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}

1. Given the following relation, determine the inverse relation.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

1. a

2. f^{-1} (x)=\frac{x}{2} +2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since there is one value of y for every value of x in (−1,0),(−4,5),(3,2),(−3,5), this relation is a function.

2. To find the inverse, interchange the variables and solve for y.

f^{-1} (x)=\frac{x}{2} +2

What are the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum of the data set?
allochka39001 [22]
If we rearrange the given data set from lowest to highest, we have 
     3,\:6,\:7,\:8,\:10,\:12,\:15,\:18

The minimum is 3.

The first quartile is the average of 6 and 7, which is 6.5

The median is the average of 8 and 10 which is 9.

The third quartile is the average of 12 and 15 which is 13.5.

The maximum is 18.

For what value of a does (1/9)a+1 =81a+1 272-a?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

\left( \dfrac{1}{9}\right)^{a+1}= 81^{a+1}\cdot 27^{2-a}\\\\\\(3^{-2})^{a+1}=(3^4)^{a+1}\cdot (3^3)^{2-a} \\\\\\3^{-2a-2}=3^{4a+4}\cdot 3^{6-3a} \\\\\\3^{-2a-2}=3^{a+10} \\\\\\-2a-2=a+10 \\\\\\-3a=12 \\\\\\a=-4

Hope this helps!
