Three statistics professors and seven chemistry professors are available to be advisors to a student organization. The student organization needs two of the professors to be advisors. If each professor has an equal chance of being selected, what is the probability that both professors are chemistry professors?

P[2qp] = 0,467      or    46,7 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of two of seven chemistry professors is equal to:

P[2 qp] = quantity of combinations of seven elements taken in groups of two, over total quantity of events, therefore

The total quantity of combinations is:

3 statistics professors + 7 chemistry professors taken in groups of 2 that is:

Te  = (3 + 7) ! / 2!*(10-2)!

Te = 9!/ 2!*5!        ⇒    Te = 9*8*7*6*5!/2!*8!    ⇒ Te = 9*8!/2*8!

Te = 45

And successful events are:

C₇,₂  =  7!/2!*(7-2)!

C₇,₂  = 21

Finally, the probability that both professors are chemistry professors is:

P[2qp] = 21/45

P[2qp] = 0,467      or    46,7 %

answer: i think it's a

step-by-step explanation:

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
