Answer:

a)Probability that all four are seniors is 0.0003102

b)Probability of getting one each is 0.00369

c)Probability of picking 2 sophomores and 2 freshers is 0.00889

d)Probability of at least one senior is .4963

Step-by-step explanation:

total  no persons = summing up the no of people present, that is, 20+20+10+15= 65

a) Probability that all four are seniors is given by Pr( all seniors)

Pr(all seniors) =

?\frac{10}[65}*\frac{9}{64}*\frac{8}{63}*\frac{7}{62} =0.0003102

The probability of an event is defined to be the ratio of the number of cases favorable to the event to the total number of cases

 The event in question is mutually dependent in that each event depends on the former

You would notice that the total no of people were reducing with each selection. That means that taking out one senior reduced the total no of students as well as the events

b)  Probability of getting one each = Pr(1 senior)*Pr(1 sophomore)*Pr(1 freshman)*Pr(1 junior)

Pr(1 senior) = 10/64

Pr(1 junior)= 15/63

Pr(1 sophomore) = 20/62

Pr (1 freshman) = 20/61

Therefore pr(1 each)= frac{10}[65}*\frac{15}{64}*\frac{20}{63}*\frac{20}{62} =0.00369

Same explanation in a applies

C) Probability of picking 2 sophomores and 2 freshers = Pr(1 sophmore)*Pr( 2nd sophmore)*Pr(1 fresher)*Pr ( 2nd fresher)

Pr(1 sophmore)= 20/64

Pr ( 2nd sophmore)=19/63

Pr ( 1 fresher)=20/64

Pr ( 2nd fresher)=19/64

Pr(2 sophomores and freshers) = frac{20}[65}*\frac{19}{64}*\frac{20}{63}*\frac{19}{62} =0.00889

d) Probability of at least one senior = 1- Probability(no senior)

No of players without the seniors = 55

Pr(no senior) = probability of choosing 4 out of 55 people divided by the probability of choosing 5 out of 65= 55C4/65C4 =0.5037

Where C means combination

Therefore probability of atleast one senior = 1- .5037= .4963

Hii can someone explain to me how to do this? tyvm
Snezhnost [94]

Step-by-step explanation:

it's late but I hope it helps :)

imagine that the > symbol is just an equal sign

so for example

x+2>4

will look like

x+2=4

and you solve normally

×=2

now we bring the symbol back

x>2

but if you multiple or divide by a negative the sign flips

so say you have

-2x>4

make it into

-2x=4

solve

x=-2

but instead of >

you put

x < -2

Robin says that polynomials are closed under division. Brad adamantly disagrees. Who is correct? Justify your answer.
serious [3.7K]
Brad is correct.

Polynomials do not include negative exponents; this means there can be no variables in the denominator.  If two polynomials do not divide evenly, the remainder is written as a fraction with the divisor (which can include a variable) in the denominator.  This is not a polynomial.

Write the equation of the given line in slope intercept form (2,3) (8,6)
Dominik [7]

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope:

6 - 3 / 8 - 2 = 3 / 6 = 1/2

start by putting it in point slope form and then simplify it to slope intercept form:

y - 3 = 1/2(x - 2)

y - 3 = 1/2x - 1

y = 1/2x + 2

Use the expression -3/7+10
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a. Jake told the negative value of the expression which cannot be equivalent to the original expression.

b. 10 - $ \frac{\textbf{3}}{\textbf{7}} $ g

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The given expression is: $ \frac{-3}{7}g + 10 $

Multiplying through out by -, we get:

$ - 10 + \frac{3}{7}g $ which was the expression given by Jake. Since, it is the negative of the original one, they cannot be equivalent.

b. $ -\frac{3}{7}g + 10 = 10 - \frac{3}{7}g $

$ = \frac{70 - 3g}{7} $

Hence, the answer.
