Answer:

There are 108900 different committees can be formed

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the combination

- We can solve this problem using the combination

- Combination is the number of ways in which some objects can be

chosen from a set of objects

-To calculate combinations, we will use the formula nCr = n!/r! × (n - r)!

where n represents the total number of items, and r represents the

number of items being chosen at a time

- The value of n! is n × (n - 1) × (n - 2) × (n - 3) × ............ × 1

* Lets solve the problem

- There are 12 men and 12 women

- We need to form a committee consists of 3 men and 4 women

- Lets find nCr for the men and nCr for the women and multiply the

both answers

∵ nCr = n!/r! × (n - r)!

∵ There are 12 men we want to chose 3 of them

∴ n = 12 and r = 3

∴ nCr = 12C3

∵ 12C3 = 12!/[3!(12 - 3)!] = 220

* There are 220 ways to chose 3 men from 12

∵ There are 12 women we want to chose 4 of them

∴ n = 12 and r = 4

∴ nCr = 12C4

∵ 12C4 = 12!/[4!(12 - 4)!] = 495

* There are 495 ways to chose 4 women from 12

∴ The number of ways to form different committee of 3 men and 4

women = 220 × 495 = 108900

* There are 108900 different committees can be formed

The measures of four interior angles of a pentagon are 63º, 119º, 125º, and 116º. which is the measure of the fifth interior ang

san4es73 [151]

The sum of interior angles of a pentagon is given by:
(n-2)*180
where
n=number of sides
thus the sum of angles in a pentagon will be:
(5-2)*180
=540
hence to evaluate the missing angles we shall proceed as follows:
sum of the given angles is:
63+119+125+116
=423
thus the missing angle, x, will be:
x+423=540
x=540-423
x=117°

Answer:

The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 2229.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.005 = 0.995$ , so $z = 2.575$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval

This is n when $M = 0.06, \sigma = 1.1$

$0.06 = 2.575*\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.06\sqrt{n} = 2.575*1.1$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*1.1}{0.06}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*1.1}{0.06})^{2}$

$n = 2228.6$

Rounding up

The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 2229.

A number is x units to the right of 0 on a number line. What do you know about the opposite of the number?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

the opposite number is going to be negative because if x is to the right of the number line then the opposite will be of the left of 0 making the opposite number negative.
