Answer:
Part 1: There are 4.7*10^21 ways to select 40 volunteers in subgroups of 10
Part 2: The research board can be chosen in 32760 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1:
The number of ways in which we can organized n elements into k groups with size n1, n2,...nk is calculate as:

So, in this case we can form 4 subgroups with 10 participants each one, replacing the values of:
- n by 40 participants
- k by 4 groups
- n1, n2, n3 and n4 by 10 participants of every subgroups
We get:

Part 2:
The number of ways in which we can choose k element for a group of n elements and the order in which they are chose matters is calculate with permutation as:

So in this case there are 4 offices in the research board, those are director, assistant director, quality control analyst and correspondent. Additionally this 4 offices are going to choose from a group of 5 doctors.
Therefore, replacing values of:
- n by 15 doctors
- k by 4 offices
We get:

Mike tosses 70%
Ike tosses 67%
Both tosses 50%
<span>Which of the following is closest to the probability that Ike's proportion is ringers is higher than Mike's for those tosses?
</span>
P(m) = 70/100
P(i) = 67/100
P(b) = 50/100
= P(b) * P(i)
= 50/100 * 67/100
= 0.335
The correct answer is letter D) 0.3745.
When expanding number, we should separate the numbers according to the places like the number 275 written in expanded form 200+70+5. So, in this question we must likely done like this. The number is 39,005 the sum that is written on expanded form is 30,000+9,000+5.
