Problem 3 in your textbook presents three different sample spaces for a horse race with five horses running. Let the horses be d

esignated by the letters A, B, C, D, and E. A more complete characterization of an outcome of the horse race would be to designate which horse finishes in first through fifth places
(a) Consider the sample space for the set of outcomes characterized in this way. How many such outcomes are in the sample space?
b) How many outcomes are in the event that horse A finishes first?
(c) If G is the event that horse A finishes first and H is the event that horse B does not finish second, describe in words the event GnH. How many outcomes are in this event?

Answer:

a) 120

b) 24

c) 18

Step-by-step explanation:

part a

The sample space is defined by the rank of the horses.

Hence, 5 ranks would permute to = 5! = 120 outcomes

part b

Fixing the first position for horse A we are left with four horses and 4 positions, the position are permutated to 4! = 24 outcomes

part c

Fixing the first position for horse A we are left with four horses and 4 positions, and horse B can not finish second hence:

A _ B _ _  the rest can permute hence, 3! = 6 outcomes

A _ _ B _ the rest can permute hence, 3! = 6 outcomes

A _ _ _ B the rest can permute hence, 3! = 6 outcomes

Total outcomes is sum of 3 cases above = 18 outcomes

What is the medium lower quartile upper quartile and interquartil of the numbers
docker41 [41]
First you find the median, by taking 893+954 and dividing the sum of those two numbers by 2. The median is 923.5. Then you take and find the median of the numbers before the median which is 513. That is your lower quartile. Then you find the median of the numbers below the median, which is 1038. That is your upper quartile. The interquartile range is your upper quartile minus your lower quartile.  

Therefore, your answer would be: 
Median- 923.5
Lower Quartile- 513
Upper Quartile- 1038
Interquartile Range- 525

A bag of flour weighs 5 lb. 5/7 lb of flour was used to make bread. How many
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5/1 - 5/7

35/7 - 5/7

= 30/7 = 4 2/7 lb

Multiply the denominators, 7 by 5,and 1 by 7. When you have the same denominator in each fraction you can subtract. (7x4= 28, 30-28= 2)
