Since the sum of all probabilities of all all elementary events will always be equal to 1. Furthermore, the probabilities of all mutually exclusive set of events that is part of the entire sample space will always be total of 1.
So in the problem, the answer is 1/8.
1/8 for red + 3/8 for green + 3/8 for yellow + 1/8 for blue = 8/8 or 1.
If the number of trials is changed the number of experimental outcomes also changes
Answer: a.) 40320
b.) 336
Step-by-step explanation:
since we have 8 possible positions, with 8 different candidates, then there are 8 possible ways of arranging the first position, 7 possible ways of arranging the Second position, 6 ways of arranging the 3rd position, 5 possible ways od arranging the 4th position, 4 possible ways of arranging the 5th position, 3 possible ways of arranging the 6th position, 2 possible ways of arranging the 7th position and just one way of arranging the 8th position since we have only one person left.
Hence, the Number of possible sample space for different 8 positions is by multiplying all the number of ways we have in our sample space which becomes:
8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 40320.
b.) By the sample space we have, since we've been asked ti arrange for only the firat 3 positions, then we multiply just for the first 3ways of choosing the positions, this becomes:
8*7*6 = 336
The answer will be 4 weeks. You know the constant is 1.5 lbs per week and you will multiply that by however many weeks it takes to reach 176
197-(1.5x) would be your equation and since he’s already lost 15 pounds you will include that by subtracting 15 from the equation as well 197-(1.5(4))=191
191-15=176
