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

brian invests £4700 into his bank account he recieves 5.5% compound intrest how much will brian have after 3 years?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Brian will have £817.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal = £4700

interest = 5.5% = 0.055

n = 3 years

Amount = [(Principal * (1 + interest)ⁿ) - Principal]

Amount = [(4,700 * (1 + 0.055)³) - 4,700]

Amount = [(4,700 * (1.055)³) - 4,700]

Amount = [(4,700 * 1.174) - 4,700]

Amount = [5,517.8 - 4,700]

Amount = £817.8
