So this is what's known as a combination. a combination is a group where the order does not matter. to solve a combination, you use this equation:
n! / (r! *(n-r)!) 
n is the total number of objects being sorted (8)
r is the group you need to sort them into (4)
(i know it's 2 groups of 4 but if you solve this for 1 group, the other group is automatically made of the remaining kids)
definition of !:
a number with a ! means 1*2*3...*that number (so that number multiplied by every number smaller than it all the way to one)

so we put 8 and 4 in this equation:
8! / (4! *(8-4)!) 
simplify:
8! / *(4! 4!) 
multiply out:
(8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) / (4*3*2*1 * 4*3*2*1)
and put that in your calculator
you will get 70
your answer is 70

find the area of the shape below
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

235 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find area of the large rectangle on the bottom. To do that, find its length and width, then multiply them together.

Length of big rectangle=20 cm

Width of big rectangle=9 cm

20x9=180 cm²

Next, find the area of the small rectangle on the top. To do that, find its length and width, then multiply them together.

Length of small rectangle=11 cm

Width of small rectangle=5 cm

I found the width by subtracting 9 from 14, since the 9 cm is part of the large rectangle.

11x5=55 cm²

Add the areas of the two rectangles.

55+180=235 cm²

Select the correct answer. 2 Jay stores hay in cubic stacks on his farm. If the length of each stack is 3 yard, what is the volu
Maurinko [17]

Cubic stack would mean all the sides are the same length.

The length of the side is given as 3 yards.

Volume = 3^3 = 3 x 3 x 3 = 27

Volume = 27 cubic yards.

A sample was taken of the salaries of 20 employees from a large company. The following are the salaries (in thousands of dollars
seropon [69]

Answer:

21,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data ( in thousand ) in this year,

28 31 34 35 37 41 42 42 42 47 49 51 52 52 60 61 67 72 75 77,

If each data is increased by $ 3000 in the next year,

So, the data for the next year,

31 34 37 38 40 44 45 45 45 50 52 54 55 55 63 64 70 75 78 80,

Since, the data is already arranged in the ascending order,

The median is 51 which is between 50 and 52,

Thus, the lower half of the Data is, 31 34 37 38 40 44 45 45 45 50,

Having median Q_1=\frac{40+44}{2} = \frac{84}{2} = 42,

Upper half of the data is 52 54 55 55 63 64 70 75 78 80,

Having median Q_3=\frac{63+64}{2}=\frac{127}{2} = 63.5

Hence, the interquartile range = Q_3-Q_1

= 63.5 - 42

= 21.5

That is, the Interquartile range would be 21, 500.
