To solve this problem you must apply the proccedire shown above:

1. You have that the odds against an event E occurring are 12 to 3. Therefore, you have:

total outcomes=12+3=15

2. Then, you have that the probability of the event E occurring is:

1-12/15=1/5

The answer is: 1/5

What is the value of c in the equation?

yuradex [85]

Answer:

the value of c = 32.13

Step-by-step explanation:

all you had to do was take one of the options and divide it by 2.1 and you'll know you have to right answer when it equals 15.3 but just remember if you are dividing by a smaller number the numerator has to be a bigger number to be able to equal whatever is on the other side of the equals symbol.

sorry I'm bad at explaining but I hope this helps

Compute the permutation.

Anon25 [30]

So you have 8 digits (number available) to form 3 digit numbers (number selected).

Using the formula $^{a} P_{c}$ where a is the number of available digits, P is the permutation function and c is the number of digits to be selected.

The number of three digit numbers that can be formed = $^{8} P_{3}$
= 336

 O R

By using the formula $Permutation = \frac{a ! }{( a - c) !}$ where a is the number of available digits and c is the number of digits to be selected.

⇒ $Permutation = \frac{8 ! }{( 8 - 3) !}$

⇒ $Permutation = \frac{40, 320 }{120}$

⇒ Permutation = 336
