1. Given a group of n people. There are C(n, r) ways of forming groups of r out of n.

2. Where C(n, r)=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

3. For example, given {Andy, John, Julia}. We want to pick 2 people to give a gift: we can pick {(Andy, John), (Andy, Julia), (John, Julia)}, so there are 3 ways. So we can list and count.

4. Or we could do this with the formula C(3, 2)=\frac{3!}{2!(1)!}= \frac{3*2*1}{2*1}=3

5. C(8, 6)=\frac{8!}{2!6!}= \frac{8*7*6!}{2*6!}= \frac{8*7}{2}= 4*7=28

So there are C(8,6)=28 ways of chosing 6 out of 8 people to form the subcommittees. <span />

Answer:

A. (x - 3)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph the x-axis is crossed by the graph at different points which are;

x = 3  and x = -3

This means the solutions are : x = 3 and x =-3

The factors will form the following equation : (x - 3)(x + 3)

ElenaW [278]

Answer:   The margin of error = 3\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sample size (n) = 1000

Population proportion = 0.4

\alpha = 1 - confidence level

  = 1 - 0.95

   = 0.05

margin\;  of\;  error = z_{\frac{\alpha }{2}}\sqrt{\frac{{\widehat{p}}{(1 -\widehat{p})}}{n}}

margin\;  of\;  error = z_{\frac{0.05 }{2}\sqrt{\frac{{(0.4)}{(1 -0.4)}}{1000}}

                             = z_{0.025}\sqrt{\frac{{(0.4)}{(0.6)}}{1000}}

                             = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{{(0.4)}{(0.6)}}{1000}}

                            =  0.03

The margin of error change to 2.5\% to 3\%
