Answer: Probability P = 1/1716

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition

For permutation ( order is important)

nPr = n!/(n-r)!

Given;

Total number of members in the committee = 13

Total number of members to be selected = 3

Since order is important in this case.

The total number (Tt) of possible ways of selecting three executives from the committee members is given as

Tt = 13P3 (since order is important)

Tt = 13!/(13-3)!

Tt = 13!/10!

Tt = 1716

The probability P of randomly selecting the three members who currently hold the positions of chairman, ranking member, and treasurer and reassigning them to their current​ positions is equal to

P = number of favourable outcomes/ number of possible outcomes

Number of favourable outcomes = 1 (i.e 1×1×1 = 1) one option for each post.

Number of possible outcomes = Tt = 1716

P = 1/1716

Of the 25 fish that Karl caught
otez555 [7]

Answer:

1,820 trout

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion where x is the number of trout in the lake:

\frac{7}{25} = \frac{x}{6,500}

Cross multiply and solve for x:

25x = 45,500

x = 1820

So, you could expect 1,820 trout to be in the lake.
