Answer:

6 / 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of people = 8

Number of people to be chosen = 3

Hence, total possible outcomes = 8C3 (since order does not matter)

Recall:

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)!r!

8C3 = 8! ÷ 5!3!

8C3 = (8*7*6) / (3*2*1) = 56

Required outcome :

I and my friend plus one other person

I and my friend = 2C2

1 person from the remaining 6 = 6C1

Required outcome :

2C2 * 6C1 = 1 * 6 = 6

P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

= 6 / 56

Here, the equation has the variable in the numerator of the terms in which it appears, so the equation is not a fractional equation. It is not equating two fractions, so is not a proportion. It contains fractions, so it is an ...
