Answer:

147/572

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of combinations of  <em>n</em>  things chosen  <em>r</em>  at a time is

\binom{n}{r}=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}  (Some writers use the symbol _nC_r)

Choose 4 women from the 7:

\binom{7}{4}=\frac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=35  ways

Choose 3 men from 9:

\binom{9}{3}=\frac{9!}{3!(9-3)!}=84  ways

There are 35 x 84 = 2940 ways to choose both, out of

\binom{16}{7}=\frac{16!}{7!(16-7)!}=11440 ways to choose any 7 people from the group of 16.

Probability:

\frac{2940}{11440}=\frac{147}{572}

P.S. As an example of how to calculate combinations, here's the calculation (by hand, a calculator is easier!) of \binom{9}{3}.

\binom{9}{3}=\frac{9!}{3!(9-3)!}=\frac{9!}{3!6!}

When you write out the factorials, you can do a bunch of cancellation between the numerator and denominator.

\frac{9\cdot8\cdot7\cdot\cancel{6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}}{(3\cdot2\cdot1)(\cancel{6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1)}}=\frac{9\cdot8\cdot7}{3\cdot2\cdot1}=84

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

27.19% probability that a female driver was involved in an accident

Step-by-step explanation:

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

In this question:

74,250 car accidents. Of those, in 20,187, the driver was a female.

Based on this, what is the probability that a female driver was involved in an accident?

p = 20187/74250 = 0.2719

27.19% probability that a female driver was involved in an accident

Which of the following is not equivalent to 1?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because You would still have the Y value as the answer. When you raise a function to the 0 power you will ultimately get on. In this only the coefficient is being raised rather than the whole system.
