Answer:

$1.40$

Step-by-step explanation:

√2=1.41

So, the smallest possible interval will be 1.40 and 1.42

√3=1.73

So, the smallest possible interval will be 1.72 and 1.74

√4=2.00

So, the smallest possible interval will be 1.99 and 2.01

√5=2.24

So, the smallest possible interval will be 2.23 and 2.25

√6=2.45

So, the smallest possible interval will be 2.44 and 2.46

In the local frisbee league, teams have 7 members and each of the 4 teams takes turns hosting tournaments. At each tournament, e

There are 4 teams in total and each team has 7 members. One of the team will be the host team.

Tournament committee will be made from 3 members from the host team and 2 members from each of the three remaining teams. Selecting the members for tournament committee is a combinations problem. We have to select 3 members out 7 for host team and 2 members out of 7 from each of the remaining 3 teams.

So total number of possible 9 member tournament committees will be equal to:

$7C3 \times 7C2 \times 7C2 \times 7C2\\ \\ = 324135$

This is the case when a host team is fixed. Since any team can be the host team, there are 4 possible ways to select a host team. So the total number of possible 9 member tournament committee will be:

$9 \times 324135\\ \\ =2917215$
