Answer:

a)  66

b)  45

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 12 horses and after the first race 2 of them have to be eliminated

that condition is equal to consider that 10 horses will be available for the second race.

The number of possiblities we have for the first race is the combination of 12 horses in group of 10

C¹²₁₀   =  12!/ (2!)* (12-2)!   =  12*11/2   = 66

For the second race

C¹⁰₈  = 10! / 8! * (10-8)!   =   10*9/ 2   = 45

Mr. Brown's salary is $32,000 and it increases by 3% each year. What is the explicit rule for this sequence in simplified form?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

This is the concept of geometric series. We are required to find the recursive formula for year n. Here we will use the formula;

nth=ar^(n-1)

where;

a=first term

r=common ratio

n=nth term

Thus

a=8.50

r=(8.85)/(8.50)=1.0412

thus the formula will be:

nth=8.50(1.0412)^n

107,600 115,220 104,910 median, mode, mean
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

<u>1. Mean =  342.7 (Rounding to the nearest tenth)</u>

<u>2. Median =  167.5 </u>

<u>3. Mode = There isn't a mode for this set of numbers because there isn't a data value that occur more than once. </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given this set of numbers: 107, 600,  115, 220,  104, 910, find out these measures of central tendency:

1. Mean = 107 + 600  + 115 + 220 + 104 + 910/6 = <u>342.7</u> (Rounding to the nearest tenth)

2. Median. In this case, we calculate it as the average between the third and the fourth element, this way:

115 + 220 =335

335/2 = <u>167.5 </u>

3. Mode = <u>There isn't a mode for this set of numbers because there isn't a data value that occur more than once. All the data values occur only once.</u>
