Answer:

a) 1470 ways

b) 2835 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is not correct, in the correct question The number of independents should be 3 not 2

there are 7 republicans, 10 democrats and 3 independents.

C(n,r) is the number of different combinations of n distinct objects taken r at a time.

C(n,r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

a) it will consist of 1 Republican and 4 Democrats

The number of ways this can be chosen is = C(7,1) × C(10,4) = \frac{7!}{(7-1)!1!}  * \frac{10!}{(10-4)!4!} = 7 × 210 = 1470 ways

(b) it will consist of 2 Republicans, 2 Democrats, and 2 Independents (consist of 2 independents not 3)

The number of ways this can be chosen is = C(7,2) × C(10,2) × C(2,2)

 =\frac{7!}{(7-2)!2!}  * \frac{10!}{(10-2)!2!}* \frac{3!}{(3-2)!2!} = 21 × 45 × 3 = 2835 ways

The last term of an arithmetic sequence is 14 and the ninth term is -1. Find the first four
Olegator [25]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

where n is the number of terms, a1 is the first term and an is the last term. The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is called an arithmetic series . Example 1: Find the sum of the first 20 terms of the arithmetic series if a1=5 and a20=62 .An arithmetic sequence is a sequence where the difference between any two consecutive terms is a constant. ... As with any recursive formula, the initial term of the sequence must be given. An explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence with common difference d is given by an=a1+d(n−1) a n = a 1 + d ( n − 1 ) .

Sarah has 25 candies. Sarah gave 2/5 of the candies to her sister. Of the amount left she gave 2/3 to her friend. How many candi
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

5 candies

Step-by-step explanation:

Total of candy Sarah has = 25candies

If Sarah gave 2/5 of the candies to her sister, the total amount she gave her sister will be 2/5 of 25

2/5 of 25 = 10

The remaining candy left will be 25-10 which is 15.

If she gave 2/3 of amount left to her friend, the amount she gave her friend will be 2/3×15 = 10candies.

The amount of candy Sarah have left will be 15- 10 which is 5candies.
