A math teacher randomly assigns seats in the classroom to students each quarter. Each student randomly chooses their row number

out of a hat. In the classroom, there are 4 desks in each row and 27 students in your class. What is the probability that you and your 3 friends will get to sit together in the same row?

Using the combination formula, it is found that the probability that you and your 3 friends will get to sit together in the same row is given by:

p = \frac{1}{17550}.

We do not consider the order, hence the <em>combination formula</em> is used to solve this question.

<h3>What is the combination formula?</h3>

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

4 students will be taken from a set of 27, hence the number of ways they can sit is given by:

C_{27,4} = \frac{27!}{4!23!} = 17550

Only one outcome is desired, hence the probability is given by:

p = \frac{1}{17550}.

Twenty eight slips of paper are numbered 1 through 28 and are distributed among a group of people. A random number generator is
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a random number generator is used to select a single number between 1 and 28, inclusively;

For a fair decision to be made during the process, the number of persons in the set must be a divisor of 28.

Let's list the divisors of 28:

The divisors of 28 are {1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28}

The only option that contains one of the divisors is option C which is 7.

Whats a segment connecting midoints
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

A midsegment (or midline)

Step-by-step explanation:

In geometry, a line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct end points, and contains every point on the line between its endpoints. A closed line segment includes both endpoints, while an open line segment excludes both endpoints; a half-open line segment includes exactly one of the endpoints.
