Answer:
7 / 17 ;
10 / 17 ;
5 / 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Guests :
Mother = 1
Aunts = 3
Uncles = 3
Brothers = 4
Male cousin = 1
Female cousin = 5
_________________
Total guests = 17
Since each of the guests have an equal probability of arrival :
Probability that first guest to arrive :
Brother or uncle :
Number of brothers =4
Number of uncles = 3
P(brother or uncle) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
Required outcome (number of brothers + uncles) = (4 + 3) = 7
Total possible outcomes = total guests = 17
P(brother or uncle) = 7 / 17
2.)
P(brother or cousin) :
Required outcome = (number of brothers + cousins) = (4 + 1 + 5) = 10
Total possible outcomes = total guests = 17
P(brother or cousin) = 10/17
3.)
P(brother or mother) ;
Required outcome = (number of brothers + mother) = (4+1) = 5
Total possible outcomes = total guests = 17
P(brother or mother) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes = 5 / 17
