Answer:

  0.3431

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, it can work well to consider the seeds from the group of 18 that are NOT selected to be part of the group of 15 that are planted.

There are 18C3 = 816 ways to choose 3 seeds from 18 NOT to plant.

We are interested in the number of ways exactly one of the 10 parsley seeds can be chosen NOT to plant. For each of the 10C1 = 10 ways we can ignore exactly 1 parsley seed, there are also 8C2 = 28 ways to ignore two non-parsley seeds from the 8 that are non-parsley seeds.

That is, there are 10×28 = 280 ways to choose to ignore 1 parsley seed and 2 non-parsley seeds.

So, the probability of interest is 280/816 ≈ 0.3431.

___

The notation nCk is used to represent the expression n!/(k!(n-k)!), the number of ways k objects can be chosen from a group of n. It can be pronounced "n choose k".

Candy Crunchers wants to see if their new candy is enjoyed more by high school or middle school students. They decide to visit o
umka21 [38]
The sample % of these two populations would be 100/size (of student body at each school) x 100 so this would compare the two student bodies preferences for the particular type of candy bar. However, the actual % of the whole student body at each school would be a factor also. If the high school only had 200 students then this would be 50% representative but if the middle school had say 500 students this would only be 20% representative so this would have to be taken into account too. It might be more representative to have the same % of the student bodies respectively for the sample.

The cost for making a telephone call from Vero beach to Miami is 37 cents for The first 3 minutes and 9 cents per each additiona
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

  $0.90

Step-by-step explanation:

A 10-minute call exceeds the 3-minute initial period by 7 minutes. The initial period charge is 37¢. The additional minute charge is 7·9¢ = 63¢. Then the regular charge for that call is ...

  37¢ +63¢ = 100¢ = $1.00

The 10% discount reduces the charge by ...

  10% × $1.00 = $0.10

so the final cost of the 10-minute call is ...

  $1.00 -0.10 = $0.90 . . . . . cost of the call
