Answer:

a) The probability tree is constructed below

b) the probability that at least two women will be selected is 0.500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) The probability tree is as follows;

                                                 3 men, 3 women

                                                            ↓

           _______________________|________________________

            ↓                             ↓                                  ↓                               ↓

         3 men                    2 men                          1 man                        0 men

      0 women                1 woman                     2 woman                   3 women

b) the probability that at least two women will be selected

p( at least two women would be selected) = P( there are 2 women out of 3 ) + P( there 3 women out of 3

so

p( at least two women would be selected) = C

³C₂ × ³C₁ / ⁶C₃ + ³C₃³C₀ / ⁶C₃  

= 3!/(2!(3-2)!) × 3!/(1!(3-1)!)  / 6!/(3!(6-3)!) + 3!/(3!(3-3)!) × 3!/(0!(3-0)!) / 6!/3!(6-3)!)

= 3 × 3 / 20 + 1 ×  1 / 20

= 9/20 + 1/20

= 0.45 + 0.05

p( at least two women would be selected) = 0.500

Therefore, the probability that at least two women will be selected is 0.500

What is the slope of the line that has an x-intercept at x=12 and a y-intercept at y=−20?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The slope is 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(12,0)

(0,-20)

Changes in y is -20-0=-20

Changes in x is 0-12=-12

Rise(y) over run(x) = -20/-12

-5/-3

8.45 At some point in the season, the Unicorns had won 60% of their basketball games. After that point, they won 8 more games an
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The total number of games won by Unicorn is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We are given with a word problem
  • We are asked to find the number of unicorns played during the season
  • We can do this in two steps

         Step 1: Finding the win percentage

         Step 2: Finding the number of unicorns played during the season

Step 1 of 2

Let the number of games played by unicorn be x.The unicorn won 60% of the first x-10 games That is $\frac{60}{100} \times(x-10)$

Combining the 8 games we get,

$$\begin{gathered}\frac{60}{100}(x-10)+8=\frac{60}{100} \times x-\frac{60}{100} \times 10+8 \\0.6 x-6+8=0.6 x+2\end{gathered}$$

Step 2 of 2

The unicorn totally won 65% of the games played.

That is $\frac{65}{100} \times x=0.65 x$

Equating both the equation gives

$$\begin{gathered}0.6 x+2=0.65 x \\2=0.65 x-0.6 x \\2=0.05 x \\\frac{2}{0.05}=x \\40=x\end{gathered}$$
