Answer:

53.33% probability that one woman and one man will be chosen to be on the committee

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the members are chosen is not important, so we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

What is the probability that one woman and one man will be chosen to be on the committee?

Desired outcomes:

One woman, from a set of 2, and one man, from a set of 4. So

D = C_{2,1}*C_{4,1} = \frac{2!}{1!1!}*\frac{4!}{1!3!} = 8

Total outcomes:

Two members from a set of 2 + 4 = 6. So

T = C_{6,2} = \frac{6!}{2!4!} = 15

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{8}{15} = 0.5333

53.33% probability that one woman and one man will be chosen to be on the committee

Can some help me with this question
Luden [163]

To find the equation of this line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b, where m is its slope and b is its y-intercept), we naturally need the slope and the y-intercept. We can see that the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0, 4) so our y-intercept is 4, and the line rises 4 along the y-axis for every 2 it runs along the x-axis, so its slope is 4/2 = 2. With this in mind, we can write the line's equation as

y = 2x + 4

Twice x, plus 4, is the same as -6.
BARSIC [14]
Start by writing what is said:
2x + 4 = -6
From there just solve for x:

Subtract 4 from both sides
2x + 4 - 4 = -6 - 4
2x = -10

Divide by 2 to get x by itself
2x/2 = -10/2
x = -5
