There are 7 students in a class: 2 boys and 5 girls.
If the teacher picks a group of 3 at random, what is the probability that everyone in the group is a girl?

Step-by-step explanation:

There are

7

students in a class,

5

boys and

2

girls.

If the teacher picks a group of

4

at random, what is the probability that everyone in the group is a boy?

Probability:

The probability of choosing

a

boys from a group of

n

students is given by

a

n

. If the number of boys to be chosen are less than

a

let's say

r

, we will have to consider all possible ways to select

r

boys from

a

. So the expression to calculate the probability becomes...

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
