Answer:

a) 0.6

b) 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are taking 3 from a sample of 5 without replacements, we would have 5 choices for the first pick, 4 choices for the 2nd pick and 3 choices for the 3rd pick. The total possible number of ways to do this is:

5*4*3 = 60 ways

As order does not matter (GLS is the same as GSL), we divide this by the number of ways the 3 picks can be arrange, which is 3*2*1 = 6

So there are 60/6 = 10 possible samples

(a) If the governor is included in the sample, then we only have 4 choices for the 2nd pick and 3 choices for the 3rd pick. And there are also 2 ways to arrange this.

So there are 4*3/2 = 6 possible samples. The probability of this happening is 6/10 = 0.6

(b) If G and A are included, we only have 3 choices for the last pick. So the probability of this to happen is 3/10 = 0.3

Answer:

Volume = 66 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the oblique triangular prism = Area of the triangular base × Vertical height from the base

From the figure attached,

Area of the triangular base = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height of the right triangle})

                                             = \frac{1}{2}(3)(4)

                                             = 6 cm²

Vertical height of the given oblique prism = 11 cm

Volume of the given oblique prism = 6 × 11

                                                          = 66 cm³
