Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a Combination (as in permutation vs combination) question the symbol (n r) refers to "n choose r". This is sometimes written as nCr

i.e the question is asking you to find how many combinations each will yield when you chose r items from n item without repetition and order does not matter.

I will only do the first question for you and you can just follow the same steps to solve the rest of the questions.

Recall that

nCr=\frac{n!}{(r!)(n-r)!}

Consider question a) we are given (5 1) or ₅C₁

we can see that n = 5 and r = 1

If we substitute this into the formula:

₅C₁ = (5!) / [ (1!)(5- 1)!]

= (5!) / [ (5- 1)!]

= (5!) / (4!)

= (5·4·3·2·1) / (4·3·2·1)

= 5

hence ₅C₁ = 5

Answer:

(a) 5

(b) 10

(c) 35

(d) 28

(e) 9

(f) 21

Step-by-step explanation:

(\frac{n}{k} )=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

(a)

(\frac{5}{1} )=\frac{5!}{1!(5-1)!} \\\\(\frac{5}{1} )=\frac{5*4*3*2*1}{1*4!} \\\\(\frac{5}{1} )=\frac{120}{1*4*3*2*1} \\\\(\frac{5}{1} )=\frac{120}{24} \\\\(\frac{5}{1} )=5

(b)

(\frac{5}{3} )=\frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!} \\\\(\frac{5}{3} )=\frac{5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1*2!} \\\\(\frac{5}{3} )=\frac{120}{3*2*1*2*1}\\\\(\frac{5}{3} )=\frac{120}{12} \\\\(\frac{5}{3} )=10

(c)

(\frac{7}{4} )=\frac{7!}{4!(7-4)!} \\\\(\frac{7}{4} )=\frac{7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{4*3*2*1*3!} \\\\(\frac{7}{4} )=\frac{5040}{4*3*2*1*3*2*1} \\\\(\frac{7}{4} )=\frac{5040}{144} \\\\(\frac{7}{4} )=35

(d)

(\frac{8}{2}) =\frac{8!}{2!(8-2)!} \\\\(\frac{8}{2}) =\frac{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{2*1*6!} \\\\(\frac{8}{2}) =\frac{40320}{2*1*6*5*4*3*2*1}\\\\(\frac{8}{2}) =\frac{40320}{1440} \\\\(\frac{8}{2}) =28

(e)

(\frac{9}{8} )=\frac{9!}{8!(9-8)!} \\\\(\frac{9}{8} )=\frac{9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1*1!} \\\\(\frac{9}{8} )=\frac{362880}{40320*1!} \\\\(\frac{9}{8} )=\frac{362880}{40320*1} \\\\(\frac{9}{8} )=\frac{362880}{40320} \\\\(\frac{9}{8} )=9

(f)

(\frac{10}{4} )=\frac{10!}{4!(10-4)!} \\\\(\frac{10}{4} )=\frac{10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{4*3*2*1*6!} \\\\(\frac{10}{4} )=\frac{3628800}{24*6*5*4*3*2*1} \\\\(\frac{10}{4} )=\frac{362880}{17280} \\\\(\frac{10}{4} )=21

Inessa [10]

Answer:

Z score with a confidence level of 95% is 1.96

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the z score with the confidence level of 95% is shown below:

While determining the margin of error for the normally distributed population from the sample, the z score of the confidence level of 95% is 1.96

The same is to be considered

Therefore the third option is correct
