Answer:
P( top two horses are predicted incorrectly in incorrect order)
=
Step-by-step explanation:
In the horse race the outcome can be predicted in 5! = 120 ways.
Now suppose the top two horses were predicted incorrectly in incorrect order. Now, the top horse can be predicted incorrectly in 4 ways.
Suppose the top horse was predicted to be in k-th position where k = 2, 3 ,4,5
so the second horse can be predicted to be in place from 1 to (k - 1)
So, the top two horses can be predicted incorrectly in incorrect order
in = 10 ways
and for each prediction of the two the remaining horses may be predicted in 3! = 6 ways.
Hence ,
P( top two horses are predicted incorrectly in incorrect order)
=
=
Answer:
The simplified form of given expression is 3/5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is
We need to find the product of two factions using diagram.
For 3/4, draw a box and divide it in 4 equal parts by using vertical lines. The color three parts of it.
For 4/5, draw a box and divide it in 5 equal parts by using horizontal lines. Then color the four parts of it.
Now combined both boxes and shown below.
From the below figure it is clear that
The number of common shaded small boxes = 12
Total number of small boxes = 20
The required fraction is
Cancel out common factor.
Therefore, the simplified form of given expression is 3/5.
