The smallest positive integer n so that you can avoid ever having the exact same group of three members over all 365 days is; 11

<h3>How to solve probability combination?</h3>

if we have n people and we want to do groups of 5, the total number of different combinations is:

ⁿC₅ = n!/((n - 5)!5!)

By using the Brute force method, we have;

If n = 5,

c = 5,

Thus;

C₅ = 5

If n = 6,

c = 6,

Thus;

C₅ = 6

If n = 7,

c = 7,

Thus

C₅ = 21

If n = 8,

c = 8,

Then;

C₅ = 56

Now, If n = 9,

C = 9!/((9 - 5)!5!)

C = 126

We want to find the smallest n such that c > 365. Thus, C = 126 is too small.

Let's try n = 11;

C = 11!/(6! * 5!) =  462

This is greater than 365 and so we need at least 11 members in the club.

How many even intergers greater than two and less then twenty are equal in value to the sum of two prime numbers?
lilavasa [31]
The answer would be 6 even numbers greater than 2 and less than 20 would be equal to the sum of two prime numbers.

explanation:

even numbers greater than 2 and less than 20 would be 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18.
the prime numbers we can use would be 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13.

13+3=16 and 13+5=18.
11+3=14.
7+3=10 and 7+5=12.
finally, 5+3=8.

that makes a total of 6 even numbers.
