An election ballot asks voters to select 6 city commissioners from a group of 15 candidates. In how many ways can this be done

1 answer:

4 0

This is a combination since the order doesn't matter
C(15, 6) = (15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11 * 10)/(6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1)
C(15, 6) = 3603600/720
C(15, 6) = 5005 different combinations of votes

Since the angle is positive, you can find any coterminal angle by applying:

Angle + x = 2π ==> 7π/6 + x = 2π ==> x = 2π - 7π/6

x= 12π/6 -7π/6 = 5π/6

So the angle 5π/6 is the coterminal of 7π/6

A study indicates that 62% of students have have a laptop. You randomly sample 8 students. Find the probability that between 4 a

Scrat [10]

Answer:

72.69% probability that between 4 and 6 (including endpoints) have a laptop.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a laptop, or they do not. The probability of a student having a laptop is independent from other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
