Answer: 0.07

Step-by-step explanation:

in the group, we can have only 4 persons.

we have 8 boys, and 6 girls.

We want to find the probability that in the comite we have only boys.

Ok, for the first selection, the probability of selecting a boy is equal to the number of boys divided the total number of the group ( 8 + 6 = 14) this is

p1 = 8/14.

For the second selection we do the same, but we already slected a boy, so now the number of boys is 7, and the total number of posibilities is 13.

p2 = 7/13.

for the third selection we do the same, in this case the probability is

p3 = 6/12

for the fourth selection the probability will be:

p4 = 5/11

The joint probability, of all the events happening at the same time, is equal to the product of the singular probabilities:

P = p1*p2*p3*p4 = (8/14)*(7/13)*(6/12)*(5/11) = 0.07

A number is selected from the set (1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, 29, 38, 500). If equal elemental probabilities are assigned, what is
Katen [24]

Answer:

\frac{7}{9} OR 77.78%

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we first need to find out how many numbers fit the "less than 29 or odd" group.

This would be: 1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, and 29, which is a total of 7 numbers.

Next, we figure out the total amount of numbers in the population.

This would be: 1, 2, 3, 5, 15, 21, 29, 38, and 500, which is a total of 9 numbers.

Finally, we put the first number (7) over the total (9) = \frac{7}{9}

\frac{7}{9} is now able to be written in a percentage, if you need.

The probability is \frac{7}{9} OR 77.78%

Sindi borrowed an amount of money from his
PolarNik [594]

The present value of the loan is R576923.

<h3>What is compound interest ?</h3>

Compound interest is giving the current instalment in terms of the total previous amount.

The formula is given by

A = P(1 + r/100)ⁿ.

Where,

A = Amount, P = Principle, r = rate of interest, n = Time in years.

In case the compound if interest is given every two months that is 6 instalments each year the above given formula will be

A = P{ 1 + (r/6)/100 }⁶ⁿ.

According to the given question

Rate(r) = 7.5%

Time(n) = 6 years

The loan will be paid back in 6 years every second month and it is compounded.

∴ No. of instalments = (12 × 6)/2

= 36.

Now each instalments is of R25000

So, The total amount she has to pay back to his father is

= (25000 × 36)

= R900000.

We know compounding every two months is

A = P(1 + r/100)ⁿ

900000 = P{ 1 + (7.6/6)/100 }³⁶

900000 = P{ 1 + 1.25/100 } ³⁶

900000 = P(1.0125)³⁶

900000 = 1.56P

∴ P = 576923.
