Answer:

(a) How many are there to select 2 pairs of gloves?

10 ways

(b) How many ways are there to select 4 gloves out of the 10 such that 2 of the 4 make a pair. (a pair consists of any right glove and left glove.)

130 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

For the above questions we apply that combination formula

(a) How many are there to select 2 pairs of gloves?

There are 5 pairs of gloves according to the question above, hence:

5C2 = 5!/2! × (5 - 2)!

= 5!/2! × 3!

= 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/2 × 1 × 3 × 2 × 1

= 10 ways.

Therefore, there are 10 ways to select 2 pairs of gloves

(b) How many ways are there to select 4 gloves out of the 10 such that 2 of the 4 make a pair. (a pair consists of any right glove and left glove.)

i) A way to select 4 gloves out of 10 gloves =

10C4 = 10!/4! ×(10 - 4)!

= 10!/ 4! × 6!

= 210 ways

ii) In order for 2 of the 4 gloves selected to be a pair, note that we have 5 pairs of gloves hence:

5 × 2⁴

= 80 ways.

Therefore, the number of ways which we can select 4 gloves out of the 10 such that 2 of the 4 make a pair. (a pair consists of any right glove and left glove.) = 210 ways - 80 ways

= 130 ways

820 round to the nearest hundred
grandymaker [24]
Hello! Seeings 20 is less than 50, you then need to round down. If its over 50 then you round up! So if you have 14 its rounded to 10. And if you have 16 round it to 20. So 820 is rounded to 800.
