Answer:

\frac{C^{3}_1* C^{47}_4}{C^{40}_5}

Explanation:

It is given that out of 40, total 5 specimen are selected.

Thus, the number of ways in which 5 specimens are selected from a given sample of 40 is given by

C^{40}_{5}\\

Number of specimen with certain trait is equal to 3.

Now, total 5 specimen are selected out of which one specimen is selected from the set of specimen that has certain trait (i.e out of 3) while the remaining four specimen will be selected from the rest 40-3=37 specimen.

Thus, the probability of choosing only 1 of the 5 specimens with the trait is equal to

\frac{C^{3}_1* C^{37}_4}{C^{40}_5}

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Fourth trimester.

Fourth trimester is the fourth stage in which abortion can not be done because the baby is big enough in size and comes out from the womb. The abortion in this stage can put the life of the mother in danger so that's why abortion is not allowed. Newborn babies are learning to adjust itself to life outside the womb where it was warm so we can say that  fourth trimester is the stage in which abortion is risky and dangerous.
