Respuesta :

Answer:

A. 0.3204

B. 0.59049

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

The total number of combinations:

= [tex](10)^5=100000[/tex]

A.

The number of ways = [tex]10*9*8*7=30240[/tex]

                                                                           [tex]\frac{30240}{100000}[/tex]

The probability for an event P taking place = [tex]=0.3024[/tex]

B.

Number of ways to arrange the subjects = [tex](9)^4=59049[/tex]

                             [tex]\frac{59049}{100000}[/tex]

The probability = [tex]=0.59049[/tex]
