Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a 1/12 probability that volume 1 will be correctly put in position 1.  

If we assume that volume 1 is right, then since there are then only 11 books left to choose from, there is then a 1/11 prob that volume 2 will be in position 2.  And so on. By the same reasoning there is 1/10 prob that volume 3 is then right, 1/9 prob for volume 4, 1/8 prob for volume 5, and 1/7 prob for volume 6,

and 1/6 prob for volume 7,and 1/5 prob for volume 8,and 1/4 prob for volume 9,and 1/3 prob for volume 10,and 1/2 prob for volume 11,and 1/1 prob for volume 12.  

So the probability is 1 /(12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1 / 479,001,600 ....

saveliy_v [14]

Answer: 1 \frac{3}{16}\ lb

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that Sara has 8 ounces of vanilla yogurt in her cup and her  father’s yogurt weighs 11 ounces. Then, the total ounces of frozen yogurt they buy altogether is:

total_{(ounces)}=8\ oz+11\ oz\\\\total_{(ounces)}=19\ oz

The next step is to make the conversion from ounces to pounds.

You need to remember that:

1\ lb=16\ oz

Therefore:

total_{(pounds)}=(19\ oz)(\frac{1\ lb}{16\ oz})=\frac{19}{16}\ lb

This result expressed as a mixed number, is:

total_{(pounds)}=1\frac{3}{16}\ lb
