To determine the probability that both people chosen are females, we will use the rule of multiplication. 
Let event A = the event that the first person chosen is female; and let B = the event that the second person is female. 
To start, it is given that there are 10 students, 5 of them are females.  Therefore, P(A) = 5/10
After the first selection, there are 9 students, 4 of them are females. Therefore, P(A|B) = 4/9
Based on the rule of multiplication:

P(A∩B) = P(A) * P(A|B)
P(A∩B) = (5/10) (4/9)
P(A∩B) = 20/90
P(A∩B) = 2/9

The probability that both people chosen are females is 2/9.

There are 11 students on the tennis team. The coach selects 3 of them to go to atennis clinic. In how many ways can he choose 3
Komok [63]

Answer:

165 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Selection deals with combination

There are a total of 11 from which 3 are to be selected

        11C3 = 11!/3!(11-3)!

                 = 11!/(3!x8!)

                 =(11x10x9x8!)/(3x2x8!)

                 =11x10x9/6

                 =11x5x3 = 165 ways

Does this equation y=87.2/x represent a direct or inverse variation?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Inverse relationship

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation we are looking at is;

y = 87.2/x

which implies xy = 87.2

If it was a direct relationship

y = constant * x

if it was inverse, it would have been

y * x = constant

since 87.2 is a constant, the question looks exactly like the second scenario.

This means that what we have is an inverse relationship
