You need at least nine decimal places on this problem. You may want to use fractions instead. There are 8 candidates for a position. The candidates are interviewed independently by each member of a committee that has 5 people on it. A candidate will be hired if she is chosen by at least 4 members of the committee. In reality, the committee members cannot really distinguish among the candidates and just choose at random with no biases. What is the probability that a candidate will be selected with a unanimous vote (all committee members choose the same person)? 5/16 What is the probability that a candidate will be selected with only one dissenting vote (all but one committee members choose the same person)? What is the probability that a candidate will be selected?

Step-by-step explanation:What is the probability that a candidate will be selected with a

unanimous vote (all committee members choose the same

person)?

=6/(6^5)

=1/(6^4.)

2 What is the probability that a candidate will be selected with only

one dissenting vote (all but one committee members choose the

same person)?

=5 ∗ (1/6)^4 ∗ (5/6) ∗ 6.

=25/(6^4)

3 What is the probability that a candidate will be selected?

=5 ∗ (1/6)^4 ∗ (5/6) ∗ 6 +1/(6^4)

=25/(6^4) +1/(6^4)

=(25+1)/(6^4)

=26/(6^4)

answer: 370

step-by-step explanation:

remember use pemdas! there are no parentheses or exponents so lets move onto the first part of the equation: multiplication and division. first, lets break the first part of the equation up into something easier using the distributive property. 28 * 12= (20 *12) + (8*12) you know that 20*12 is 240 and 8*12 is 96. add them and you get 336. then, lets solve the last part of the equation (the last part of pemdas is addition and subtraction). 336 plus 34 is 370. hope this !

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
