Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Set it up as
8n = 24
n = 24/8
n = 3
First triangle=bxh/2
=3x4/2
=6in squared
rectangle=l x w
=3 x 10
=30in squared
trapezoid=3+5x2/2
=8in squared
6 + 30 + 8
=44 in squared
A combination is an unordered arrangement of r distinct objects in a set of n objects. To find the number of permutations, we use the following equation:
n!/((n-r)!r!)
In this case, there could be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or all 5 cards discarded. There is only one possible combination each for 0 or 5 cards being discarded (either none of them or all of them). We will be the above equation to find the number of combination s for 1, 2, 3, and 4 discarded cards.
5!/((5-1)!1!) = 5!/(4!*1!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(4*3*2*1*1) = 5
5!/((5-2)!2!) = 5!/(3!2!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(3*2*1*2*1) = 10
5!/((5-3)!3!) = 5!/(2!3!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(2*1*3*2*1) = 10
5!/((5-4)!4!) = 5!/(1!4!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(1*4*3*2*1) = 5
Notice that discarding 1 or discarding 4 have the same number of combinations, as do discarding 2 or 3. This is being they are inverses of each other. That is, if we discard 2 cards there will be 3 left, or if we discard 3 there will be 2 left.
Now we add together the combinations
1 + 5 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 32 choices combinations to discard.
The answer is 32.
-------------------------------
Note: There is also an equation for permutations which is:
n!/(n-r)!
Notice it is very similar to combinations. The only difference is that a permutation is an ORDERED arrangement while a combination is UNORDERED.
We used combinations rather than permutations because the order of the cards does not matter in this case. For example, we could discard the ace of spades followed by the jack of diamonds, or we could discard the jack or diamonds followed by the ace of spades. These two instances are the same combination of cards but a different permutation. We do not care about the order.
I hope this helps! If you have any questions, let me know :)
Answer:
Explain the circumstances for which the interquartile range is the preferred measure of dispersion
Interquartile range is preferred when the distribution of data is highly skewed (right or left skewed) and when we have the presence of outliers. Because under these conditions the sample variance and deviation can be biased estimators for the dispersion.
What is an advantage that the standard deviation has over the interquartile range?
The most important advantage is that the sample variance and deviation takes in count all the observations in order to calculate the statistic.
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
The interquartile range is defined as the difference between the upper quartile and the first quartile and is a measure of dispersion for a dataset.

The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion obatined from the sample variance and is given by:
