A group of seven kids line up in a random order. Each ordering of the kids is equally likely. There are three girls and four boy
1 answer:
Using the arrangements formula, it is found that there is a 0.0286 = 2.86% probability that all the girls are ahead of all the boys.
<h3>What is the arrangements formula?</h3>The number of possible arrangements of n elements is the factorial of n, that is:
.
The total number of outcomes is the arrangement of 7 elements, hence:
T = 7! = 5040.
The desired number of outcomes is all girls(3!), then all boys(4!), hence:
D = 3! x 4! = 6 x 24 = 144.
Hence, the probability is:
p = D/T = 144/5040 = 0.0286.
There is a 0.0286 = 2.86% probability that all the girls are ahead of all the boys.

Answer:
f(-3) = -20
Step-by-step explanation:
We observe that the given x-values are 3 units apart, and that the x-value we're concerned with is also 3 units from the first of those given. So, a simple way to work this is to consider the sequence for x = 6, 3, 0, -3. The corresponding sequence of f(x) values is ...
34, 10, -8, ?
The first differences of these numbers are ...
10 -34 = -24
-8 -10 = -18
And the second difference is ...
-18 -(-24) = 6
For a quadratic function, second differences are constant. This means the next first-difference will be ...
? -(-8) = -18 +6
? = -12 -8 = -20
The value of the function at x=-3 is -20.

The attachment shows using a graphing calculator to do a quadratic regression on the given points. The graph can then be used to find the point of interest. There are algebraic ways to do this, too, but they are somewhat more complicated than the 5 addition/subtraction operations we needed to find the solution. (Had the required x-value been different, we might have chosen a different approach.)
