Suppose we want to choose 4 colors, without replacement, from 18 distinct colors.
amm1812

Answers:

  • (a) 73440
  • (b)  3060

=====================================================

Explanation for part (a)

Consider four slots labeled A,B,C,D.

We have

  • 18 choices for slot A
  • 17 choices for slot B
  • 16 choices for slot C
  • 15 choices for slot D

We started at 18 and counted down until we filled the four slots. The countdown is because we cannot repeat a color. Multiply out those values to get the answer: 18*17*16*15 = 73440

You can use the nPr permutation formula as an alternative method

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

in this case n = 18 and r = 4. The exclamation marks indicate factorial.

-----------------------------------

Explanation for part (b)

Let's say we had color labels A,B,C,... all the way up to R which is the 18th letter in the English alphabet. From those 18 letters, we can only pick four. Let's say we pick D,E,F,G.

Focusing solely on the set {D,E,F,G}, we only have one set and the order doesn't matter. So {D,E,F,G} is the same as {D,E,G,F}.

There are 4*3*2*1 = 24 ways to arrange those four items meaning that we'll need to divide the result of part (a) by 24 to get the result of part (b)

73440/24 = 3060

You could use the nCr combination formula to get the same result

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

where n = 18 and r = 4 are the same from last time.

The connection between nPr and nCr is this

_nC_r = \frac{_nP_r}{r!}

which can be rearranged into

_nP_r = r!*\left( _nC_r \right)

these formulas are handy to help us go back and forth between nCr or nPr.

A line with slope
spayn [35]

Answer:

(0, 8/3) = y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

I chose to find the y-intercept since it is easy to find with the given information.

The equation for a line is y = mx + b

To find the y-intercept, we must plug in the info we have and solve for b:

4 = -1/3 (-4) + b

4 = -4/3 + b

8/3 = b

To find a point on the line, you also could have added -1 to 4 and 3 to -4 since slope means rise/run or change in y/change in x:

(y - 1) / (x + 3) = (4 - 1) / (-4 + 3) = (3, -1) (flip since it's the y and x coordinate) = (-1, 3)

by 8:00 a.m., the snack bar had made $3,256 in sales. By noon, the snack bar's total sales were $8,821. On average how much mone
sammy [17]

Answer:

$1,391.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Noon would be 12:00 PM which would be 4 hours ahead of 8:00 AM

We subtract $8,821 by $3,256 to get the amount earned between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM

$8,821 - $3,256

= $5,565

The find the average taken in within those 4 hours we will have to divide the money earned by the hours

$5,565/4

= $1,391.25
