A swim team must be chosen from 12 candidates. What is the greatest number of different 3-person teams that can be chosen?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 220 combinations

==========================================

Explanation:

We have 12*11*10 = 1320 permutations possible. This is where order matters. However, order does not matter with swim teams as there are no positions or ranks. All that matters is the group overall (rather than any individual in the group).

Consider the set {A,B,C}. We have 3*2*1 = 6 ways to arrange this set of letters. When considering a permutation, there are 6 permutations but only 1 combination since order doesnt matter and ABC is the same as BAC. Therefore, we divide 1320 over 6 to get the final answer of 1320/6 = 220.

---------

You can use the combination formula with n = 12 and r = 3. Doing so will give the following:

[tex]_n C _r = \frac{n!}{r!*(n-r)!}\\\\_{12} C _3 = \frac{12!}{3!*(12-3)!}\\\\_{12} C _3 = \frac{12!}{3!*9!}\\\\_{12} C _3 = \frac{12*11*10*9!}{3!*9!}\\\\_{12} C _3 = \frac{12*11*10}{3!}\\\\_{12} C _3 = \frac{12*11*10}{3*2*1}\\\\_{12} C _3 = \frac{1320}{6}\\\\_{12} C _3 = 220\\\\[/tex]

As you can see, we get the same result and note how 1320/6 is also present as well.

Answer 2

The greatest number of different 3-person teams that can be chosen is 220.

How many ways k things out of m different things (m ≥ k) can be chosen if order of the chosen things doesn't matter?

We can use combinations for this case,

The Total number of distinguishable things is m.

Out of those m things, k things are to be chosen such that their order doesn't matter.

This can be done in total of

[tex]^mC_k = \dfrac{m!}{k! \times (m-k)!} ways.[/tex]

So, total number of choices in that case would be:

[tex]^mP_k = k! \times ^mC_k = k! \times \dfrac{m!}{k! \times (m-k)!} = \dfrac{m!}{ (m-k)!}\\\\^mP_k = \dfrac{m!}{ (m-k)!}[/tex]

This is called permutation of k items chosen out of m items (all distinct).

Consider the set {A,B,C}.

3*2*1 = 6 ways to arrange this set of letters.

When considering a permutation, there are 6 permutations but only 1 combination since order doesnt matter and ABC is the same as BAC.

We can use the combination formula with n = 12 and r = 3.

[tex]^mC_k = \dfrac{m!}{k! \times (m-k)!} ways.\\\\^{12}C_3= \dfrac{12!}{3! \times (12-3)!} ways.\\\\\\^{12}C_3= \dfrac{12!}{3! \times (9)!} ways.\\\\^{12}C_3= \dfrac{12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9}{3! \times (9)!} ways.[/tex]

1320/6 = 220

Thus, the greatest number of different 3-person teams that can be chosen is 220.

The answer is probably-36

Step-by-step explanation:

If y = 6x - 3, which of the following sets represents possible inputs and outputs of the function, represented as ordered pairs {(0, 3), (1, -9), (2,-15) (0, -3), (2, 15), (4,21)} (0, -3). (2,9),(4,21)} {(0.3),(-2, 15), (4, 21)}

Answers

Answer : (0, -3) ; (4,21) and (2,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 6x- 3

y =0*x-3 = -3           (0,3) is not a possible set

y = 1*6-3 = 3            (1,-9)  is not a possible set

y = 6*2-3 = 9              (2,-15) is not a posiible set

(0.-3) is a possible set as verified in the first one

(2,15) is not a possible set since the output of 2 is 9

y = 4*6-3 = 21            so (4,21) is possible set

(2,9) is a possible set as verified in the third one

Answer:

  6(104) = 624

Step-by-step explanation:

The summation symbol ...

  [tex]\sum\limits_{n=1}^{104}{\text{expression}}[/tex]

means that the expression is evaluated for n=1, n=2, n=3, n=4, ... up to n=104 and all of those are added together. Here, the expression being evaluated is "6", which does not depend on n. So, this is simply the sum of 104 instances of 6:

  6 +6 +6 +6 ...+6 . . . . 104 terms in the sum

As we know, repeated addition can be accomplished by multiplication:

 = 6(104) = 624

A certain worker makes $12 per hour for the first 40 hours and $18 for every hour more than 40. Compute her pay for working 45 hours.

Answers

Answer: $570

Step-by-step explanation:

She worked 5 hours more than 40.  Thus, for her extra hours she made 18*5, or $90.  For her other 40, she made 40*12, or $480.  Thus, she made 480+90 dollars, or $570.

Hope it helps <3

Answer:

$570

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she is working 40 hours you need to multiply 12 · 40 first and should get 480

Since there is an extra 5 hours you need to do 18 · 5 = 90

Lastly, you add 480 and 90 and you will get 570

Using everyday knowledge, indicate whether the if-then statements are correct forward-only or both forward and reverse.

Statement 2: If the sprinklers are on, then the grass is wet.

Answers

Answer:

1. Both forward and backward

2. Only forward

Step-by-step explanation:

    The reason Statement 1 can be both forward and reverse is because is Bo and Mel are related then it will word forward and backward.

The reason Statement 2 can be only forward is because is the sprinklers are on then the grass is wet will work since it is saying ONLY the sprinklers are on. If it is reverse and the grass is wet if the sprinklers are ONLY on than that is false since if it rains than the grass can also be wet. So there are multiple ways that the grass can be wet hence the answers.

Answer:

Using everyday knowledge, indicate whether the if-then statements are correct forward-only or both forward and reverse. Statement 1: If Bo is Mel’s sibling, then Mel is Bo’s sibling. / Statement 2: If the sprinklers are on, then the grass is wet.

Hope this helps ^^

Answer:

119

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people who had taken the survey is 420 wich is equivalent to 100%.

The percentage of people who drink coffee is 85%.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Let x be the number of people drinking coffee

● 420 => 100%

● x => 85%

These values are proportional so we can cross-multiply them

● x*100 = 420*85

● x = (420*85)÷100

● x = 357

The number of people who drink coffee is 357.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Let y be the number of people who drink black coffee.

y is 1/3 of 357 since people who drink black coffee represent the third of the total number of people drinking coffee in general.

● To get y multiply 1/3 by the total number of people drinking coffee (357)

●y = (1/3)*357

● y = 119

119 is the number of people who drink black coffee

In this case, every time the x increases by one, the y value cuts in half which means the rate is .5 or one half.Therefore, the answer is 8(.5)^x
