Answer:

a. 7893600

b.\ \dfrac{1}{26}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 26 numbers out of which 5 numbers are to be chosen.

Here repetition is not allowed.

For each of the 5 cases, the total number of possibilities will keep on decreasing by 1.

1st case, number of possibilities = 26

2nd case, number of possibilities = 25

3rd case, number of possibilities = 24

4th case, number of possibilities = 23

5th case, number of possibilities = 22

a. Total number of possibilities = 26 \times25 \times24 \times23 \times22 = <em>7893600</em>

b. Probability of winning by choosing one number:

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as: P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

Number of favorable cases = 1

Total number of cases = 26

So, required probability:

P(E) = \dfrac{1}{26}

So, the answers are:

a. 7893600

b.\ \dfrac{1}{26}

Now, use the below formula to find the system utilization.

System utilization = \dfrac{\text{ Arrival rate of customer }}{\text{ Servie rate}}

System utilization = \dfrac{15}{ \dfrac{60}{2.8}}

System utilization = \dfrac{15}{ \dfrac{60}{2.8}}

System utilization = 0.7 or 70%
