Complete answer:

Fulfill the requirements for a certain degree, a student can choose to take any 7 out of a list of 20 courses, with the constraint that at least 1 of the 7 courses must be a statistics course. Suppose that 5 of the 20 courses are statistics courses.

(a) How many choices are there for which 7 courses to take?

(b) Explain intuitively why the answer to (a) is not \binom{5}{1}\binom{19}{6}

Answer:

a) 71085 choices

b) See below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) First we're going to calculate in how many ways you can take 7 courses from a list of 20 without the constraint that at least 1 of the 7 courses must be a statistics course, that's simply a combination of elements without repetition so it's: \binom{20}{7}, but now we should subtract from that all the possibilities when none of the courses chose are a statistic course, that's is \binom{15}{7} because 15 courses are not statistics and 7 are the ways to arrange them. So finally, the choices for which 7 courses to take with the constraint that at least 1 of the 7 courses must be a statistics course are:

\binom{20}{7}-\binom{15}{7}=71085

b) It's important to note that the constraint at least 1 of the 7 courses must be a statistics course make the possible events dependent, we can not only fix an statistic course and choose the others willingly ( that is what \binom{5}{1}\binom{19}{6} means) because the selection of one course affect the other choices.

The initial population of a town is 2600, and he grows with the doubling time of 10 years. What will the population be in 12 yea
ira [324]
I think it would be 5,720, because if you figure every year the population grows 260, then 2600x2 would be doubled then add the 2 years missing so add 260+260. It would equal 5,720.

The perimeter of a square is twenty-eight<br> inches. What is the length of each side?
Olenka [21]

The <em>perimeter</em> of any shape is given by the sum of it's <em>all sides</em> and as <em>here the shape</em> is <em>square</em> so it's all <em>sides</em> must be <em>equal</em> and it <em>have 4 sides</em>. So if we assume it's one side to be <em><u>s</u></em> , then perimeter = (s+s+s+s) = <em><u>4s</u></em> , so in our question :

{:\implies \quad \sf 4s=28}

{:\implies \quad \sf s=\dfrac{28}{4}=7}

{:\implies \quad \bf \therefore \quad \underline{\underline{s=7\:\: inches}}}

<em>Hence , the length of each side of the square is 7 inches </em>
