Answer:

165.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since repetition isn't allowed, there would be 11 choices for the first donut, (11 - 1) = 10 choices for the second donut, and (11 - 2) = 9 choices for the third donut. If the order in which donuts are placed in the bag matters, there would be 11 \times 10 \times 9 unique ways to choose a bag of these donuts.

In practice, donuts in the bag are mixed, and the ordering of donuts doesn't matter. The same way of counting would then count every possible mix of three donuts type 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6 times.

For example, if a bag includes donut of type x, y, and z, the count 11 \times 10 \times 9 would include the following 3 \times 2 \times 1 arrangements:

  • xyz.
  • xzy.
  • yxz.
  • yzx.
  • zxy.
  • zyx.

Thus, when the order of donuts in the bag doesn't matter, it would be necessary to divide the count 11 \times 10 \times 9 by 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6 to find the actual number of donut combinations:

\begin{aligned} \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 165\end{aligned}.

Using combinatorics notations, the answer to this question is the same as the number of ways to choose an unordered set of 3 objects from a set of 11 distinct objects:

\begin{aligned}\begin{pmatrix}11 \\ 3\end{pmatrix} &= \frac{11 !}{(11 - 3)! \times 3 !} \\ &= \frac{11 !}{8 ! \times 3 !} \\ &= \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 165\end{aligned}.

Write the standard equation of the circle shown.
zysi [14]

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle centred at the origin is

x² + y² = r² ← r is the radius

The circle shown is centred at the origin and has a radius of 5, thus

x² + y² = 5² ⇒ x² + y² = 25 → b

Pls help I don’t understand
dmitriy555 [2]

The answer is c. \frac{46}{9}

a. \frac{11}{5}=2.2 (2.2≠5.11) (2.2 is not equal to 5.11)

b. 5\frac{1}{8}=\frac{5}{8} or 0.625 (0.625≠5.11) (0.625 is not equal to 5.11)

c. \frac{46}{9} =5.11 (5.11=5.11) (5.11 is equal to 5.11)

Therefore c is the answer

Need some help with this
kramer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of outcomes the two fair number cubes are thrown is 36. This can be seen by counting the outcomes shown on the table.

a) for a sum of 4, there are only 3 possible outcomes. They are 3,2 2,2 and 1,3

Therefore, the probability of getting a sum of 4 will be

3/36 = 1/12

b) for a sum of 5, there are only 4 possible outcomes. They are 4,1 3,2 2,3 and 1,4

Therefore, the probability of getting a sum of 4 will be

4/36 = 1/9

c)for a sum of 6, there are only 5 possible outcomes. They are 5,1 4,2 3,3 2,4 and 1,5

Therefore, the probability of getting a sum of 6 will be

5/36 = 5/36

The probability that the sum of the results of the throw is 4,5 or 6 would be

1/12 + 1/9 + 5/36 = (3 + 4 + 5)/36 = 12/36 = 1/3
