Im pretty sure It would be a decrease
8 action, 3 comedy, 5 drama....total = 16 dvd's
P(2 action, then a comedy)...without replacement
8/16 * 7/15 * 3/14 = (8 * 7 * 3) / (16 * 15 * 14) = 168/3360 = 1/20
Answer:
yes its 5 divided it add it up then its 5
Answer:
P = 1 3
Q = 1 6 8 3
Step-by-step explanation:
through factorization of 21879
i)On z, define a∗b=a−b
here aϵz
+
and bϵz
+
i.e.,a and b are positive integers
Let a=2,b=5⇒2∗5=2−5=−3
But −3 is not a positive integer
i.e., −3∈

z
+
hence,∗ is not a binary operation.
ii)On Q,define a∗b=ab−1
Check commutative
∗ is commutative if,a∗b=b∗a
a∗b=ab+1;a∗b=ab+1=ab+1
Since a∗b=b∗aforalla,bϵQ
∗ is commutative.
Check associative
∗ is associative if (a∗b)∗c=a∗(b∗c)
(a∗b)∗c=(ab+1)∗c=(ab+1)c+1=abc+c+1
a∗(b∗c)=a∗(bc+1)=a(bc+1)+1=abc+a+1
Since (a∗b)∗c
=a∗(b∗c)
∗ is not an associative binary operation.
