Yes because of you find the gcf for 9 and 15, the answer would be 3 so the asnwer is still odd.

In a race between 18 people, how many ways can the top 5 finishers be arranged?

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is permutation, since order matters. The formula for us is

₁₈P₅ = $\frac{18!}{(18-5)!}$ which simplifies to

₁₈P₅ = $\frac{18*17*16*15*14*13!}{13!}$

The factorial of 13 cancels out on the top and bottom leaving you with

₁₈P₅ = 18 × 17 × 16 × 15 × 14

which comes to 1,028,160 ways

Another way to look at it is: the first 5 people of 18 finish and the others you don't care about. Once the first place person is first, there are only 4 of the 18 left to finish in second place. Then there are only 3 left to finish in third place, etc. So if we use that reasoning, we don't even need to use the formula, we can just say

18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * 14 and those are the first 5 people of 18 to finish.

Now, you will consider Option 1, setting a maximum shower time of 10 minutes.

matrenka [14]

The maximum shower time is an illustration of mean and median, and the conclusion is to disagree with Blake's claim

<h3>How to interpret the shower time?</h3>

The question is incomplete, as the dataset (and the data elements) are not given.

So, I will answer this question using the following (assumed) dataset:

Shower time (in minutes): 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 12, 12, 12, 13, 15,

Calculate the mean:

Mean = Sum/Count

So, we have:

Mean = (6+ 7+ 7+ 8+ 8+ 9+ 9+ 9+ 12+ 12+ 12+ 13+ 15)/13

Mean = 9.8

The median is the middle element.

So, we have:

Median = 9

From the question, we have the following assumptions:

The shower time of students whose shower times are above 10 minutes, is 10 minutes
Other shower time remains unchanged.

So, the dataset becomes: 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10

The mean is:

Mean = (6+ 7+ 7+ 8+ 8+ 9+ 9+ 9+ 10+ 10+ 10+ 10+ 10)/13

Mean = 8.7

The median is the middle element.

So, we have:

Median = 9

From the above computation, we have the following table:

Initial Final

Mean 9.8 8.7

Median 9 9

Notice that the mean value changed, but it did not go below 8 as claimed by Blake; while the median remains unchanged.

Hence, the conclusion is to disagree with Blake's claim

➷ As they are similar triangles, there will be a scale factor between them. You may be given one pair of values on the triangle. Divide the larger value by the smaller value in order to find the scale factor between the triangles. For example, if the larger triangle has a length of 6cm and the smaller triangle has a length of 3cm, the scale factor would be 2. You would then multiply the given side by the scale factor to get the length.
