x - y = 14

given the ratio x : y = 5 : 3

then let x = 5x and y = 3x, hence equation can be expressed as

5x + 3x = 56

8x = 56 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 7

Hence x = 5 × 7 = 35 and y = 3 × 7 = 21

Thus x - y = 35 - 21 = 14

How to know if a problem is permutation or combination?

A is situated 6 parts of the way between 1 and 2, that is

$\frac{6}{9}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ ← cancelling by 3

A = 1 + $\frac{2}{3}$ = 1 $\frac{2}{3}$ → A

Answer:

solution below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says 6 working mother's were selected so n = 6 not 0.6

We are expected to find

P(X = 0,1,2,3,4,4,6)

1. When x = 0

6C0*(0.34)⁰*(0.66)⁶

= 1 *1* 0.827

= 0.0827

2. When X = 1

6C1*(0.34)¹*(0.66)⁵

= 6 x 0.34 x 0.252

= 0.2555

3. When X = 2

6C2*(0.34)²*(0.66)⁴

= 15 x 0.1156 x 0.1897

= 0.3289

4. When x = 3

6C3*(0.34)³*(0.66)³

20 x 0.039304 x 0.2875

= 0.2599

5. When X = 4

6C4*(0.34)⁴*(0.66)²

= 15 x 0.01336 x 0.4356

= 0.8729

6. When x = 5

6C5*(0.34)⁵*(0.66)¹

= 6 x 0.0045 x 0.66

= 0.01782

7. When x = 6

6C6*(0.34)⁶*(0.66)⁰

1 x 0.0015 x 1

= 0.0015
