for the given license plate configuration, determine how many different plates are possinle if letters and digits (a) can ba rep

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

a) 1,757,600 different plates possible.

b) 1,404,000 different plates possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

The permutations formula is important to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

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

(a) can be repeated:

There are 3 letters, each one with 26 possible outcomes.

2 digits, each with 10 possible outcomes

So

T = 26*26*26*10*10 = 1757600

1,757,600 different plates possible.

(b) cannot be repeated:

Here the permutations formula is used.

Three letters, from a set of 26.

Two digits, from a set of 10. So

$T = P_{(26,3)}*P_{(10,2)} = \frac{26!}{(26-3)!}*\frac{10!}{(10-2)!} = 1404000$

1,404,000 different plates possible.

F=5/9c+32<br> Solve for c

arsen [322]

F = (5/9)c + 32
F - 32 = (5/9)c
9(F-32) = 5c

(9(F-32))/5 = c

Catherine wants to pass year for Ms. Ford's class and all she has left is to take the final Spring Final. If she earned a 60 on

Anvisha [2.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The final grade is the average of the two semesters.

70 = ½ (60 + x)

x = 80

So Catherine needs a Semester 2 grade of 80%.

The average of RC3 and RC4 is ½ (62 + 53) = 57.5. This accounts for 90% of the Semester 2 grade. The other 10% is the Spring final.

80 = 0.90 (57.5) + 0.10 (x)

x = 282.5

Catherine would have to score 282.5% on the Spring final in order to pass.
