Ateam of 10 players is to be selected from a class of 6 girls and 7 boys. match each scenario to its probability. you have to drag the sentences to match probabilities.

possible probabilities are:
0.07
0.12
0.44
0.49

options for answers are:
the probability that a randomly chosen team includes all 6 girls in the class.
the probability that a randomly chosen team has 3 girls and 7 boys.
the probability that a randomly chosen team has either 4 or 6 boys.
the probability that a randomly chosen team has 5 girls and 5 boys.

The selection of r objects out of n is done in

$C(n, r)= \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$ many ways.

The total number of selections 10 that we can make from 6+7=13 students is

$C(13,10)= \frac{13!}{3!(10)!}= \frac{13*12*11*10!}{3*2*1*10!}= \frac{13*12*11}{3*2}= 286$
thus, the sample space of the experiment is 286

A.
"The probability that a randomly chosen team includes all 6 girls in the class."

total number of group of 10 which include all girls is C(7, 4), because the girls are fixed, and the remaining 4 is to be completed from the 7 boys, which can be done in C(7, 4) many ways.

$C(7, 4)= \frac{7!}{4!3!}= \frac{7*6*5*4!}{4!*3*2*1}= \frac{7*6*5}{3*2}=35$

P(all 6 girls chosen)=35/286=0.12

B.
"The probability that a randomly chosen team has 3 girls and 7 boys."

with the same logic as in A, the number of groups were all 7 boys are in, is

$C(6, 3)= \frac{6!}{3!3!}= \frac{6*5*4*3!}{3!3!}= \frac{6*5*4}{3*2*1}=20$

so the probability is 20/286=0.07

C.
"The probability that a randomly chosen team has either 4 or 6 boys."

case 1: the team has 4 boys and 6 girls

this was already calculated in part A, it is 0.12.

case 2, the team has 6 boys and 4 girls.

there C(7, 6)*C(6, 4) ,many ways of doing this, because any selection of the boys which can be done in C(7, 6) ways, can be combined with any selection of the girls.

$C(7, 6)*C(6, 4)= \frac{7!}{6!1}* \frac{6!}{4!2!} =7*15= 105$

the probability is 105/286=0.367

since case 1 and case 2 are disjoint, that is either one or the other happen, then we add the probabilities:

0.12+0.367=0.487 (approximately = 0.49)

D.
"The probability that a randomly chosen team has 5 girls and 5 boys."

selecting 5 boys and 5 girls can be done in

$C(7, 5)*C(6,5)= \frac{7!}{5!2} * \frac{6!}{5!1}=21*6=126$

many ways,

so the probability is 126/286=0.44

Answer from: Quest

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2 is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes. our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)

A. write an equation of a line that passes through (-2, 5). b. how many different equations could y
