alexgriva [62]

Answer:

The number of ways is $\left n} \atop {}} \right. P_r = 336$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of tickets are $n = 8$

The number of finalist are $r =3$

Generally the number of way by which this winners can be drawn and arrange in the order of $1^{st} , \ 2nd , \ 3rd$ is mathematically represented as

$\left n} \atop {}} \right. P_r = \frac{n\ !}{(n-r) !}$

substituting values

$\left n} \atop {}} \right. P_r = \frac{ 8!}{(8-3) !}$

$\left n} \atop {}} \right. P_r = \frac{ 8* 7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{ 5*4*3*2*1}$

$\left n} \atop {}} \right. P_r = 336$

"An integer is negative if and only if it is less than zero."

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

An integer is not negative if and only if it is not less than zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observing each statement individually:

An integer is negative if and only if it is not less than zero

A number that is NOT less than 0 is greater than zero. Negative numbers are less than 0, so this is clearly incorrect.

An integer is not negative if and only if it is less than zero.

A number that is NOT negative is positive. Positive integers are integers greater than zero, so this is also incorrect.

An integer is not negative if and only if it is not less than zero.

A number that is NOT negative is positive. A number that is NOT less than zero is greater than zero, or positive. This statement is correct.

An integer is less than zero if and only if it is not negative.

A number that is less than zero is negative, and this statement claims that a number less is only less than zero if it is NOT negative. This is incorrect.
