Algebra.Com's Answer #734512 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The denominator is 28C4, choosing 4 apartments at random from 28. \n" ); document.write( "The numerator is 20C4, choosing only the two bedroom apartments. The other part of the numerator would be the missing numbers 8C0, but 8C0=1, so it can be ignored. \n" ); document.write( "20C4/28C4=0.2366. \n" ); document.write( "The second will have numerator 20C2*8C2 with the same denominator. Notice that the pre-Cs in the numerator add up to 28 and the post-Cs add up to 4. \n" ); document.write( "probability is 0.2598. \n" ); document.write( "Can check by looking at the other three possibilities, 0,1,3 are two bedroom. \n" ); document.write( "Those probabilities are 0.0547 with numerator 20C1*8C3 \n" ); document.write( "and 0.0034 with numerator 20C0*8C4 \n" ); document.write( "0.4454 with numerator 20C3*8C1. \n" ); document.write( "Those add to 1. \n" ); document.write( " |
