Step-by-step explanation:
C
There are 12! ways to line 12 people up. That is 12 factorial (the name for the exclamation point
12! means 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
Using a scientific calculator to compute 12!, we get 479,001,600 ways to line up 12 people. I know it sounds amazing but here is a chart.
People Ways
3 6
4 24 (Notice that if you multiply 6 x 4 you get 24)
5 120 (Notice that if you muliply 24 x 5 you get 120 etc.)
6 720
7 5040
8 40,320
9 362,880
10 3,628,880
11 39,916,800
12 479,001,600
The numbers DO differ by 10 if they are
- 1 and 11
- 2 and 12
- 3 and 13
- 4 and 14
- 5 and 15
Each outcome technically has two ways of occurring, but since we're taking two marbles at a time, that would be the same as saying, for instance, that drawing 1 and 11 is the same as drawing 11 and 1. We only count such an event once.
So the answer is (a) 5.
