Slot A = chairperson position
Slot B = secretary position
Slot C = treasurer position

There are 9 choices for slot A. After picking that person, there are 8 choices for slot B. Then 7 choices for slot C

Multiply those values out: 9*8*7 = 72*7 = 504

There are 504 ways to pick three people from a pool of nine.

Answer: 504

Note: order matters so this is a permutation. You can use the nPr permutation formula with n = 9 and r = 3 to get the same answer

involving the selection of two apples from a bag of red and yellow apples without replacement. Assume that the bag has a total o
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1) The probability that the second apple is red is 0.7143 (71.43%).

2) The probability that at least one red apple is picked 0.9341 (93.41%).

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make a probability tree as the attached picture.

1) There are 2 ways in the probability tree when the second apple is red:

Both apples are red:

P(R∩R)=\frac{10}{14}\frac{9}{13}=0.4945

Only the second apple is red:

P(Y∩R)=\frac{4}{14}\frac{10}{13}=0.2198

The probability that the second apple is red is the sum of the previous probabilities.

P(2nd R)=P(R∩R)+P(Y∩R)=0.4945+0.2198=0.7143

2) To find the probability that at least one apple is red, we can get the probability of none of the apples is red and then it will be subtracted from 1.

The way in the probability tree is Y∩Y:

P(Y∩Y)=\frac{4}{14} \frac{3}{13}=0.0659

P(at least 1 R)= 1-P(Y∩Y)=1-0.0659=0.9341

The volume of a refrigerator is x^3-3x^2-16x-12.It's the height x+2.What are the other two dimensions?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

the other two dimensions are (x + 1) and  (x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Polynomial function as volume of refrigerator = x³ - 3x²- 16x - 12

factor of the function as height of the refrigerator, = x + 2

Divide the polynomial function by the given factor to get the remaining factors, which are the other two dimensions;

                           x²  - 5x - 6

                          --------------------------------------

            x + 2  √ x³ - 3x²- 16x - 12

                      -  (x³  + 2x²)

                         ------------------------------

                                 -5x² - 16x - 12

                              -  (-5x² - 10x)

                         -------------------------------

                                           -6x - 12

                                         - (-6x - 12)

                         --------------------------------------

                                                 0

Factorize the quotient ( x²  - 5x - 6);

x²  - 5x - 6 =   x²  + x  -6x - 6

                  =   x (x + 1) - 6( x + 1)

                  = (x + 1) (x - 6)

Thus, the other two dimensions are (x + 1) and  (x - 6)

total cost = c

c =0.40(4) + 0.60(6)

c = 1.60 + 3.60

Worker A finishes the job in 10 hours; worker B finishes it in 12 hours, and worker C finishes it in 15 hours.
nika2105 [10]
A=1/10, b=1/12, c=1/15  (these are the rates for each worker...)

1.)

2(1/10)+4(1/12)+t/15=1

1/5+1/3+t/15=1

(3+5+t)/15=1

3+5+t=15

8+t=15

t=7

So it would take c 7 hours to finish the job.

2.)

1/40-1/60

(3-2)/120

1/120

The drain rate is 1/60.  So you will need to find t when the tank is empty, while starting at 2/3 capacity...

2/3-t/60=0

(40-t)/60=0

40-t=0

t=40

It would take 40 minutes to empty the tank when it is 2/3 full.
