Answer:   0.1340

Step-by-step explanation:

The binomial distribution formula is given by :-

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}, where P(x) is the probability of x successes out of n trials, p is the probability of success on a particular trial.

Given : The number of employees over 50 years of age =7

The probability of employees over 50 years of age = \dfrac{7}{7+15}=0.318

Number of dismissed employees : n= 9

Now, the required probability will be :

P(x =1)=^{9}C_1(0.318)^{1}(1-0.318)^{9-1}\\\\=(9)(0.318)(1-0.318)^{8}=0.133950588714\approx0.1340

Thus, the probability that exactly 1 employee was over 50 = 0.1340

Step-by-step explanation:

Dod you mean

=  \frac{ {n}^{5} }{ {n}^{ - 2} }  \times  \frac{ {n}^{2 - 6} }{ {n}^{8} }

=  {n}^{5 - ( - 2)}  \times  {n}^{2 - 6 - 8}

=  {n}^{7}  \times  {n}^{ - 12}

=  {n}^{7 + ( - 12)}

=  {n}^{ - 5}  =  \frac{1}{ {n}^{5} }
