Eight new graduates are hired by an engineering firm. Each is assigned at random to one of eight cubicles arranged in a row in the back of the room that houses the engineering staff. Two of the graduates are Bill and Cathy. What is the probability that they are assigned adjacent cubicles

the probability that they are assigned adjacent cubicles is  1 ÷ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

There is 8 new graduates are hired

2 of the graduates are bill and cathy

And, each one is assigned on random basis

We need to find out the probability

So,

= (2) (7!) ÷ (8!)

= (2) ÷ (8)

= 1 ÷ 4

Hence, the probability that they are assigned adjacent cubicles is  1 ÷ 4

The same would be relevant

i think the amount would be $140.62

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
