Answer:

32760 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Candidates = 15

Job Positions = 4

Required:

Number of outcomes

This question represent selection; i.e. selecting candidates for job positions;

This question can be solved in any of the following two ways

Method 1.

The first candidate can be chosen from any of the 15 candidates

The second candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 14 candidates

The third candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 13 candidates

The fourth candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 12 candidates

Total Possible Selection = 15 * 14 * 13 * 12

<em>Total Possible Selection = 32760 ways</em>

<em></em>

Method 2:

This can be solved using permutation method which goes thus;

nPr = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Where n = 15 and r = 4

So;

nPr = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!} becomes

15P4 = \frac{15!}{(15-4)!}

15P4 = \frac{15!}{11!}

15P4 = \frac{15*14*13*12*11!}{11!}

15P4 = 15*14*13*12

15C4 = 32760

<em>Hence, there are 32760 ways</em>

Identify Arithmetic Mean, Geometric Mean and Harmonic Mean from the following averages: 56.4, 59.8 and 55.8
photoshop1234 [79]
If you would like to calculate the arithmetic mean, geometric mean, and harmonic mean from the following averages, you can calculate this using the following steps:

averages: 56.4, 59.8, 55.8
the number of values: 3

arithmetic mean:
(56.4 + 59.8 + 55.8) / 3 = 57.33

geometric mean:
(56.4 * 59.8 * 55.8)^(1/3) = 57.31

harmonic mean:
3 / (1/56.4 + 1/59.8 + 1/55.8) = 57.28

An experiment is to be conducted using environmentally safe peppermint oil to study the effectiveness of deterring mice from inf
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Option E is correct.

- Treatments: how the peppermint oil is dispersed

- Experimental unit: mice

- Response variable: number of mice in the dwellings

Step-by-step explanation:

The treatments in this type of statistical experiment refers to the part of the experiment that is tweaked, controlled or varied in the cases being studied. In this experiment, the method of essential oil dispersal is what is varied in the two experimental cases of this study.

Experimental Unit refers to the subject matters, who are participants in the experiment. They are the ones that the effect of the treatments is tested upon.

For this study, the experimental units are the mice subjected to either of the two methods of peppermint oil dispersal.

The response variable is how the experimental units (participants) respond to the treatments (experimental tweaks). Or how the tweaks manifest observable results in the participants of the study. For this study, the effect of the tweaks in the mice is shown in the number of mice that remain in each dwelling (where the two methods of peppermint oil dispersal have been implemented). Hence, the response variable is the number of mice in each dwelling.

Hope this Helps!!!
