Visa Card USA studied how frequently young consumers, ages 18 to 24, use plastic (debit and credit) cards in making purchases (A

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Given the consumer is 18 to 24 years old, there is 37% probability that he uses a plastic card.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}$

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this problem, we have:

What is the probability of the consumer using a plastic card, given that the consumer is 18 to 24 years old.

The problem states that the probability that a consumer uses a plastic card when making a purchase is .37, so $P(B) = 0.37$

P(A/B) is the probability that the consumer being 18 to 24 years old, given that he uses a plastic card. The problem states that this probability is .19. So $P(A/B) = 0.19$

P(A) is the probability that the consumer is 18 to 24 years old. There is a .81 probability that the consumer is more than 24 years old. So there is a .19 probability that he is 18 to 24 years old. So $P(A) = 0.19$

The probability is

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.37*0.19}{0.19} = 0.37$

Given the consumer is 18 to 24 years old, there is 37% probability that he uses a plastic card.

You have 16 different cuts of flowers and plan to use seven of them how many different selections of the seven flowers are possi

alisha [4.7K]

We can have 11440 different selections.

SOLUTION: 

Given, you have 16 different cuts of flowers

And you have planned to use seven out of them.

We have to find how many different selections of the seven flowers are possible. Now, we have to select 7 items out of 16 available items. So we have to use combinations.

Then, 7 out of 16 combination $\rightarrow^{16} \mathrm{c}_{7} \rightarrow \frac{16 !}{(16-7) ! 7 !}$

$\bold{\text{ Since } ^nC_r=\frac{n !}{(r !(n-r) !)}}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow \frac{16 !}{9 ! \times 7 !}} \\\\ {\rightarrow \frac{16 \times 15 \times 14 \times 13 \times 12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9 !}{9 ! \times 7 !}} \\\\ {\rightarrow \frac{16 \times 15 \times 14 \times 13 \times 12 \times 11 \times 10}{7 \times 6 \times 13 \times 12 \times 11 \times 10}} \\\\ {\rightarrow \frac{57657600}{5040}} \\\\ {\rightarrow 11440}\end{array}$
