The total number of arrangements for all of them to be women is:
C(7, 4) because the order does not matter; we'd still have the same arrangements.

Now, we can simplify this:
C(7, 4) = \frac{7!}{4!(7 - 4)!}
= \frac{5040}{4!3!}
= \frac{5040}{24 \cdot 6}
= \frac{5040}{144} = 35

Now, the total number of arrangements, without restriction, is simply: C(12, 4) because we don't care who we pick.

\text{P(4 women): } \frac{35}{495} = \frac{7}{99}

Answer:

2x\sqrt{40x}-2x\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

2x\sqrt{40x}-2x\sqrt{5} is found by first, siplifying the radicals in the parenthesis. \sqrt{8x^{2} } can be simplified as 2x\sqrt{2} and -2\sqrt{x} stays the same. Now we have to multiply these two by \sqrt{5x} which then results in 2x\sqrt{40x}-2x\sqrt{5}

Lucia has 3.5 hours left in her workday as a car mechanic. Lucia needs 1/2 of an hour to complete one oil change.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: So Lucía has 3.5 hours left, and need 1/2 of an hour (or 0.5 hours) to do one oil change.

a) If you divide the total time she has by the time she needs for each oil change, then you got the total number of oil changes that she can do in that time; this is:

3.5/0.5 = 7

So she can do 7 oil changes in 3.5 hours.

b) If she can complete two car inspections in the same amount of time it takes her to complete one oil change, then she can do two car inspections in 0.5 hours.

2*car inspections = 0.5 hours

car inspection = (0.5/2) hours

then one car inspection will take 0.5/2 = 0.25 hours.

c) Two ways to solve this:

1) Do the same that we did in a), this is: 3.5/0.25 = 14

she can do 14 car inspections.

2) If in 3.5 hours, she can do 7 oil changes, and in the time she does an oil change, she can do two car inspections, then in 3.5 hours she can do 7*2 car inspections, and 7*2 = 14

B.) Number less than 3 :

Event A:

A = {1HH, 1HT, 1TT, 1TH, 2H, 2T}

C.)

Event B:

B = {1TT, 3TT, 5TT}

D.)

Event C:

C = {1HT, 1TH, 3HT,3TH,5HT, 5TH}

E.)  

A' = Elements not in A = number ≥ 3

A' = {3HH,3HT, 3TT, 3TH, 4H, 4T, 5HH, 5HT, 5TH, 5TT, 6H, 6T}

Question f and G are not well formatted ;

h. Check attached picture

I) i. Are A and B mutually exclusive? Are A and C mutually exclusive? Are B and C mutually exclusive?

A and B are mutually exclusive if AnB = ∅

Check :

AnB = {1TT}

Hence, A and B are not mutually exclusive

A and C

AnC = {1HT, 1TH}

A and C are not mutually exclusive.

B and C

BnC = ∅

B and C are mutually exclusive
