Answer: 1320

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this is a permutation problem

n p r = n! / (n-r)!

12 P 3 = 12! / (12-3)!

= 12! / 9!

= 12× 11 ×10 × 9! / 9!

The 9! in the numerator and denminator will cancel out

12 P 3 = 12 × 11 × 10 = 1320

Answer:

A measure of average is a value that is typical for a set of figures. Finding the average helps you to draw conclusions from data. The main types are mean, median and mode. Data is also often grouped.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mean add all the ages together and divide by the total number of children.

If you type all those ages into a calculator it is easy to make an error.
