A chance with probability 1 is certain to happen true or false

1 answer:

3 0

Probability always adds up to 1 so, if there is only one choice, the chance that it will happen is 100% (1 out of 1) so true

Hope this helps! :)

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

47.75 + x Less-than-or-equal-to 50

= 47.75 + x ≤ 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the above Question:

Not going over the 50 pound case mean, less than or equal to 50 pounds

Let the extra pound of weight be represented as x

Hence, the inequality equation that can be used to determine how much more weight can be added to the suitcase without going over the 50-pound weight limit =

47.75 + x ≤ 50

The offices of president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer for an environmental club will be filled from a pool of 15c

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

a) 5.13% probability that all of the offices are filled by members of the debate team

b) 2.56% probability that none of the offices are filled by members of the debate team

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the people are chosen is important, since the first person is the president, the second is the vice president and so on... So we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

$P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}$

(a) What is the probability that all of the offices are filled by members of the debate team?

Desired outcomes:

4(president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer) offices from a set of 8(candidates of the members debate team).

$D = P_{(8,4)} = \frac{8!}{(8-4)!} = 1680$

Total outcomes:

4 offices from a set of 15 candidates.

$T = P_{(15,4)} = \frac{15!}{(15-4)!} = 32760$

Probability:

$P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1680}{32760} = 0.0513$

5.13% probability that all of the offices are filled by members of the debate team

(b) What is the probability that none of the offices are filled by members of the debate team?

Desired outcomes:

4(president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer) offices from a set of 7(candidates who are not of the members debate team).

$D = P_{(7,4)} = \frac{7!}{(7-4)!} = 840$

Total outcomes:

4 offices from a set of 15 candidates.

$T = P_{(15,4)} = \frac{15!}{(15-4)!} = 32760$

Probability:

$P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{840}{32760} = 0.0256$

2.56% probability that none of the offices are filled by members of the debate team
