Answer: 0.1937

Explanation:

Given : A bowl contains 20 candies; 15 are chocolate and 5 are vanilla.

If we select 5 candies, then the number of ways to select them is given by permutations.

The number of ways to select 5 candies is given by :-

^{15}P_5=\dfrac{15!}{(15-5)!}=\dfrac{15\times14\times13\times12\times11\times10!}{10!}=360360

The number of ways of selecting any 5 candies out of 20:-

^{20}P_5=\dfrac{20!}{(20-5)!}\\\\=\dfrac{20\times19\times18\times17\times16\times15!}{15!}\\\\=1860480

Now, the probability that all 5 are chocolate :-

=\dfrac{360360}{1860480}=0.193691950464\approx0.1937

Hence, the probability that all 5 are chocolate =0.1937

Answer:

A bowl contains 20 candies; 15 are chocolate and 5 are vanilla.

If we select 5 candies, then the number of ways to select them is given by permutations.

The number of ways to select 5 candies is given by :-

^{15}P_5=\dfrac{15!}{(15-5)!}=\dfrac{15\times14\times13\times12\times11\times10!}{10!}=360360

=

(15−5)!

15!

=

10!

15×14×13×12×11×10!

=360360

The number of ways of selecting any 5 candies out of 20:-

\begin{lgathered}^{20}P_5=\dfrac{20!}{(20-5)!}\\\\=\dfrac{20\times19\times18\times17\times16\times15!}{15!}\\\\=1860480\end{lgathered}

=

(20−5)!

20!

=

15!

20×19×18×17×16×15!

=1860480

Now, the probability that all 5 are chocolate :-

=\dfrac{360360}{1860480}=0.193691950464\approx0.1937=

1860480

360360

=0.193691950464≈0.1937

Hence, the probability that all 5 are chocolate

Creating and modifying sets.
dsp73

Answer:

Explanation:

The following Python code asks the user for inputs for the name to remove and add in the set. It then tries to remove the given name from the list. If it fails it prints out to the user saying that the name does not exist. If it does exist then it removes the name and adds the new name. Finally it prints out the current list of names.

male_names = {'oliver', 'Declan', 'Henry'}

name_to_remove = input("Enter name to remove: ")

name_to_add = input("Enter name to add: ")

try:

   male_names.remove(name_to_remove)

   male_names.add(name_to_add)

except:

   print("Name that you are trying to remove does not exist")

print("List of Names: ")

print(male_names)
