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?

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

d = 3  meters

Step-by-step explanation:

d = rt where d is the distance t is the time and r is the constant of proportionality

d = 18t

Changing 10 minutes to hours

10 minutes * 1 hours / 60 minute = 1/6 hour

d = 18 * 1/6 hour

d = 3  meters

How much would $300 invested at 4% interest compounded monthly be
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

$412.92

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to want to use the compound interest formula, which is shown below.

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

<em>P = initial balance </em>

<em>r = interest rate </em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually </em>

<em>t = time </em>

<em />

The first step is to change 4% into its decimal form:

4% -> \frac{4}{100} -> 0.04

Now plug in the values:

A=300(1+\frac{0.04}{12})^{(12)8}

A=412.92

It would  be worth $412.92
