Suppose that your boss must choose three employees in your office to attend a conference in Jamaica. Because all 17 of you want

to go, he decides that the only fair way is to draw names out of a hat. What is the probability that you, Anna, and Kevin are chosen? Enter a fraction or round your answer to 4 decimal places, if necessary.

Answer:

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = \frac{1}{4913}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total\ Employees = 17

To\ Select = 3

Required

Determine the probability of selecting You, Anna and Kevin

Assuming the selection process is fair;

Each employee has a probability of;

Probability = \frac{1}{17}

So:

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = P(You) * P(Anna) * P(Kevin)

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = \frac{1}{17} * \frac{1}{17} * \frac{1}{17}

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = \frac{1}{4913}

What is the equation of the line that passes through (5, 3) and (4, 5)
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

y = - 2x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 5)

m = \frac{5-3}{4-5} = \frac{2}{-1} = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (4, 5), then

5 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 8 = 13

y = - 2x + 13 ← equation of line

Two cyclists, 112 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 3 times as fast as the other, and the
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

r = Speed of b= 7 miles/hr

Speed of a = 3r

Step-by-step explanation:

The cyclist are 112 miles apart

Time traveled by two = 4 hours

Speed of a = 3 * speed of b

If a cylcles 3 times More than b, then a will cover 3*distance of b

But speed = distance/time

Time = 4hours

Total distance=112

a = 3b

3b + b = 112

4b = 112

b = 112/4

b = 28 miles

a = 3b

a = 3*28

a = 84 Miles

They bought traveled 4 hours

Speed of a = 84miles/4 hours

Speed of a= 21 miles/hr

Speed of b = 28miles/4 hours

Speed of b = 7 miles/hr
