Answer:

5.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

The final probability is calculated by means of the quotient of the specific combinations and the total of total combinations

Let's start with the specific ones,

First the number of combinations of 4 of the 30 students getting a spot, i.e .:

A combinations are equal to:

nCx = n! / x! * (n-x)!

Replacing:

30C4 = 30! / (4! * 26!) = 27405

Segundo the number of combinations of the other audience members filling the other 4 (8-4) spots n = 110, 140 - 30

110C4 = 110! / (4! * 106!) = 5773185

Now the total combinations of possible 8 contestants from the audience

140C8 = 140! / (8! * 132!) = 2.98 * 10 ^ 12

Finally, the probability is equal to:

P = (30C4 * 110C4) / 140C8

replacing:

P = 27405 * 5773185 / 2.98 * 10 ^ 12

P = 0.053

Therefore the probability is 5.3%

Cuanto es la respuesta de -126=14k?
N76 [4]

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \text{k =   - 9}}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\star{ \text{ - 126 = 14k}}

\text{step \: 1 \: : Intercambia los lados de la ecuación}

\hookrightarrow{ \sf{14k =  - 126}}

\text{step \: 2 : Divide ambos lados por 14}

\hookrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{14k}{14}  =  \frac{ - 126}{14}}}

\text{step \: 3 \:  : Calcular}

\hookrightarrow{ \sf{k =  - 9}}

\text{el valor de k es  - 9}

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

Translation in English:

Step 1 : Swap the sides of the equation

Step 2 : Divide both sides by 14

Step 3 : Calculate
