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.

Which set of ordered pairs could be generated by an exponential function?
klemol [59]

Answer: Third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, Exponential functions have the following form:

y = ab^x

Where "b" is the base (b > 0 and b\neq 1), "a" is a coefficient (a\neq 0) and "x" is the exponent.

 It is importat to remember that the "Zero exponent rule" states that  any base with an exponent of 0 is equal to 1.

Then, for an input value 0 (x=0) the output value (value of "y") of the set of ordered pairs that could be generated by an exponential function must be 1 (y=1).

You can observe in the Third option shown in the image that when x=0, y=1

 Therefore, the set of ordered pairs that could be generated by an exponential function is the set shown in the Third option.

Complete the function table below function<br> f(x) = 6x -3
taurus [48]
When x is equal to -1:
f(-1)=6(-1)-3
=-7-3
=-10
y=-10

When x is equal to 0:
f(0)=6(0)-3
=0-3
=-3
y=-3

When x is equal to 1:
f(1)=6(1)-3
=6-3
=3
y=3

When x is equal to 2:
f(2)=6(2)-3
=12-3
=9
y=9
