Answer:
0.189
Step-by-step explanation:
We are using combination to solve for this.
C(n,r) = nCr = n!/r! (n - r)!
We have 10 total students and 11 total faculty = 21 people
Step 1
Selecting 3 students out of 10 total students
= 10× 9× 8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1/ 3×2×1 × 7×6×5×4×3×2×1/
= 120
Step 2
Select 6 faculty out of 11 faculty
11C6 = 11!/6!(11 - 6)!
= 11!/6! × 5!
= 11×10× 9× 8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1/6×5×4×3×2×1 × 5×4×3×2×1/
= 462
Step 3
Selecting 9 people out of 21 people to form a committee
21C9 = 21!/9!(21 - 9)!
= 21!/9! × 12!
= 293,930
Step 4
The fourth and final step of having a committee of 9 people =
(120 × 462)/293,930
= 55440/293,930
= 0.1886163372
Rounded to 3 decimal places = 0.189
Therefore, the probability that you select 3 students and 6 faculty = 0.189
Answer:
1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find how long it takes for the bacteria to lose half its size. We can do this by taking one point of the bacteria and finding how long it takes to go to half its size. When t=0, 9300 * (1/64)^t = 9300 * 1 = 9300 as anything to the power of 0 is 1. Therefore, we can solve for t when the end result of the bacteria is 9300/2= 4650, making our equation
4650 = 9300 * (1/64)^t
divide both sides by 9300
1/2 = (1/64)^t
First, we can tell that 2^6 = 64*. Because of this, we can say that (1/2)^6 = 1^6/2^6 = 1/64, so (1/64)^(1/6) = 1/2. We know this because
(1/2)^6 = 64
take the 6th root of both sides
(1/2) = (64)^(1/6)
. This means that t=1/6, so the bacterial culture loses 1/2 of its size every 1/6 seconds
* if this is harder to figure out, e.g. 3 and 729, we can plug (log₃729) into a calculator
Natasha's age is 81 years and Andrew's age is 31 years
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: From the given details, let the age of Natasha be x, then age of Andrew is x - 50.
- Step 2: Form equations out of their details of ages 6 years ago.
⇒ x - 6 = 3(x - 50 - 6)
⇒ x - 6 = 3(x - 56)
⇒ x - 6 = 3x - 168
⇒ 2x = 162
⇒ x = 81
- Step 3: Calculate Andrew's age
x - 50 = 81 - 50 = 31
