Question

determine whether the statement is true or false. if the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. when working problems involving probability with permutations, the denominators of the probability fractions consist of the total number of possible permutations. choose the correct answer below. a. the statement is true. b. the statement is false. when working problems involving probability with combinations, the numerators of the probability fractions consist of the total number of possible permutations. c. the statement is false. when working problems involving probability with combinations, the denominators of the probability fractions consist of the total number of possible permutations. d. the statement is false. when working problems involving probability with permutations, the numerators of the probability fractions consist of the total number of possible permutations.

Explanation:

In probability problems involving permutations, the formula for probability is \(P=\frac{\text{number of favorable permutations}}{\text{total number of possible permutations}}\). So the denominator of the probability fraction is the total number of possible permutations.

Answer:

A. The statement is true.
