Answer:
(a) 0.4242
(b) 0.0707
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of ways of selecting 8 herbs from 12 is

(a) If 2 herbs are selected, then there are 8 - 2 = 6 herbs to be selected from 12 - 8 = 10. The number of ways of the selection is then

Note that this is the number of ways that both are included. We would have multiplied by 2! if any of them were to be included.
The probability = 
(b) If 5 herbs are selected, then there are 8 - 5 = 3 herbs to be selected from 12 - 5 = 7. The number of ways of the selection is then

This is the number of ways that both are included. We would have multiplied by 5! if any of them were to be included. In that case, our probability will exceed 1; this implies that certainly, at least, one of them is included.
The probability = 
Yes they are equivalent. You get -3 when you try solving the actual equation.

Answer:
Properties of a normal distribution
The mean, mode and median are all equal.
The curve is symmetric at the center (i.e. around the mean, μ).
Exactly half of the values are to the left of center and exactly half the values are to the right.
The total area under the curve is 1.
