Answer:
(a) 0.4242
(b) 0.0707
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of ways of selecting 8 herbs from 12 is

(a) If 2 herbs are selected, then there are 8 - 2 = 6 herbs to be selected from 12 - 8 = 10. The number of ways of the selection is then

Note that this is the number of ways that both are included. We would have multiplied by 2! if any of them were to be included.
The probability = 
(b) If 5 herbs are selected, then there are 8 - 5 = 3 herbs to be selected from 12 - 5 = 7. The number of ways of the selection is then

This is the number of ways that both are included. We would have multiplied by 5! if any of them were to be included. In that case, our probability will exceed 1; this implies that certainly, at least, one of them is included.
The probability = 
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept
the slope is the rate of change of the graph, basically rise/run (change in y divided by change in x)
the y intercept is where the graph intercepts the y axis
we usually use this form because we can find the slope and find where it hits the y axis.
there are other forms that may be helpful later on, but this one is usually the easiest form to find from a graph
