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

A fish fank was 3/4 full, and then 1/3 of the water leaked out,
QveST [7]

Answer:

5) It was 5/12 of the way full

6) It holds 48 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

For #5, you can simply find the lowest common denominator, which was 12, so you would multiply 3/4 by 3/3 and 1/3 by 4/4, giving you 9/12 and 4/12. Next you would subtract 4 from 9 and get the answer 5/12.

For #6 you can set up the problem as a ratio, 5/12 and 20/x, and then cross multiply, getting the equation 5x = 240. Then divide by 5 and you get the answer 48.

Hope this helps!!

The difference between a geometric sequence and an exponential function?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer: Geometric sequences and exponential functions are very closely related. As a result, geometric sequences and exponential functions look very similar. The fundamental difference between the two concepts is that a geometric sequence is discrete while an exponential function is continuous.

Let u=ln x and v= ln y. Write ln(square root x times y^2)
Alex Ar [27]
0.5u + 2v. This is because u can separate the logs to ln(sqrx) + ln(y^2) and use basic log principles to get 0.5lnx +2lny. Then u substitute

A right triangle has one angle that measures 30°. What is the measure of the other acute angle?
Leto [7]

Answer:

60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a right triangle is 90 degrees

We have one angle given of 30 degrees

90 degrees - 30 degrees (known angle) = 60 degrees (unknown angle)

Therefore the unknown angle is 60
