Answer

28 committees

Explanation:

The total number of members = 8

We want to make a committee of 2 members

We will be applying the combination concept

\begin{gathered} \text{let n = 8 and r = 2} \\ ^nC_r\text{ = }\frac{n!}{(n\text{ - r)!r!}} \\ ^8C_2\text{ = }\frac{8!}{(8\text{ - 2)!2!}} \\ ^8C_2\text{ = }\frac{8!}{6!2!} \\ ^{8_2}C\text{ = }\frac{8\text{ x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1}}{6\text{ x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1! 2 x 1}} \\ ^{8_{}}C_2\text{ = }\frac{8\cdot\text{ 7}}{2} \\ ^{8_{}}C_2\text{ = 28 committees} \end{gathered}

Therefore, 28 committees can be formed

12. A drawer contains 2 red socks, 6 white socks,
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Probability that first sock is blue is 0.33 and Probability that second sock is red is 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red socks = 2

Number of white socks = 6

Number of blue socks = 4

Total socks in drawer = 2+6+4 = 12

The formula used to calculate probability is: Probability=\frac{Number \ of \ favourable \ outcomes}{Total \ number \ of  \ outcomes}

We are given you draw out a  sock, return it, and draw out a second sock.

We need to find the probability that the first sock is blue and the  second sock is red?

Using formula:

Probability that first sock is blue = 4/12 = 1/3 = 0.33

Probability that second sock is red = 2/12 = 1/6 = 0.16

So, Probability that first sock is blue is 0.33 and Probability that second sock is red is 0.16

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

d^2 = 30^2 + 12^2

e^2 = d^2 + 8^2

e^2 = 30^2 + 12^2 + 8^2

e = √(30^2 + 12^2 + 8^2) = 33.3 ft

anzhelika [568]

Question:

Obtian the equation that can be used to solve for c

Answer:

Sin50 = 3/c

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle showing the information given has been attached below for clarity :

Using trigonometry :

AC = 3 = opposite side of angle 50°

AB = c = hypotenus

Using the sine relation of a right angled triangle :

Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus

θ = 50°

Sin 50° = 3 / c

Sin50 = 3/c
