Answer:

\frac{1}{4845} probability that you and your 3 friends will be selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

In this question, the order in which the volunteers are chosen is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Desired outcomes:

You and the 3 friends(4 people), from a set of 4. So

D = C_{4,4} = \frac{4!}{4!0!} = 1

Total outcomes:

20 people from a set of 20. So

T = C_{20,4} = \frac{20!}{4!16!} = 4845

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{1}{4845}

\frac{1}{4845} probability that you and your 3 friends will be selected.

Hey guys, I'm relearning some Algebra and was confused about this problem. In the equation, the problem was divided by 3. This m
spayn [35]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The signs didn't really "swap". Instead, the whole function was divided by -1, or we could say the function was divided by -3. That would turn:

-18x² - 15x + 3 = 0

into

(-18 / -3)x² - (15 / -3)x + (3 / -3) = 0

6x² + 5x - 1 = 0

And that gives the "swapped signs".
