Answer: 504

Step-by-step explanation:

When we select r things from n things in a order , we use permutations.

Formula for permutation:  ^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Given : The number of family members who are potential kidney donors. = 9

Number of people needed to be selected for best match, a second-best match, and a third-best match ( in an order)=3

Then, the number of possible orders are = ^9P_3=\dfrac{9!}{(9-3)!}

=\dfrac{9\times8\times7\times6!}{6!}=504

Hence, the number of possible orders 504.

uysha [10]

Answer:

15.87% is the chance that Scott takes more than 4.25 minutes to solve a problem at an academic bowl.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 4 minutes

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.25 minutes

We standardize the given data.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(more than 4.25 minutes to solve a problem)

P( x > 4.25) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{4.25 - 4}{0.25}) = P(z > 1)

= 1 - P(z \leq 1)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 4.25) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587 = 15.87\%

Thus,15.87% is the chance that Scott takes more than 4.25 minutes to solve a problem at an academic bowl.
