Assume that you only include whole numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) and not 3.5 and such
so if 1 is odd and less than 5 then it is
1 or 3, since 5 isn't included
then the other number, to be less than 5 when added,
must be
1+x<5
3+x<5
solve each
1+x<5
subtract 1
x<4
set of answers are 1,2,3
3+x<5
subtract 3
x<2
set of answer is 1
so the possible numbers are
1,2,3
that is 3 numbesr out of 9 so
probability=(total desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes) so
disred outcomes=3
total possible=9
3/9=1/3
the probabiltiy is 1/3
So this is what's known as a combination. a combination is a group where the order does not matter. to solve a combination, you use this equation:
n! / (r! *(n-r)!)
n is the total number of objects being sorted (8)
r is the group you need to sort them into (4)
(i know it's 2 groups of 4 but if you solve this for 1 group, the other group is automatically made of the remaining kids)
definition of !:
a number with a ! means 1*2*3...*that number (so that number multiplied by every number smaller than it all the way to one)
so we put 8 and 4 in this equation:
8! / (4! *(8-4)!)
simplify:
8! / *(4! 4!)
multiply out:
(8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) / (4*3*2*1 * 4*3*2*1)
and put that in your calculator
you will get 70
your answer is 70
