Answer:

180 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Aerospace companies (A) = 5

Energy development companies (D) = 3

Electronics companies (E) = 4

Number of aerospace stocks bought (a) = 2

Number of Energy development stocks bought (d) = 2

Number of Electronics stocks bought (e) = 2

The number of ways that the investor can select his six investments from the recommended list is given by the combination of picking two out five aerospace companies, multiplied by picking two out three energy development companies, multiplied by picking two out four electronics companies:

n=\frac{5!}{(5-2)!2!}*\frac{3!}{(3-2)!2!}*\frac{4!}{(4-2)!2!}\\  n=10*3*6\\n=180\ ways

There are 180 ways for the investor to select the six companies.

IF P(A)=1/3, P(B)=2/5, and P(AuB)=3/5, what is P(A^B)?
Bumek [7]

The probability of the union of two events is the sum of their probability, minus the probability of their interserction:

P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)

If we plug the known values into this formula, we have

\dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{2}{5} - P(A\cap B)

From which we can deduce

P(A\cap B) = \dfrac{1}{3} + \dfrac{2}{5} - \dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{2}{15}

So, the probability of A \setminus B is a bit less than P(A), we have to take away all events that belong to B as well:

P(A \setminus B) = P(A) - P(A\cap B) = \dfrac{1}{3} - \dfrac{2}{15} = \dfrac{1}{5}
