Answer:
(b)0.56
(c)0.38
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
P(Ben Pass) =0.8
Therefore: P(Ben fails)=1-0.8 =0.2
P(Tom Pass) =0.7
Therefore: P(Tom fails)=1-0.7 =0.3
See attached for the completed tree diagram
(b)Probability that both will pass
P(both will pass)=P(Ben pass and Tom pass)
=P(Ben pass) X P(Tom pass)
=0.8 X 0.7
=0.56
(c)The probability that only one of them will pass
Since either Tom or Ben can pass, we have:
P(only one of them will pass)
=P(Ben pass and Tom fails OR Ben Fails and Tom Pass)
=P(Ben pass and Tom fails)+P(Ben Fails and Tom Pass)
=(0.8 X 0.3) + (0.2 X 0.7)
=0.24 + 0.14
=0.38
Answer:
The team can be formed in 756 different ways
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a combination problem since we are to select a set of people from a group. Combination has to do with selection.
for example, if r number of object is to be selected from a pool of n objects, this can be done in nCr number of ways.

Now If A company has 7 male and 9 female employees, and needs to nominate 2 men and 2 women for the company bowling team, then this can be done in the following way;


7C2 * 9C2 = 21*36
= 756
The team can be formed in 756 different ways

You add it in your mind.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
D. x2 + x - 20.
Step-by-step explanation:
(x – 4)(x + 5).
= x(x + 5) -4(x + 5).
= x2 + 5x – 4x – 20.
= x2 + x - 20.
