Answer:

\frac{5}{14}

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of cups of tea offered = 3

Number of cups marked = 9

Number of cups tasted by each = 4

Now,

The probability that a contestant does not taste all of the samples

= contestant tastes only 2 samples of tea

= \frac{C_3^2\timesC_6^4}{C_9^4}

C₆⁴ = number of ways to choose 4 cups out of 6 cups of two samples

C₃² = number of ways to choose which 2 samples will be tasted

[ as 2 samples × 3 cups each = 6 cups ]

C₉⁴ = Number of ways to choose 4 cups out of 9

= \frac{5}{14}

Hence,

the correct answer is option (B) 5/14

garri49 [273]

Answer:

<em>5 ≤ 4x - 2.5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Inequalities</u>

The expression "no greater than" can be better expressed as "less or equal than".

The expression 4 times a number, being x the unknown number can be written: 4x

Thus, the equivalent inequality of the sentence is:

5 ≤ 4x - 2.5

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Final cost = 0.9328y

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume,

Original price = y

Given:

Discount = 22%

Sales tax = 6%

Computation:

Sales tax will be added on sale value

So,

Sales price = y[100%-22%]

Sales price = 0.88y

Price after sales tax :

Final cost = 0.88y[100% + 6%]

Final cost = 0.88y[106%]

Final cost = 0.9328y
