Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

In probability,

a probability of 0 means that it is IMPOSSIBLE, sure that this event WILL NOT occur, ever. So, probability of anything less than 0 is not possible.

On the other hand, probability of 1 means that it is CERTAIN to happen. So, probabilty of anything greater than 1 can't happen.

So we can say:

0 <= Probability of an Event happening <= 1

Option A is 1/2, which is in the middle, so this is OKAY.

Option B is 10%, which is certainly close to 0 and between 0 and 1, so this is OKAY.

Option C is 0.7, which is close to 1 and greater than 0, so in between 0 and 1, certainly. So this is OKAY.

Option D is 3/2 which is 1.5, so this is GREATER THAN 1, so it can't ever be possible.

Option D is the correct choice.

The sandwich shop has 6 employees, but only 3 people need to work at any one time. The manager wants to have a different group o
Step2247 [10]

Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of employees (n) = 6

Number of employees who can work at a time (r) = 3

To know of its possible for different groups of employees to work for two wweka, then, the number of different groups or combination must be greater Than or equal to 14 (two weeks) ; Assume (1 week = 14 days)

Using the combination formula :

nCr = n! ÷ (n - r)!r!

6C3 = 6! ÷ (6 - 3)!3!

6C3 = 6! ÷ 3!3!

6C3 = (6*5*4) ÷ (3*2*1)

6C3 = 120 / 6

6C3 = 20 ways

Hence, 20 different groups of 3 employees can be made from all 6 employees. Hence, it is possible to have different groups work for two weeks
