A club is choosing 2 members to serve on a committee. The club has nominated 3 women and 3 men. Based on chance alone, what is the
probability no women are chosen to be on the committee?

The probability that no women are chosen to be in the committee is 2/5 or 0.40.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two positions, and we have 6 options for those positions, 3 are men, and 3 are women.

If we want to see the probability where no women are chosen, then this means that in the first selection a man is chosen.

If all the 6 nominees have the same probability of being chosen, then the probability that in the first selection a man is chosen is equal to the number of men divided the total number of nominees, this is:

p1 = 3/6 = 1/2.

Now the same happens for the second selection, but now we have 5 total nominees and 2 are men, so the probability now is:

p2 = 2/5

And the joint probability will be the product of the individual probabilities, then we have:

P = p1*p2 = (1/2)*(2/5)  = 2/5.

The probability that no women are chosen to be in the committee is 2/5 or 0.40.

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4        

-

  1           3        

7

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.

thus, the first answer choice, y = sec x, is the correct one
