5! * 6!)

11 C 5 = 462

In the second question, in how many ways can 5 men be selected from the 6 men, here n = 6 and r = 5, replacing we are left with:

6 C 5 = (6!) / (5! * (6-5)!)

6 C 5 = (6!) / (5! * 1!)

6 C 5 = 6

In the last question of what is the probability that the selected group is all men, we have that it is the combination of the two previous questions. Since the total would be part A it would be the total of the combinations of choosing 5 of 11 people and part B of the 6 men that there are the combinations of choosing 5.

Divide the two values ​​from parts A and B to get ...

(result from part B) / (result from part A) = (# of ways to pick 5 men) / (# of ways to pick 5 people)

(result from part B) / (result from part A) = 6/462

(result from part B) / (result from part A) = 0.012

In other words, the probability is 1.2%

A parking lot has seventy-six parking spaces numbered from 1 to 76. There are no cars in the parking lot when Jillian pulls in a
Elodia [21]

Answer:

40/76 or 10/19 or 52.63% (they are all equivalent)

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 76 parking spaces in total

30 parking spaces have numbers that are less than 31 (1 - 30)

that means that there are 76 - 30 = 46 spaces that are numbered 31 or higher

so the probability that Jillian parks on a parking space with a number ≥ 31 is 40/76 or 10/19 or 52.63%

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

12 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the capacity sum of the 5 containers be X

13 = X / 5

X = 65 liters

Average capacity of the six = ( 65 + 7 )/ 6 liters

= 72/6 liters

= 12 liters
