Since the the people are not auditioning for the same position, the order in which they are selected matters. This tells us that we have to calculate the permutation of 8 objects taking 3 at a time. The permutation of n objects taking r at a time is given by the formula P(n,r)=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!} \\P(8,3)=\frac{8!}{(8-3)!} =\frac{8\times7\times6\times5!}{5!} =8\times7\times6=336

The director can fill these positions in 366 ways.

A quicker way to solve this problem would have been to realize that there are 8 ways to fill the first position. Once the first position has been filled, there are  7 ways to fill the second position. Once the second position has been filled, there 6 ways to fill the third position. The total number of ways to fill the positions will then be p=8\times7\times6=336. Both ways of working this problem out are valid.

There are 72 different ways the director can fill the positions.

(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8) x 2


You multiply it by 2 because there are going to be 4 other people who will not have a position, and 8/4 is 2.

(219,379.01 - x) / x = .3321
Ivahew [28]

Answer:x = 164686.592598

Step-by-step explanation:

219379.01−x/x = 0.3321

−x+219379.01/x = 0.3321

Step 1: Multiply both sides by x.

−x+219379.01≈0.3321x

−x+219379.01 − 0.3321x = 0.3321x−0.3321x (Subtract 0.3321x from both sides)

−1.3321x + 219379.01 = 0

−1.3321x + 219379.01 − 219379.01 = 0 − 219379.01 (Subtract 219379.01 from both sides)

−1.3321x = −219379.01

−1.3321x/−1.3321 = −219379.01/−1.3321

(Divide both sides by -1.3321)

x = 164686.592598

What is the probability of getting heads, tails, and heads, in that order, when flipping a coin? Are these events dependent or i
leonid [27]
The possiblities that exist:

H, H, H
H, H, T
H, T, H   <----
H, T, T
T, H, H
T, H, T
T, T, H
T, T, T

The answer is 1/8. Now the problem that you gave us isn't dependent upon anything, so more specifically the answer is 1/8 independent.

Nothing has actually happened therefore no odds have been decreased or increased.

Write x2 − 8x + 13 = 0 in the form (x − a)2 = b, where a and b are integers
Marrrta [24]
X^2 - 8x + 13 = 0
subtract 13 from both sides
x^2 - 8x = -13
-8/2 = -4,   (-4)^2 = 16,  add 16 to both sides
x^2 - 8x + 16 = -13 + 16
factor the left side
(x - 4)^2 = 3
