1 answer:

3 0

The total of her first six quizzes is 75*6 = 450

Let her seventh score be x
The total of her seven quizzes be 450+x

Then, (450+x)/7 = 77
x = (77*7) - 450 = 89

Her seventh score is 89
x =

Answer:

a) 286

b) 1,037,836,800

c) 285

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Since order is not important, the total possible number of ways to choose 10 players out of 13 is the following combination:

$C(13,10)=\frac{13!}{(13-10)!10! } \\C(13,10)=\frac{13*12*11*10!}{(3*2*1)10! }\\C(13,10) = 286$

b) The total number of possibilities to assign positions by the selecting 10 players is the permutation of 13 players for 10 positions:

$P(13,10) = \frac{13!}{(13-10)!}\\P(13,10) = 13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4\\P(13,10) =1,037,836,800$

c) The number of ways to pick 10 players including at least one woman is equal to the total number of ways to pick 10 players (found in item a) minus the the number of ways to pick 10 players without picking a single woman.

Since there 10 male players for 10 positions, there is only one possible way to pick a team without women, therefore:

$P=286-1 =285$
