I don't know what this question is asking exactly, but if i am right, it is asking for the ratio of heads flipped to tails flipped. If this is correct, then the ratio would be 24 to 8. My reasoning for this is, it already tells you that you have 8 times that tails was flipped, and all you have to do to figure out the amount of times heads if flipped it to subtract: 32-8=24, so that means that heads was flipped a total of 24 times. The last thing that you have to do is to put it into a ratio, and in the order it gives you initially, which would make the answer (3 ways):
1) 24 to 8
2) 24 : 8
3) 24/8
I hope this helps you.
Ranking is very critical in this problem. Therefore, the most applicable mathematical theory is permutations.
Ranking possible for the cellists:
Needed cellists = 5
Total available cellists = 10
Possible number of rankings = 10P5 = 10!/(10-5)! = 30240
Ranking possible for the violinists:
Needed violinists = 5
Total available = 16
Possible number of rankings = 16P5 = 16!/(16-5)! = 524160
Therefore,
Ratio of rankings (cellists to violinists) = 30240/524160 = 3/52
