Answer:

190 possibilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is called 20 choose 2, given by the formula for combinations

C(20,2) = 20! / (2! (20-2)!) = 190

alternatively, we can reason it this way:

there are 20 choices to choose a captain and 19 choices for an alternate captain for a total of 380 ways.

However, there are 20 choices to choose an alternate captain and 19 choices for a captain for a total of 380 ways.

Since we are essentially double counting every choice of the posts, we need to divide 380 by 2 to get 190 ways.

Can some one explain simplify and show me how to do it or give me a example
nika2105 [10]
When simplifying you need to be able to divide both the top and bottom number in the fraction by one of their factors. A number will be fully simplified when they become a prime number or have one as the numerator.

In a survey of 269 college students, it is found that
Degger [83]

Answer: a) 83, b) 28, c) 14, d) 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n(B) = 69

n(Br)=90

n(C)=59

n(B∩Br)=28

n(B∩C)=20

n(Br∩C)=24

n(B∩Br∩C)=10

a) How many of the 269 college students do not like any of these three vegetables?

n(B∪Br∪C)=n(B)+n(Br)+n(C)-n(B∩Br)-n(B∩C)-n(Br∩C)+n(B∩Br∩C)

n(B∪Br∪C)=69+90+59-28-20-24+10=156

So, n(B∪Br∪C)'=269-n(B∪Br∪C)=269-156=83

b) How many like broccoli only?

n(only Br)=n(Br) -(n(B∩Br)+n(Br∩C)+n(B∩Br∩C))

n(only Br)=90-(28+24+10)=28

c) How many like broccoli AND cauliflower but not Brussels sprouts?

n(Br∩C-B)=n(Br∩C)-n(B∩Br∩C)

n(Br∩C-B)=24-10=14

d) How many like neither Brussels sprouts nor cauliflower?

n(B'∪C')=n(only Br)= 28

Hence, a) 83, b) 28, c) 14, d) 28.
