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%

A facility has 150 beds and during a 30 day period they have 4,200 occupied bed days. What is their average percentage of occupa
natulia [17]

Answer:

Average percentage of occupancy = 93%.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a facility has 150 beds, then over a 30 day period they could have as many as 150 x 30 or 4,500 occupied beds.  Since over the given 30 day period they only had 4,200 occupied beds, we can find the average percentage of occupancy by dividing the actual number by the expected number and multiplying by 100:

\frac{actual}{expected} = \frac{4200}{4500} x 100 = 93%
