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}.

the tips are a flat rate so it’s a constant 30 while the 9 per hour is dependent on the hours worked which is why it is attached to x as a coefficient

A shoe making company makes 256 pairs of boots in a day how many pairs of boots do they make in 260 days​
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of pairs of boots the company makes in 260 days = X

1day -----------------256pairs

260days-------------X

cross multiplying

1×X = 260×256

X= 66560

therefore, in 260days, he makes 66560 pairs
