Suppose that there are 15 antennas in a store, of which 3 are defective. Assume all the defectives and all the functional antenn

as are indistinguishable. If we lay all the antennas down in a row, how many linear orderings are there in which no two defectives are consecutive?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of antenna is 15

Defective antenna is 3

The functional antenna is 15-3=12.

Now, if no two defectives are to be consecutive, then the spaces between the functional antennas must each contain at most one defective antenna.

So,

We line up the 13 good ones, and see where the bad one will fits in

__G __ G __ G __ G __ G __G __ G __ G __ G __ G __ G __ G __G __

Each of the places where there's a line is an available spot for one (and no more than one!) bad antenna.

Then,

There are 14 spot available for the defective and there are 3 defective, so the arrange will be combinational arrangement

ⁿCr= n!/(n-r)!r!

The number of arrangement is

14C3=14!/(14-3)!3!

14C3=14×13×12×11!/11!×3×2

14C3=14×13×12/6

14C3=364ways

Which of the following is a way that citizens can directly influence law-making and public policy?
sweet [91]

Answer: A way citizens can directly influence the public policy is by following it or not. If there is a policy that no one agrees with, they will not follow it and show that the policy is wrong. When this is done, the policy will go away. That is how citizens can directly change this.

The function f(t) = |98.6-x|, represents a persons's variance from normal body temperature, where x represents a person's curren
Sonja [21]

Answer:

98.1°F ≤ x ≤ 99.1°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function:

f(x) = |98.6 - x|

Variance = 0.5

98.6°F - x = ± 0.5

Lower bound :

98.6 - 0.5 ≤ x

98.1 ≤ x

Upper bound :

x ≤ 98.6 + 0.5

x ≤ 99.1

Hence,

98.1°F ≤ x ≤ 99.1°F

Use Distributive Property: -8 (2y - 3)
attashe74 [19]

Step-by-step explanation: First change the minus inside to plus a negative.

Now we can distribute the -8 through each

of the terms inside the set of parenthses.

So we have -8(2y) + -8(-3) or -16y + 24.

Take a look below.
