Answer:

462

6

1.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the questions are combinations, we must apply the combination formula, which is as follows:

n C r = (n!) / (r! (n-r)!)

Because there are 6 men and 5 women, there are a total of 11 people.

Thus:

n = 11

In the first question in how many ways can 5 people be selected from this group of 11, r = 5.

Replacing in the formula:

11 C 5 = (11!) / (5! * (11-5)!)

11 C 5 = (11!) / (5! * 6!)

11 C 5 = 462

In the second question, in how many ways can 5 men be selected from the 6 men, here n = 6 and r = 5, replacing we are left with:

6 C 5 = (6!) / (5! * (6-5)!)

6 C 5 = (6!) / (5! * 1!)

6 C 5 = 6

In the last question of what is the probability that the selected group is all men, we have that it is the combination of the two previous questions. Since the total would be part A it would be the total of the combinations of choosing 5 of 11 people and part B of the 6 men that there are the combinations of choosing 5.

Divide the two values ​​from parts A and B to get ...

(result from part B) / (result from part A) = (# of ways to pick 5 men) / (# of ways to pick 5 people)

(result from part B) / (result from part A) = 6/462

(result from part B) / (result from part A) = 0.012

In other words, the probability is 1.2%

You are recreating a scale drawing at a different scale. The original scale is 1 cm : 8 m. The new scale is 1 cm : 2 m. In the o
densk [106]

Answer:

The segment should be 36 centimeters long

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the ratio method to solve the question

∵ The original scale is 1 cm : 8 m

∵ In the original drawing, the length of a segment is 9 centimeters

→ By using the ratio method

→  cm   :  m

→  1      :  8

→  9     :  x

→ By using the cross multiplication

∵ 1 × x = 9 × 8

∴ x = 72 m

∴ The actual length of the segment is 72 m

∵ The new scale is 1 cm : 2 m

∵ The actual length of the segment is 72 m

→ By using the ratio method

→  cm   :  m

→  1      :  2

→  y      :  72

→ By using the cross multiplication

∵ y × 2 = 1 × 72

∴ 2y = 72

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find y

∴ y = 36

∴ The drawing length of the segment is 36 cm in the new scale

∴ The segment should be 36 centimeters long

WHAT THE ANSWER FOR THIS QUESTION? C = { X|X + 6 = 10}
Solnce55 [7]
Given that <span>C = { X | X + 6 = 10}

This can be interpreted grammatically as "C is a set X such that X is the solution to X + 6 = 10".

Given that X + 6 = 10
X = 10 - 6 = 4

Therefore, the solution is
C = {4}

A radio station had 100 tickets to a concert. They gave away 3thimes as many tickets to listeners as to employees. How many tick
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

They gave away 75 tickets to the listeners and 25 to the employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you think about it the function for this would be f(x)=3x+x=100.

3x is the listeners while x is the employees. A simplified version of solving this is doing 100/4 and then 25 times 1 is 25, which is the number of tickets to emplyees.

Luke has a credit line of $8,500 on his credit card. He had a previous balance of $4,236.87 and
Molodets [167]

Subtract the payment from the previous balance:

4236.87 - 3200 = 1036.87

Now add his total purchases:

1036.87 + 989.42 = 2026.29

This is the total amount he owes, now subtract that from his credit line:

8500 - 2026.29 = 6473.71

His available credit is $6,473.71
