There are C(5,2) = 10 ways to choose 2 contraband shipments from the 5. There are C(11, 1) = 11 ways to choose a non-contraband shipment from the 11 that are not contraband. Hence there are 10*11 = 110 ways to choose 3 shipments that have 2 contraband shipments among them.

There are C(16,3) = 560 ways to choose 3 shipments from 16. The probability that 2 of those 3 will contain contraband is
  110/560 = 11/56 ≈ 19.6%

_____
C(n,k) = n!/(k!(n-k)!)

A pizza stand offer both hand- tossed and pan pizza. customer can add any combination of the six available topping.
photoshop1234 [79]
The correct choice would be 128.

If there are 6 options and the person can pick any number of toppings, we need to know the number of subsets that can be formed with 6. That would be 2^6 or 64.

Since there is a pan or hand-tossed option, we need to multiply 64 by 2 to find the total.
64 x 2 = 128

Answer:

A)2

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to integrate the following definite Integral:

\displaystyle  \int_{0} ^{1} 5x \sqrt{x} dx

use constant integration rule which yields:

\displaystyle  5\int_{0} ^{1} x \sqrt{x} dx

notice that we can rewrite √x using Law of exponent therefore we obtain:

\displaystyle  5\int_{0} ^{1} x \cdot  {x}^{1/2} dx

once again use law of exponent which yields:

\displaystyle  5\int_{0} ^{1}  {x}^{ \frac{3}{2} } dx

use exponent integration rule which yields;

\displaystyle  5 \left( \frac{{x}^{ \frac{3}{2}  + 1  } }{ \frac{3}{2}  + 1} \right)  \bigg|  _{0} ^{1}

simplify which yields:

\displaystyle  2 {x}^{2}  \sqrt{x}   \bigg|  _{0} ^{1}

recall fundamental theorem:

\displaystyle  2 (  {1}^{2}) (\sqrt{1}  ) - 2( {0}^{2} )( \sqrt{0)}

simplify:

\displaystyle  2

hence

our answer is A
