Answer:

a) 1/6

b) 1/36

c) 1/720

d) 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Any of the six comics can perform in the fourth place, so there is one chance in six that Comic F is the one that performs fourth.

P(F=4th)=1/6

b) In this case, we have two conditions. Both are independent of each other, so the probability of both happening is the product of the probabilities of each happening individually:

P(D=4th \&B=2nd)=P(D=4th)\cdot P(B=2nd)=(1/6)\cdot(1/6)=1/36

c) This combination is one in all possible orders of perform. The amount of combinations of orders is n!=6!=720 possible combinations. So the probability of this specific order is:

P(F, D, B, A, C, E)=1/720

d) In this case, of the six possible comics performing in the last place, we calculate the probability of 2 of them being in that place. So the probability is:

P(C=6th\,or\, E=6th)=2/6=1/3

Solve the inequality 4(n-3)- 6 > 18
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

n>9

Step-by-step explanation:

4(n-3)- 6 > 18

To solve this inequality we need to remove the parenthesis

distribute 4 inside the parenthesis

4n -12 - 6 > 18

Now combine like terms

4n - 18 > 18

We need to isolate 'n', so we add 18 on both sides

4n > 36

Now divide both sides by 4

n > 9

So the value of n is greater than 9
