<u>The full question:</u>
<em>"A committee has eleven members. there are 3 members that currently serve as the boards chairman, ranking members, and treasurer. each member is equally likely to serve in any of the positions. Three members are randomly selected and assigned to be the new chairman, ranking member, and treasurer. What is the probability of randomly selecting the three members who currently hold the positions of chairman, ranking member, and treasurer and reassigning them to their current positions?"</em>

The permutation of choosing 3 members from a group of 11 would be:
P(n,r) = 
Where n would be the total [in this case n is 11] & r would be 3
Which is:
P(11,3) = 
So there are total of 990 possible way and there is ONLY ONE WAY for them to be reassigned. Hence the probability would be:
1/990
Answer: 7 Switches will be made.
Step-by-step explanation:
number of switches
number of switches
- however you cannot have a fraction of a switch so you must round it to a whole number, which in this case is 7.
Answer: 6 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The diameter is 2x the radius
2 x 3 = 6
Answer:
amount of nuts = 2 pounds
amount of dried fruit = 4 pounds
Explanation:
We are given that x is the amount of nuts and y is the amount of dried fruit.
We are also given that:
1- Hunter needs to make 6 pounds of trail mix. This means that:
x + y = 6
This can be rewritten as:
x = 6 - y .........> equation I
2- x costs $4 per pound, y costs $3.5 and Hunter can spend a total of $22. This means that:
4x + 3.5y = 22 ..........> equation II
Substitute with equation I in equation II and solve for y as follows:
4x + 3.5y = 22
4(6-y) + 3.5y = 22
24 - 4y + 3.5y = 22
24-22 = 4y-3.5y
2 = 0.5y
y = 4 pounds
Substitute with y in equation I to get the value of x as follows:
x = 6-y
x = 6-4
x = 2 pounds
Hope this helps :)
