Answer:

(a)\dfrac{92}{117}

(b)\dfrac{8}{39}

(c)\dfrac{25}{117}

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Men, n(M)=24

Number of Women, n(W)=3

Total Sample, n(S)=24+3=27

Since you cannot appoint the same person twice, the probabilities are <u>without replacement.</u>

(a)Probability that both appointees are men.

P(MM)=\dfrac{24}{27}X \dfrac{23}{26}=\dfrac{552}{702}\\=\dfrac{92}{117}

(b)Probability that one man and one woman are appointed.

To find the probability that one man and one woman are appointed, this could happen in two ways.

  • A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
  • A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.

P(One man and one woman are appointed)=P(MW)+P(WM)

=(\dfrac{24}{27}X \dfrac{3}{26})+(\dfrac{3}{27}X \dfrac{24}{26})\\=\dfrac{72}{702}+\dfrac{72}{702}\\=\dfrac{144}{702}\\=\dfrac{8}{39}

(c)Probability that at least one woman is appointed.

The probability that at least one woman is appointed can occur in three ways.

  • A man is appointed first and a woman is appointed next.
  • A woman is appointed first and a man is appointed next.
  • Two women are appointed

P(at least one woman is appointed)=P(MW)+P(WM)+P(WW)

P(WW)=\dfrac{3}{27}X \dfrac{2}{26}=\dfrac{6}{702}

In Part B, P(MW)+P(WM)=\frac{8}{39}

Therefore:

P(MW)+P(WM)+P(WW)=\dfrac{8}{39}+\dfrac{6}{702}\\$P(at least one woman is appointed)=\dfrac{25}{117}

Find the integer that makes this subtraction statement true -3 - ? = -5
Elenna [48]

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{2}}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the missing integer be x

Solve for x

\sf{ - 3 - x =  - 5}

Move 3 to right hand side and change it's sign

\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ - x =  - 5 + 3}}

The negative and positive integers are always subtracted but posses the sign of the bigger integer

\dashrightarrow{ \sf{ - x =  - 2}}

Change the signs of both sides

\dashrightarrow{ \boxed{ \sf{x = 2}}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
