Answer:

A) 715 ways

B) 715 ways

C) (1/715)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a permutation and combination problem.

Since we want to select a number of people from a larger number of people, we use combination as the order of selection isn't important now.

A) How many different ways can the officers be appointed?

There are 4 officer positions.

There are 13 people in total.

We want to select 4 people from 13

Number of ways to select 4 people from 13 = ¹³C₄ = 715

B) How many different ways can the committee be appointed?

Number of committee members = 4

Total number of people available = 13

Number of ways to select 4 people from 13 = ¹³C₄ = 715

C) What is the probability of randomly selecting the committee members and getting the four youngest of the qualified candidates?

Selecting a group of the youngest candidates is just 1 amongst the total number of ways the 4 committee members can be picked,

Hence, the required probability = (1/715)

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the reciprocal of 1 and 2/3?
mr_godi [17]

Answer: 3/5

Step-by-step explanation: To find the reciprocal of 1 and 2/3, we first need to convert 1 and 2/3 to an improper fraction.

To write a mixed number as an improper fraction, first multiply the denominator times the whole number, then add the numerator.

So here, we multiply the denominator, 3, times the whole number, 1, then we add the numerator. So we have (3 x 1) + 2 or 3 + 2 which is 5.

Now we put our new number over our old denominator and we get 5/3.

However, we're not done yet. We still need to find the reciprocal.

The reciprocal describes a fraction so when we're asked to find the reciprocal of 5/3, we want to switch the numerator and denominator.

So if we switch 5/3, we get the proper fraction 3/5.

Therefore, the mixed number 1 and 2/3 is equivalent to the improper fraction 5/3, and if we switch the top and bottom numbers, we get 3/5.
