<span>Selections of 4 candidates regardless of gender would result in 12c4, or 12!/(8!*4!) = 9*10*11*12 = 495 possibilities. Selections of 4 candidates where exactly two must be women would result in 8c2 (for the men) * 4c2 (for the women) = 8!/(6!*2!) * 4!/(2!*2!) = 28 * 6 = 168 possibilities. Selections of 4 candidates where AT LEAST two must be women would result in the above 168 (2 women) plus groups where there are exactly three women (8c1*4c3 = 8*(4!/(3!*1!) = 8*4 = 32) plus groups where there are exactly 4 women (1). So there are 168 + 32 + 1 = 201 possible selections of 4 from this group where at least 2 are women.</span>

Part A

If 4 candidates were to be selected regardless of gender, that means that 4 candidates is to be selected from 12.

The number of possible selections of 4 candidates from 12 is given by

^{12}C_4= \frac{12!}{4!(12-4)!}= \frac{12!}{4!\times8!} =11\times5\times9=495

Therefore, the number of <span>selections of 4 candidates regardless of gender is 495.



Part B:

</span>
<span>If 4 candidates were to be selected such that 2 women must be selected, that means that 2 men candidates is to be selected from 8 and 2 women candidates is to be selected from 4.

The number of possible selections of </span><span>2 men candidates from 8 and 2 women candidates from 4 is given by

</span><span>^{8}C_2\times ^{4}C_2= \frac{8!}{2!(8-2)!}\times &#10;\frac{4!}{2!(4-2)!} \\  \\ = &#10;\frac{8!}{2!\times6!}\times\frac{4!}{2!\times2!} &#10;=4\times7\times2\times3=168

Therefore, the number of selections of 4 candidates </span><span>such that 2 women must be selected is 168.</span>



Part 3:

If 4 candidates were to be selected such that at least 2 women must be selected, that means that 2 men candidates is to be selected from 8 and 2 women candidates is to be selected from 4 or 1 man candidates is to be selected from 8 and 3 women candidates is to be selected from 4 of <span>no man candidates is to be selected from 8 and 4 women candidates is to be selected from 4.

The number of possible selections of </span>2 men candidates from 8 and 2 women candidates from 4 of <span>1 man candidates from 8 and 3 women candidates from 4 of no man candidates from 8 and 4 women candidates from 4 is given by
</span><span>
^{8}C_2\times ^{4}C_2+ ^{8}C_1\times ^{4}C_3+ ^{8}C_0\times ^{4}C_4 \\  \\ = \frac{8!}{2!(8-2)!}\times \frac{4!}{2!(4-2)!}+\frac{8!}{1!(8-1)!}\times \frac{4!}{3!(4-3)!}+\frac{8!}{0!(8-0)!}\times \frac{4!}{4!(4-4)!} \\ \\ = \frac{8!}{2!\times6!}\times\frac{4!}{2!\times2!}+\frac{8!}{1!\times7!}\times\frac{4!}{3!\times1!}+\frac{8!}{0!\times8!}\times\frac{4!}{4!\times0!} \\  \\  =4\times7\times2\times3+8\times4+1\times1=168+32+1=201

Therefore, the number of selections of 4 candidates </span><span>such that at least 2 women must be selected is 201.</span>

a) As the constants are equal, the situation represents a proportional relationship.

b) The constant of 2/3 cupcakes per minute means that in a minute, 2/3 of a cupcake is made.

<h3>What is a proportional relationship?</h3>

A proportional relationship is a function in which the output variable is given by the input variable multiplied by a constant of proportionality, that is:

y = kx

In which k is the constant of proportionality.

In this problem, the constants for each situation are:

k = 30/45 = (30/15)/(45/15) = 2/3 = 20/30.

Since the constants are equal, the situation represents a proportional relationship.

The constant of 2/3 cupcakes per minute means that in a minute, 2/3 of a cupcake is made.

Answer:

x-intercept (s):

For this case h (x) = 0

x2 - 2x - 8 = 0

(x-4) * (x + 2) = 0

x1 = 4

x2 = -2

y-intercept:

For this case x = 0

h (0) = (0)2 - 2 (0) - 8

h (0) = - 8

vertex:

We derive the equation:

h '(x) = x2 - 2x - 8

h (x) = 2x - 2

We match zero:

2x-2 = 0

x = 2/2

x = 1

We evaluate the function for x = 1

h (1) = (1)2 - 2 (1) - 8

h (1) = 1 - 2 - 8

h (1) = -9

The vertex is:

(1, -9)

axis of symmetry of the function:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:
