wrong there is no way a question pertaining to combination and permutation will be having such decimal answers
Isn't it a probability problem?

Really? I was actually asking because I didn't know.

Anyway, thanks for teaching us that permutation and combination problems can't have decimal answers.

thanks bro but can you solve it using the normal probability method not permutation and combination
Re: Solution To A Mathematics Question Needed by Kylekent59: 7:14pm On Mar 21, 2019
dunsin, GeoAfrikana the question is in probability, so the answers matche the two questions A and B.


Understand a question before solving it.


Combination is used to solve a probability problem and the answer can be in decimal.


This is a probability question and it suits each of the answers.

But am gonna give u what u want.
