Answer:

P= 0.0039

Step-by-step explanation:

From Exercise we have 12 women and 4 men.

We calculate the number of combinations of 16 people, to be divided into 4 teams of 4 people each.

{16}_C_{4} · {12}_C_{4} · {8}_C_{4} =

=\frac{16!}{4!·(16-4)!} · \frac{12!}{4!·(12-4)!}· \frac{8!}{4!·(8-4)!}

=1820 · 495 ·  105

=94594500

The number of favorable combinations is

{12}_C_{3} · {9}_C_{3} · {6}_C_{3} =

=\frac{12!}{3!·(12-3)!} · \frac{9!}{3!·(9-3)!}· \frac{6!}{3!·(6-3)!}

=220 · 84 ·  20

=369600

The  probability is 369600/94594500=16/4095=0.0039

P= 0.0039

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

92

Step-by-step explanation:

We will list out the numbers which are factors of 12. They include:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.

We need to get the highest number that has its greatest factor to be 4. It means that 6 and 12 cannot divide it.

To do this, we will write out the multiples of 4. They include:

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88,92,96.

We will have to choose the highest number which only 4  can divide and  6 and 12 cannot divide.

Since we are looking for the largest, We can try dividing all the numbers by 4, 6, and 12 starting from 96.

We will quickly see that 4 can divide 92 but 6 and 12 cannot.

This gives us 92 as the answer.

PLEASE HELP!! WILL MARK BRAINLIST ​

Answer:

3/50 7/50 40/50

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok. I'm not exactly a math wiz but I think you may be overthinking this. Experimental probability should be the probability from the experiment right. It's in the name. In chemistry if it's a well established value it's called a theoretical value or probability. So the answer should just be the probability from the said experiment. No other funky math terms are given here which clues me to the idea that it might just be this simple.
