Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Across 30 years:

30*40,005 = 1,200,150

The earnings gap over a 30-year career, when comparing men and women, is $1,200,150

Zina [12379]
<span>The outcome = probability of choosing exactly 2, 3, 4, or 5 passing plays. The probability of selecting exactly two passing plays is given by: (8C2)*(9*8)* (15*14*13*12*11*10) /(26*28*.....19) where: 8C2 represents the combinations of choosing two from 8 and probability that the first passing play is selected = 9/26 probability that the second passing play is chosen = 10/25, and so forth you can similarly calculate the other three scenarios and sum them to find the total probability.</span>
