The correct answer is A) theoretical, because the result is based on the number of possible outcomes.

There is 1 J out of 26 letters, so the probability would be 1/26.

B.) 3.250*106 days

I figured it out!! Yay!

You take 7.8 and divide it by 24 which will get you 0.325
In order to get it match one of the options, multiply it by 10 (which will add 1 to 105!) Leaving you 3.25*106

Nathan received $1,500 dollars for his birthday. He saves 3/5 of his money. 6/20 of his money was used to buy a new game. How mu

Andrews [41]

Answer:

$150

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Find 3/5 of 1500

( 1500 ÷ 5 ) × 3 = 900

→ Find 6/20 of 1500

( 1500 ÷ 20 ) × 6 = 450

→ Find the sum of the 2 numbers

900 + 450 = 1350

→ Minus it from the original 1500

1500 - 1350 = $150

A store sells 8 colors of balloons with at least 28 of each color. How many different combinations of 28 balloons can be chosen?

Len [333]

Answer:

(a) $Selection = 6724520$

(b) $At\ most\ 12 = 6553976$

(c) $At\ most\ 8 = 6066720$

(d) $At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = 5896638$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Colors = 8$

$Balloons = 28$ --- at least

Solving (a): 28 combinations

From the question, we understand that; a combination of 28 is to be selected. Because the order is not important, we make use of combination.

Also, because repetition is allowed; different balloons of the same kind can be selected over and over again.

So:

$n => 28 + 8-1$ $= 35$

$r = 28$

$Selection = ^{35}^C_{28$

$Selection = \frac{35!}{(35 - 28)!28!}$

$Selection = \frac{35!}{7!28!}$

$Selection = \frac{35*34*33*32*31*30*29*28!}{7!28!}$

$Selection = \frac{35*34*33*32*31*30*29}{7!}$

$Selection = \frac{35*34*33*32*31*30*29}{7*6*5*4*3*2*1}$

$Selection = \frac{33891580800}{5040}$

$Selection = 6724520$

Solving (b): At most 12 red balloons

First, we calculate the ways of selecting at least 13 balloons

Out of the 28 balloons, there are 15 balloons remaining (i.e. 28 - 13)

So:

$n => 15 + 8 -1 = 22$

$r = 15$

Selection of at least 13 =

$At\ least\ 13 = ^{22}C_{15}$

$At\ least\ 13 = \frac{22!}{(22-15)!15!}$

$At\ least\ 13 = \frac{22!}{7!15!}$

$At\ least\ 13 = 170544$

Ways of selecting at most 12 =

$At\ most\ 12 = Total - At\ least\ 13$ --- Complement rule

$At\ most\ 12 = 6724520- 170544$

$At\ most\ 12 = 6553976$

Solving (c): At most 8 blue balloons

First, we calculate the ways of selecting at least 9 balloons

Out of the 28 balloons, there are 19 balloons remaining (i.e. 28 - 9)

So:

$n => 19+ 8 -1 = 26$

$r = 19$

Selection of at least 9 =

$At\ least\ 9 = ^{26}C_{19}$

$At\ least\ 9 = \frac{26!}{(26-19)!19!}$

$At\ least\ 9 = \frac{26!}{7!19!}$

$At\ least\ 9 = 657800$

Ways of selecting at most 8 =

$At\ most\ 8 = Total - At\ least\ 9$ --- Complement rule

$At\ most\ 8 = 6724520- 657800$

$At\ most\ 8 = 6066720$

Solving (d): 12 red and 8 blue balloons

First, we calculate the ways for selecting 13 red balloons and 9 blue balloons

Out of the 28 balloons, there are 6 balloons remaining (i.e. 28 - 13 - 9)

So:

$n =6+6-1 = 11$

$r = 6$

Selection =

$^{11}C_6 = \frac{11!}{(11-6)!6!}$

$^{11}C_6 = \frac{11!}{5!6!}$

$^{11}C_6 = 462$

Using inclusion/exclusion rule of two sets:

$Selection = At\ most\ 12 + At\ most\ 8 - (12\ red\ and\ 8\ blue)$

$Only\ 12\ red\ and\ only\ 8\ blue\ = 170544+ 657800- 462$

$Only\ 12\ red\ and\ only\ 8\ blue\ = 827882$

$At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = Total - Only\ 12\ red\ and\ only\ 8\ blue$

$At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = 6724520 - 827882$

$At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = 5896638$
