Answer:

A) 3603600

B) 40320

C) 0.0112

D) 1.86 × 10^-15

E) 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total number of books to be 15 novels

A) How many groups of 6 books may be formed?

This will be 15 permutation 6

15P6 = 15!/(15 - 6)!

= 3603600 groups

B) How Many groups of 6 will consist of all mystery books?

This will be 8 factorial

8! = 40320

C) What is the probability that a group picked at random will consist of all mystery books?

This will be

8! ÷ 15P6 = 40320 ÷ 3603600

= 0.0112

D) What is the probably that a group, picked at random , will consist of 3 mysteries, 2 romances and 1 fantasy? This means

8C3/15P6 × 6C2/15P6 × 1C1/15P6

0.00016 × 0.000042 × 0.00000028

1.86×10^-15

E) What is the probability the group of 6 will consist of all fantasy books?

The probability is approximately equal to zero.

E) What is the probability the group of 6 will consist of all fantasy books?

Mrs. R is pregnant and very worried that the child will have beta-thalassemia. What is the probability that the child will have
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

There are three kind of beta-thalassemia.

Total possible outcome=  3 types of beta- thalassemia + 1 [child will have no trace of disease] = 4

As we know Probability(outcome) = \frac{\text{ Total favorable outcome}}\text{Total possible outcome}

Probability that the child will have beta-thalassemia major =\frac{_{1}^{3}\textrm{C}}{_{1}^{4}\textrm{C}}

     =\frac{3}{4}

   ∴ favorable=_{1}^{3}\textrm{C}

 And , Total =_{1}^{4}\textrm{C}

Probability that the child will have no trace of the disease=\frac{1}{4}

I wrote down 3 different positive whole numbers that add 96. the sum of any 2 is divisible by the third.
il63 [147K]

This question is really simple if you focus on this part

“The sum of any two is divisible by the third”

<span>⟹⟹</span> Pairwise, the numbers must have a GCD greater than one.

Let this GCD be <span>xx</span>.

The first three easiest numbers I can think of are <span><span>x,2x</span><span>x,2x</span></span> and <span><span>3x</span><span>3x</span></span>

Because

<span><span>gcd(x,2x)=gcd(2x,3x)=gcd(3x,x)=x</span><span>gcd(x,2x)=gcd(2x,3x)=gcd(3x,x)=x</span></span>

The numbers sum to <span>9696</span>

<span><span>⟹x+2x+3x=96</span><span>⟹x+2x+3x=96</span></span>

<span><span>⟹6x=96</span><span>⟹6x=96</span></span>

<span><span>⟹x=16</span><span>⟹x=16</span></span>

The largest number is <span><span>3x=3×16=48</span><span>3x=3×16=48</span></span>

Thanks for the A2A
